After the 1-0 win against Villarreal in round 8 of La Liga, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho surprised many people by not attending the press conference at Bernabeu Stadium. He also did not give an interview on the team's TV channel, which happened after a tense and controversial match.
Mourinho had strong reactions to the referee's decisions during the match. According to information from the Spanish press, Mourinho may have wanted to avoid the risk of being disciplined if he made angry statements about refereeing. The 63-year-old coach is concerned that speaking after the match could lead to a suspension, which will affect his preparations for the El Clasico match against Barcelona on October 25.
The match against Villarreal became tense when in the 73rd minute, player Vinicius, after entering the field in the 52nd minute, scored but was denied for pulling the opponent's hair. Not only was the goal denied, Vinicius also received a direct red card, causing Real Madrid to play without players for the last 20 minutes. This decision caused the Real coach and players to react violently to referee Isidro Diaz de Mera.
In addition to Vinicius, there are 5 other Real players who were warned in this match, including Jude Bellingham, Ibrahima Konate, Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni and Kylian Mbappe. According to AS newspaper, the referee team's management style has caused frustration among the Real coaching staff. Therefore, the fact that Mourinho chose not to speak after the match surprised many people, because he often did not hesitate to criticize the referee in previous matches.
Despite many controversies, Real Madrid still won thanks to Yan Diomande's only goal in the 62nd minute. The Ivory Coast striker scored from a pass from Federico Valverde, but the goal was initially rejected for offside before VAR confirmed it properly.
This victory cannot hide the problems in Real Madrid's playing style, as they continue to lack cohesion in attack and have to depend on defense as well as saves from Thibaut Courtois to preserve the score. Currently, Real Madrid is third on the La Liga rankings, six points behind top team Barcelona. This gap increases the pressure on Mourinho, especially when El Clasico is approaching.
Mourinho is expected to return to the media on October 13, at a press conference in Rome before the Champions League match. He may have to explain Vinicius' red card, his reactions to the referee and his reason for not participating in the press conference after the win over Villarreal.
What happens next
Mourinho will need to focus on preparing for the important match against Barcelona on October 25. Vinicius' absence due to a red card can reduce Real Madrid's attacking power, and the coach will have to find a way to adjust the squad to ensure good results in this big match.
