Valencia boss Emery labels Mourinho as a ‘crybaby’

(GSM) – Valencia boss Unai Emery has branded Jose Mourinho a ‘crybaby’ following the Portuguese coach’s criticism of the match referee after Real Madrid’s narrow 1-0 home win over Sevilla on Sunday.

The former Internazionale and Chelsea boss caused a stir when he waved a piece of paper listing 13 supposed errors by Carlos Clos Gomez at Sunday’s post-match news conference.

“Mourinho’s stance is that of a crybaby,” Emery told reporters.

“We have reasons to draw up a list with errors and to make a public complaint for every time we have been adversely affected, but we don’t.”

Mourinho complained that the club needed to back him more by speaking out against perceived refereeing injustices.

“My team needs to be defended,” he said. “If I say what I think I will be on the front pages and suspended. There is a club and a structure and I want them to defend my team from there.”

After the match, the Sevilla president, José María del Nido, said: “The pressure they [Real] put on the referee can be seen by the whole of Spain. It is a pre-meditated, coached and designed tactic but we already know what it is to play at the Bernabéu.”

Real Madrid’s win keeps them two points behind the leaders Barcelona after 16 matches.
