Jose Mourinho caused a stir in Portugal! He confronted the referee

In Week 11 of the Portuguese League, Benfica, led by former Fenerbahçe coach Jose Mourinho, suffered a major shock. Benfica drew 2-2 with Casa Pia, who are at the bottom of the league, and coach Mourinho went berserk. Mourinho, who strongly protested the penalty awarded to Casa Pia, received a yellow card for his protests. After Casa Pia scored in the 90+1st minute, Benfica settled for one point, and Jose Mourinho continued his protest by walking towards the referee after the match. Here are Mourinho's post-match comments...

"The first half was good until we scored. There was good dynamism and intensity, with 10 players forming a block at the edge of the penalty area, but there was a lot of movement on the wings. We worked hard to get into the penalty area and scored a great goal. Then, due to our mistake, we entered a period where we should have continued in the same vein, but we lacked the determination and instinct that Benfica should have had. Then we improved again in the second half, made it 2-0, and the game was over. Then I will comment on the referee and VAR's performance, then we will have to analyze what happened yesterday and a week ago, and I don't want to get into that."

"It's really strange. It's hard to understand the referee's decision, but it's even harder to understand why VAR didn't intervene in such an obvious situation. This is one of the best examples given by UEFA, FIFA, and the leagues at the start of the season. I want to be soft and balanced, I want to say that the referee and VAR were wrong. But no, when the referee makes a wrong call, VAR helps... So why didn't it help? I can't answer for what happened yesterday or last week either. In some parts of the match, Benfica players should show more determination and character. It's hard to explain this issue without going down paths I can't take without the risk of being penalized later."

This was the message I gave you in more detail. There is a lot of anger and something from the past; the players are carrying this negativity that they cannot explain but feel. On the other hand, as I said at halftime, these teams are looking for a miracle, waiting until the very end to see if something will happen. Enzo had to leave the field to vomit during halftime, I think due to illness, and by bringing Prestianni into the game, I signaled that we wanted to end the match sooner. The referee and VAR decided to restart the match. The second goal we conceded was our fault. Our mistake, the referee's mistake, VAR's mistake... I'm being polite when I say ‘mistake.’"
