From the Roma coach Jose Mourinho there was a conflict with the Monza coach Raffaele Palladino.
The Portuguese was sent off in injury time for a simulated crying gesture towards the opposing team’s coach and the reserve referee. After the match, Mourinho told reporters that Monza were “putting on a show” on the touchline and were “trying to put pressure on the referee” after the visiting defender’s sending off Danilo D’Ambrosio in the 41st minute.
In the press conference, José was also asked about the situation with the Monza midfielder. Alexander Gomez, who was banned for 2 years for doping. The footballer insists he accidentally took children’s cough syrup, the reason for the positive test.
Last season, Gomez played for Sevilla, who beat Roma in the Europa League final.
The Roma coach commented:
Gomez did not play in the Europa League final. I think he played against Juventus after the positive result. I don’t want to talk about it anyway. If I have a cough I don’t take this syrup, otherwise I will also have problems.
