José Throws Ball into Media's Court / Mourinho: Watch the First Minute of the Match, We'll Talk Saturday!

At his press conference ahead of the Champions League match against Roma, José Mourinho made remarks about the Villarreal match that overshadowed everything else he said.

According to Sports 3 report, Jose Mourinho, the head coach of Real Madrid, on the eve of his team's crucial European match against Rome, with a meaningful taunt to the referee of the previous match, asked the reporters to review the scene of the first minute of the game with Villarreal once again to determine the truth.

Mourinho, who spoke at the press conference before the game against Roma in the second week of the group stage of the European Champions League, as expected, faced the same questions from Spanish reporters at the beginning of the meeting. Spanish reporters tried hard to get him to talk about the refereeing controversy in last Saturday's game against Villarreal, but Mr. Khas avoided giving a direct answer five times in a row, but finally decided to speak his mind in a sarcastic way. He dropped the ball in the media's court and postponed the main discussion to Saturday's meeting.

Mourinho said in response to the insistence of the media: "I will say only one thing. I invite you all to watch the first minute of the game with Villarreal. See the same and we will talk at the press conference on Saturday. For someone who understands football, the first minute is enough."

The Portuguese head coach of Real Madrid added: "If you ask why my players in La Liga play with crutches and under pressure, there must be a reason. I trust all the referees before the whistle, both in Europe and in the league. But what I think is strange is that the names of the referees should be announced 24 hours before the match, but everyone knows about it three weeks before. "I see that criticisms are not raised clearly and clearly in matters that are completely clear."

Mourinho explained Fede Valverde's change of position and his brilliance in the right-back position against Villarreal: "In the game against Villarreal, the Real Madrid coach did a very good job. We found what we were looking for. We had a lot of attacking solutions to replace, but I decided to change the right-back profile because Fede could make the difference. This time our decision paid off, although this is not always the case. "We only have one Fede Valverde and this scenario was made possible by the presence of two quality full-backs at the same time."

The head coach of Real continued to have a cold attitude towards the questions about John Piero Gasperini, he evaluated the strength of Rome and reviewed his past memories in the Italian capital and said: "I shouldn't say this, but Inter and Roma are the most powerful teams in Italian football today. I have very fond memories in Rome and have seen both teams play. I am fully prepared for this return to the home stadium of Rome. "Rome and I both just want to win and memories will be put aside during the ninety minutes of the match."

In another part of his speech, Mourinho praised the Giallorossi fans and said: "This match is a game like other matches. If I can forget where I am and what I've been through, it's a normal race and I intend to do the same. The main pressure of the game in Olimpico has not started yet and will come during the match. I win the hearts of the fans with my true identity and I always consider the interests of the club above my own. That's why people feel close to me. Together with Rome, we won the conference league and reached the final of the Europa League. "I've been treated very well at many clubs, but the people at Roma are really special."

But what happened in the first minute of the game against Villarreal that angered Mourinho?

By reviewing the video of the first ten minutes of this match, Marca newspaper revealed the secret of the Portuguese coach's sarcasm. According to this review, the incident happened exactly at 1:04. Kylian Mbappe had a one-on-one opportunity after a deep pass, but the assistant referee raised his flag for offside in a very questionable decision. A few minutes later, a similar suspicious scene happened on Mbappe's move, and again the referee's whistle prevented the attack from continuing. The strange thing is that during the live TV broadcast of the match, no slow angle or referee line was shown for these two sensitive scenes and Mourinho believes that the referee's approach against Real Madrid started from the sixty-fourth second of the game.
