Jose Mourinho wanted two penalties
Mourinho then proceeded to have an altercation with the reporter, where he suggested that Roma should have won two penalties today that they didn’t win. He repeatedly asked the reporter for his opinion on the game, but the reporter stayed on the fence. For Mourinho, the referees were culpable for taking away the win from AS Roma.
At this point, the reporter dropped the subject and asked Mourinho about Bodo/Glimt’s performance in the match. “They are a good team, they had good players. They had two shots, and they scored two goals. The result was 2-2. We had two penalties. We had four or five more chances to score,” Mourinho answered.
