José Mourinho left no one indifferent at the press conference ahead of the match against Inter Milan. The Real Madrid manager used the opportunity to analyze the defeat to Real Betis, directly criticizing VAR’s inaction after Kylian Mbappé’s missed penalty. Mourinho was particularly harsh on the officials in charge of the technology. “Why wasn’t it retaken? Because VAR doesn’t know the rules... or because they didn’t want to,” he said. For the Real Madrid manager, both scenarios are serious: “If VAR didn’t order it to be retaken because they didn’t know the rules, they should go home and leave it. If they didn’t order the retake because they didn’t want to, that’s even worse.” The Portuguese manager also expressed his confusion over Vinicius Junior being booked while wearing the captain’s armband. “When Vinicius approaches the referee and gets shown a card before he even reaches him, I’d like to know why. Why are we always told that the captain has the right to approach the referee politely?” he complained to the media. Real Madrid will look to quickly move on from the incident in their European fixture. However, Mourinho’s comments highlight the deep frustration within the Madrid dressing room over the refereeing following this start to the season.   submitted by   /u/IndividualPleasant23 [link]   [comments]
