Mourinho infuriates the Hague: opened an investigation
Roma coach José Mourinho again caused controversy on the eve of the match against Sassuolo. The Special One immediately attacked referee Marcenaro, designated for the match: "I am worried about the referee, we have had him three times as IV Man and the feeling è that he does not have the emotional stability for a match of this level".
"The profile of the’referee does not leave me calm and neither does the Var, è a referee with whom we have always had bad luck, in’accepting a certain profile of work".
The statements by the Giallorossi coach did not please the Aia at all, with president Carlo Pacifici responding harshly: "I read with amazement and concern certain statements that I consider specious, gratuitous and unacceptable. If anyone thinks they are doing tactics or pretactics by putting psychological pressure on referees before a match è absolutely off the mark. I have always respected the work of others and I demand the same respect for the work that referees are doing. Certain statements can create and develop violence even and especially in the minor categories. Everyone therefore has to take full responsibility for what they say".
The FIGC prosecutor's office immediately opened an investigation, Ansa reported. Roma-Sassuolo è scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m.
