José Mourinho weighs in on Otamendi penalty in Benfica–Famalicão clash | OneFootball

José Mourinho refused to comment on Miguel Ribeiro’s criticism of the refereeing team’s decision to award a penalty on Nicolás Otamendi. At the end of the Benfica – Famalicão match, which ended with a 1-0 victory for the Eagles, the Benfica leader also took a jab at Sporting.

“About Famalicão’s complaints, I have nothing to do with that. My opinion? Penalty. Easy. I’m weak in meteorology, I don’t even watch it on TV. I just check my iPhone to see what the temperature is,” José Mourinho began, speaking about the penalty incident.

The Benfica coach was also asked about Francesco Farioli’s statements: “I don’t want to comment on what the Porto coach said or what the president or owner of Famalicão said. I don’t want to. I think things are too obvious.”

“What happened in that game [Santa Clara – Sporting] was too obvious, I think no one has any doubts. Some people talk a lot, some talk a little, I decided not to say anything because I don’t feel like being on the front page of the newspaper or the opening topic for TV commentators. I don’t feel like it. So much has already been said. I think there’s a unanimity that usually doesn’t exist. Why should I talk? It’s not worth it,” José Mourinho concluded after Benfica – Famalicão.

With this win – the 20th in 30 games this season – Benfica now has 35 points from 15 matches (10 wins and five draws). The Eagles temporarily occupy second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic, waiting to see what Sporting does this Wednesday at 8:45 p.m. in Guimarães. Porto is first (43 points).
