Mourinho Skips Press Conference After Vini Jr.'s Hair-Pulling Incident
The coach delayed his remarks after Vinicius Jr was sent off and a goal was disallowed, deepening Real Madrid’s frustration with refereeing.
- Manager Jose Mourinho skipped the post-match press conference following Real Madrid's clash with Villarreal on Saturday, avoiding media 40 minutes after the match ended at Santiago Bernabéu.
- Referee Isidro Diaz dismissed Vinicius with a straight red card in the 73rd minute for pulling Villarreal player Nathan Saliba's hair, leaving Real Madrid with 10 men on the field.
- Fearing a suspension after receiving a yellow card, Mourinho stated, "I'm not going to speak because I want to sit on the bench against Sevilla and Barcelona."
- Chants of "corruption in the Federation" and "Negreira" echoed throughout Santiago Bernabéu as fans expressed intense frustration with the officiating and the disallowed goal.
- With a Champions League match against Roma scheduled for Tuesday, Mourinho will likely decline further comment to avoid potential disciplinary sanctions, according to reports.
