Agent: Mou was misunderstood
Monday 22 February, 2010
Inter are set to appeal against the decisions of the Giudice Sportivo, while Jose Mourinho's agent says he was misunderstood.
The Special One has been handed a three-week suspension, which he will have to serve starting from the midweek game against Udinese.
“His gesture was misunderstood,” said Eladio Parames, the coach's spokesman.
“It had nothing to do with the referee. He wanted to say 'take me away, put me into jail, but my team is the strongest and we will win even if we play with nine men'”
Mourinho cannot currently speak to the Press since Inter have imposed a temporary stop to communications from the club. But his spokesman did not refrain to release controversial comments.
“I would like to say to Caludio Ranieri that Jose both with Roman Abramovich's Chelsea and Massimo Moratti's Inter has won many titles.
“On the contrary Ranieri with Chelsea and Juventus, the club of the Agnelli's family has won nothing.”
Parames made even more controversial comments when he spoke about Walter Mazzarri.
“A donkey will never become a stallion. When he was at Porto, Jose had a €60m budget in 2004 and despite that he won while his club spent over €57m on the transfer market.
“That is why the donkey must be taught that the transfer market represents only a side of a club's budget.”
Meanwhile, Inter's patron has expressed his surprise over the ruling. "We didn't expect it," said Massimo Moratti.
"But we have a big game ahead of us so let's try not to create more controversy. Our silence is a 'respectful' one which journalists fail to understand."
