Roma head coach Jose Mourinho summed up the results of the match of the 20th round of Serie A with Milan (1:3).
“Even at 0: 2 we remained in the game, but following the removal Rick Karsdorp it was all over.
At the same time, I must say that the performance was very weak. If you look at the first two goals, they were scored when we lost the ball twice in simple situations. The quality of our game was definitely lacking. Today I didn’t like the work of the referee or the game of my team.
The work of the referee and his video assistant also lacked quality. I saw that Timmy Abraham made a hand movement, but it was not an attempt to stop the ball. If you give for such a penalty, then you must give them for fouls on Zaniolo and Roger Ibanese… Either bet three penalties, or bet none.
We want to see consistency in the decisions we make, so I say that the level was low, but we had no luck with the judges either. The judge was unable to show character. VAR wanted to intervene, but since the game continued … We are small people.
I understood everything at once. I have been at Roma for 6-7 months, I get used to this attitude, although, of course, it’s not worth getting used to.
I hate to say this, but I have to say that I did not understand what the referee and the VAR were doing today.
But I will not deny that we did not play the best way. We have an average squad, so we go in the middle of the table, where it belongs. We made many mistakes today, and it was not a matter of tactics, but of individual decisions.
Now the worst is the result, because we did not score a single point. But I’ll mentally be ready for the next game [с «Ювентусом»]when this interview is over. It will be difficult.
We have certain difficulties, but we will try to improve, ”said the DAZN coach.
The match was served by a referee team led by Daniele Kiffy.
