🚨Valencia Head Coach Javier Aguirre on what José Mourinho said to him after Valencia’s 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid: 🗣️ Javier Aguirre: “I was walking toward the tunnel when José came toward me. “I didn’t want to speak to him. I was angry, frustrated, and honestly, I wanted to get away from the pitch. “But José stopped me. “He looked at me and said, ‘Javier, don’t start.’ “I said, ‘Don’t start what? Telling you what I saw?’ “He said, ‘You lost 3-0. Don’t make the referee your excuse.’ “That made me angry. “I told him, ‘Excuse? Your players were making the same challenges and walking away without cards. Mine make one and suddenly we are playing with ten.’ “José laughed. “Not a friendly laugh. That Mourinho laugh. “He said, ‘You are angry because you couldn’t control the game.’ “I told him, ‘No, I’m angry because I watched the game being controlled for you.’ “He stepped closer and said, ‘Be careful, Javier. You’re making accusations because you don’t like the result.’ “I said, ‘And you’re defending the referee because you like the result.’ “He went quiet for a second. “Then he said, ‘If you think the referee cheated you, go and complain tomorrow. Tonight, look at your team.’ “That really got me. “I told him, ‘My team looked at the referee more than they looked at Madrid because every decision was becoming a problem.’ “José said, ‘That is your problem. You allowed the referee to become part of the match.’ “I said, ‘No, José. The referee became part of the match because he wanted to.’ “He shook his head. “Then he said, ‘Javier, you are better than this. Don’t turn a football match into a conspiracy.’ “I told him, ‘Easy for you to say when every important decision went your way.’ “He replied, ‘Important decisions? We scored three goals.’ “I said, ‘And we lost our captain to a red card.’ “José immediately said, ‘Because your captain made a mistake.’ “I told him, ‘And your players didn’t?’ “He smiled again. “Then he said, ‘Maybe they made mistakes. But my players were smarter.’ “That sentence really annoyed me. “I said, ‘Smarter? Or protected?’ “He looked at me and said, ‘You really want to continue this?’ “I said, ‘Yes. Because I want to know why Gayà gets sent off while Madrid players can go through challenges and nothing happens.’ “José said, ‘Because football is not played with your emotions, Javier.’ “I told him, ‘And it shouldn’t be played with different rules either.’ “He walked past me, then turned around. “He said, ‘You know what separates big teams from small teams? Big teams don’t spend the night crying about decisions.’ “I couldn’t believe he said that. “I told him, ‘Don’t confuse losing with being cheated.’ “He stopped. “Then he said, ‘If you truly believe you were cheated, prove it with football next time.’ “I told him, ‘We will.’ “He smiled and said, ‘Good. Then stop talking about the referee.’ “I walked away. “I didn’t shake his hand. “Not because I don’t respect José Mourinho. “Because at that moment, I was too angry to pretend everything was fine. “And maybe he enjoyed that. “Because José Mourinho loves these moments. “He wins, he sees the opponent angry, and he knows exactly which words will make them even angrier. “Tonight, he got his three points. “But I still believe Valencia deserved better than what happened on that pitch.”
