Real Madrid manager and self proclaimed "The Special One" did not feel so special after he was sent off to the stands during Real Madrid's Copa Del Rey match against Murcia. The men in white did win the match 5-1 but it was a very dirty match played by Mourinho's men. Six different players were shown yellow cards and both Alvaro Arbeloa and Jose Mourinho were sent off, while just one Murcia player was booked the whole match.
After the match, Mourinho spoke to the press about the ref.
"I cannot say he was a bad referee. I would make a terrible referee. All that matters is that we won. It was a good match. Murcianos can be pleased with their team’s performance. They put Real Madrid in a bind. Madridistas can also be happy because they got over the Alcorcon and Real Union debacles. Now we must wait and see who we draw in the next round."
He later added on the ref by his booking-per-game stats.
"Just look at this referee’s statistics. It is in his nature. I’m not saying he is good or bad. I am not one to judge him, but I do usually analyze referee statistics. This one has officiated about 50 matches in Primera and has shown more than 250 yellow cards; an average of more than six per match. He booked ten players in his last match. I knew once I was sent off that I couldn’t stay where I was, so I looked for the best vantage point and didn’t have a problem. I spoke to the players during halftime and then gave a few orders in the second half."
