JAKARTA - AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho is back in action. He mocked coach Monza Raffaele Palladino in the Italian Serie A match which Roma won 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, Sunday, October 22 evening WIB. Mourinho also gave an answer to his actions which turned out to be motivated by a grudge against Palladino. For his unsportsmanlike behavior, Mourinho was carded red.

Mourinho is increasingly safe and far from being threatened with dismissal after bringing Roma to success. The successive victory over the last four matches in domestic competitions made Roma improve their position.

Hanya, dirinya kembali beraksi kurang sportif di pertandingan itu. Berawal dari celebration yang dilakukannya di pinggir lapangan saat Stephan El Shaarawy berhasil memecahkan kebuntuan dengan memboke gawang Monza.

Mourinho seemed to vent his frustration when celebrating his players' goals excessively. He did it because Roma had difficulty dealing with Monza.

How could I not, the visitors played hard despite losing a player since the 41st minute. But they finally gave up and Roma's deadlock was broken through a substitute's goal.

It didn't stop there, the former Inter Milan coach then moved like he was crying. Mourinho seemed to wipe away tears with his body against Palladino. The movement seemed to mock the Monza coach.

For his actions, referee Giovanni Ayroldi immediately gave a red card. Even though the game was only one or two minutes away. Mourinho seems ready to accept the punishment. He without protest immediately got up from the bench and left the field.

Mourinho's answer to his actions and a red card? "I just did moves. I didn't act offensively," said Mourinho, who turned out to still have a grudge against Palladino.

"Remember, last season there were those who were actually talented but had minimal experience. They cursed at us," he said again.

"This time, there is someone who actually just wants to show on the sidelines. But instead there are those who put pressure on the referee, namely from the Monza camp," said the former Real Madrid and Chelsea coach.

Even though he was carded red for venting his grudge, Mourinho still praised Monza. He admitted that Monza showed the best game that made it difficult for Roma. Even Mourinho considered the opposing team not worthy of losing.

"Honestly, they [Monza] are a good team and don't deserve to lose. I'm also happy with this victory. It must be admitted that my team really had difficulties. We made a lot of technical mistakes. The players also looked exhausted after strengthening the national team," he said.

Mourinho, who was shown a red card, certainly could not accompany the team during the away match against Inter, his former team, next week.
