Roma boss Jose Mourinho refuses to comment on Afena-Gyan's red card against Spezia

Published on: 14 December 2021

AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has refused to comment on Felix Afena-Gyan's red card against Spezia in the Italian Serie A on Monday.

Substitute Afena-Gyan received his first yellow card in the 70th minute and again got into the referee's book in the 90th minute.

Chris Smalling headed Roma ahead when he converted after Tammy Abraham's earlier header following a corner before Roger Ibanez added a second goal after 10 minutes of the second half.

"I prefer not to speak about the referee. In my opinion he did okay. I did not see either of the two incidents that led him to book Felix and I would rather not say anything," Roma manager Mourinho said after the game.

"But, that being said, we seem to continue to have this incredible record of picking up yellow cards. Even the yellow cards before, to Vina and Kumbulla ... it's too much.

"We are a bit of a naive team, we are certainly not aggressive, and yet we still have this tally of yellow cards."
