Jose Mourinho refused to comment on Real's victory over Villarreal with a score of 1:0. After the match, which was accompanied by refereeing controversies and the ejection of Vinicius Junior, the coach chose to remain silent. Earlier, there were discussions about the possible return of Mourinho to Real. The incident was reported by UA-Football, referring to Marca.
«I will not speak because I want to sit on the bench against “Sevilla” and “Barcelona”», — explained Mourinho.
Why Mourinho chose not to communicate with the press
The Portuguese coach only came out to journalists about 40 minutes after the final whistle. Later, representatives of La Liga announced the cancellation of the press conference. Real players also did not appear before the media.
This is already the second consecutive match after which Mourinho expresses discontent with the refereeing. After the derby with Atletico, he stated that the opponents should have finished the game with nine players.
Vinicius's red card angered the fans
In the match against Villarreal, Vinicius Junior received a red card after pulling an opponent's hair. The episode occurred shortly after the referee disallowed the Brazilian's goal. Earlier, Inkorr reported on the salaries of Real players, among which Vinicius ranks among the highest.
The referee's decision outraged the fans at the «Bernabeu». Supporters chanted slogans against the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga president Javier Tebas.
Interest in the future of the Madrid coach was heightened by rumors of a three-year contract for Mourinho with Real.
