Mourinho: I don't want to say the referee is from Turin, but deliberately suspended me from the next game against Juventus! 

The Portuguese head coach of AS Roma, Jose Mourinho fiercely reacted to his withdrawal in the away match on the 24th day of the Italian championship against Cremonese. The Romans lost the match with a score of 1- 2. Mourinho received a red card early in the second half for talking to the reserve referee. He will miss the next Serie A match against Juventus, the encounter is scheduled for March 5. Jose Mourinho took his frustration out on the officials at the start of the second spell and was given a red card for dissent in just the second minute after the halftime break. “I don’t want to get into the fact that Serra is from Turin and on Sunday we are playing against Juventus. For the first time in my career, a fourth official spoke to me in the most incredible way. It was unjustifiable.
"I want to find out if there is an audio recording. I don't want to get into the fact that Serra is from Turin and on Sunday we are playing against Juventus. “At the end of the game, I went to speak to them. Piccinini, who was the fourth official in the last game when I was sent off, told me to apologize to Serra. I told Serra he should have the courage to explain what happened, but he had memory problems.” The defeat to Cremonese is another chapter in what has been a hugely inconsistent campaign for Mourinho’s Roma. The capital outfit currently sits fifth in the Serie A standings and just one point off of the Champions League places. Mourinho lamented his side's display with the race for the top four wide open ahead of the Giallorossi's clash with Juventus on Sunday. "We were a little unlucky, conceding two goals on their one-and-a-half chances," he said. "The responsibility is ours. We lacked intensity and should’ve killed off the game straight away. "I am taking it one game at a time. I cannot leave this game behind now, I cannot even think about Sunday. There is frustration, which obliges me to analyze. It is a pity this thing happened with Serra: I respect someone as much as they respect me." 
Roma AS ranks fifth in the Italian League ranking table in the current season 2022-2023, with 44 points, while Cremonese comes in 19th place, with 12 points.
