Mourinho blasts ‘shameless’ timing of Vinicius ban decision
The Real Madrid manager criticised the four-match ban announcement, which disrupted preparations just hours before their Champions League match.
Jose Mourinho expressed his disapproval over the timing of the decision to ban Real Madrid's star winger Vinicius Junior for four matches. The announcement was made just hours before the team's Champions League match against Roma, causing significant disruption to their preparations. Mourinho criticized the Spanish football authorities for their "shameless" action, stating it lacked respect and consideration for the squad.
The ban comes after Vinicius was sent off during a LaLiga match against Villarreal for pulling an opponent's hair. Real Madrid's upcoming fixtures include matches against AEK Athens and Valencia, adding to the challenges posed by the ban. Mourinho highlighted the logistical nightmare caused by the ban, as the team would travel to Athens on Wednesday night, arriving in Madrid around 5 am before facing Valencia on a weekend that coincides with national team matches.
