Mourinho Attacks Disciplinary Committee: Why Now?
José Mourinho has been furious since the announcement of Vinícius Júnior's suspension.
According to "Sports Three", Jose Mourinho directly criticized the Spanish Football Federation's competition committee for announcing Vinicius Jr.'s four-session ban; The ban was confirmed on Wednesday, just a few hours before the Champions League match against Roma.
In an interview with the Movistar Plus network, the Real Madrid head coach, in response to the question whether this ban could affect the Brazilian player mentally, instead of talking about Vinicius, directed his criticism at the disciplinary body of the federation.
Mourinho said: "I think this question should be asked of the competition committee; Why did they decide to announce the ban at this exact time? "If you're asking me that question, it's probably because you think it might affect him."
"You have to ask the committee why they didn't announce this decision this morning or tomorrow morning," he continued. Why do they have to do this two hours before a match that is very important for Real Madrid, as a Spanish club?"
In the end, when Mourinho was asked how he felt about returning to Roma, the club he will lead from 2021-2024, the Portuguese coach gave a curt reply, saying he had "blocked" the feeling away.
