  "account": "Jose Mourinho abruptly cancelled his press conference following Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Portuguese manager decided against speaking to journalists due to his frustration with the refereeing, fearing a potential suspension before the upcoming Clasico against Barcelona. Mourinho expressed his desire to be present for Madrid’s matches against Sevilla and Barcelona, highlighting his concern about attracting disciplinary punishment. Vinicius Jr. received a red card minutes after coming on, forcing Madrid to play with 10 men against 11, intensifying Mourinho’s frustration. His decision to avoid the press conference echoes his past confrontational relationship with the media, which previously generated controversy.
