José Mourinho on Veríssimo saga: “I’m intrigued” | OneFootball

José Mourinho addressed the preview of the Benfica–Bayer Leverkusen match, part of the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. In a press conference, the Eagles’ coach was questioned about Fábio Veríssimo and about the television in the referees’ room at Estádio do Dragão:

“At this moment, I have no comment to make, but I won’t deny that I will wait with interest and some expectation. What I read were news reports, I haven’t read the report and I know very little.”

“I am not a commentator. I am the coach of Benfica and, besides that, I am one of the most important people in Portuguese football. I cannot make gratuitous comments about a situation that could be serious. I read some things, but I haven’t read the referee’s report or the reports. That’s not enough. Irresponsible and unbalanced people may comment on a situation that could be serious, but it might not be. That’s why I say I am expectant. As Benfica’s coach and an important person in Portuguese football, I cannot comment, as I could end up in a ridiculous situation.” he stated.
