Mourinho's words after Moreirense v Benfica, some warn: A war is coming | OneFootball

Luís Pedro Sousa highlights that José Mourinho has been forced to adopt a stance more focused on refereeing errors. According to the Record journalist, the Benfica coach has had to confront the successive mistakes that have been piling up, ultimately opening a ‘war’ with his rivals.

In his opinion piece, published in today’s edition, December 15, and entitled The Warrior Mourinho, Luís Pedro Sousa began by recalling the early moments: “On the day he returned to Portugal to coach Benfica, José Mourinho contacted Villas-Boas and Varandas, assuring them he was not coming to make war.”

“Without anyone asking, even because it was a hard scenario to imagine, the Special One himself announced it loud and clear,” Pedro Sousa recalled, following José Mourinho’s statements, in which he targeted the refereeing team due to an unawarded penalty.

However, the Record journalist explained that, as time went by, the Benfica coach had to act: “José Mourinho found himself forced to take professional football communication into his own hands. No one does it better… or, if you will, there is simply no one else who does it.”

“People’s nature is almost impossible to change, and José Mourinho has his own. After pointing the finger at Hjulmand in the last derby, he now comes to talk about pressures, complaints, and cries from the rivals, referring to the refereeing in Moreirense-Benfica. Well, more war is coming. Maybe even today, on the occasion of the Stromp Awards ceremony,” concluded Luís Pedro Sousa.
