AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho was fuming to see his side denied a last-minute winner in the 0-0 draw to Genoa on Saturday.
Nicolo Zaniolo saw his last-minute goal ruled out due to a foul in the build-up, with the winger later being sent off for dissent.
Mourinho wasn’t happy to see this and said after the game: “'I can comment on the game, but not the goal, not the red of the reaction after that. I prefer to avoid this. We can talk about the game, but I prefer not to talk about this.
“If the referee made the right decision, then our sport that many years ago became the sport that people love, then this has changed. This is a different sport. A different sport. If that is a foul, then this is no longer football, we have to call it something else. We need a different name, because it's a different sport.
“If the referee made a mistake and disallowed the goal, he will be the first to be upset at getting it wrong, while for Roma it is deja vu, as this has already happened many times to us this season. There is also a third option, which is that Roma are considered 'small' in the eyes of those who are powerful.
“I leave it there, as the Mourinho who arrived here seven months ago has a different profile to beforeZaniolo was sent off for telling the referee what the f**k are you whistling a foul for?
“Now you tell me, would Chiellini at Juve's stadium or Zlatan at the San Siro have been sent off for saying this?”
AS Roma fell behind in the Serie A top-4 race with the draw on Saturday and now are 4 points behind the 4th place.
