Roma head coach Jose Mourinho admitted that he had a hidden microphone during the entire match of the 33rd round of the Italian championship against Monza (1:1). The Portuguese coach accused the match's chief referee Daniele Kiffi of incompetence.
"I'm not stupid, I went to the game with a microphone and recorded everything. I had to defend myself.
They say we will never win with Daniele Orsato, but I would like to have him in every game because he has everything under control on the football field. He doesn't need to get angry, he's calm. Kiffy has little in common with the referee. He has a talent for getting angry, and that's all. But this goes against the nature of a referee, who should be the exact opposite. The referee did not influence the result, but the second yellow card in the 96th minute makes everything clear," Mourinho was quoted as saying by the press service of the Roman club.
It will be recalled that Kiffie showed the Roma coach a yellow card in the 35th minute of the match, and in stoppage time he removed Roman defender Zeki Celik.
