Jose Mourinho, 59, is angry that Roma did not receive a penalty against Atalanta.
He will change his advice to his future players.
– Be a clown and dive like you are in a swimming pool. Obviously, this is how you get punished, says the Roma coach according to Football Italia.
Caleb Okoli and Nicolo Zaniolo get into a duel as they pull each other’s clothes off. When they entered the penalty area a few meters away, Roma player Zaniolo fell. Roma wanted a penalty kick. Referee Daniel Chevy did not agree.
This caused many players to gather around Chiffi and Roma Coach Jose Mourinho To enter the field trying to express his annoyance. He pointed at the referee from afar and colleagues should have tied him up. So Mourinho got the red card.
After the match, he was clear about how he saw the situation.
– It was a clear penalty. I then asked the judge why it wasn’t. He asked him to be clear that the reason was that Zaniolo did not fall, Mourinho says according to Fotball Italia.
“Dive as if you were in the pool”
The Roma coach criticized the referee’s actions, and at the same time mocked several players of the Italian first division football.
– I have to change my advice to the players. I must tell them not to try to stand up. Instead, be a clown and dive the way many other players in this league do as if you were in a swimming pool. Because obviously that’s how you get punished, he says.
Roma-Atalanta finished 0-1.
