Not directly questioned about OL or Pierre Sage, José Mourinho still gave his opinion on Simone Soza, the referee of Thursday's match.
To get José's opinion Mourinho regarding the poor dynamics of theOLit will be necessary to iron. During the pre-match conference, the coach of Fenerbache neither spoke about the Rhone club, nor about Pierre Sage. This is explained because none of the questions from Turkish journalists were directly linked to the Lyon team, which he faces in the Europa League. However, the Portuguese coach did not escape a question concerning Simone Sozzathe official for Thursday's meeting (6:45 p.m.).
“The referee is there to help have a great match”
A subject to which the “Special One” does not attach much importance, despite the controversies surrounding the referee from Italy. “I don't think about it (on the fact that he is Italian and that this poses a problem after his time at Roma). I think they come to do their job as best they can. Sozza is one of the new, young and promising Italian referees. I don't think he's in love with me, but I think he's coming to do a good job. And he's very good, he can do a good job. This would mean that at the end of the match, no one remembers him, because it will be played between Fenerbahçe and Lyon. The referee is just there to help live a big poster. I have complete confidence in its potential.”declared the Portuguese technician calmly.
