Kenneth Perez is very disturbed by AS Roma’s behavior in the Europa League final. Jose Mourinho’s men pull out all the stops in the hope of beating Sevilla, not for the first time. Perez calls the theatrical behavior of the players and the bench of Roma ‘totally insane’ and compliments referee Anthony Taylor, who manages to keep control of the final.

With an early opening goal from Paulo Dybala, the scoring turned out favorably for Roma, which then delayed the match. Mourinho, together with his technical staff, fully encouraged his team by making a lot of commotion on the sidelines. “Is it passion that takes place in the AS Roma dugout?” Perez wonders. “Or is it total insanity? It’s just an asylum, isn’t it? It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?”

“Football is emotion and all that, I know all that, but this is no longer fun to watch? .. I personally just want to watch football and I don’t need that scene all the time.” Perez is all the more handsome that Taylor does not lose control of the final.

“He does it really fan-tas-tically. The only thing that is missing is a red card for the entire asylum there along the side. The referee had it all very well. It’s just a pity that he didn’t see that penalty moment that the ball was just touched, purely because Mourinho would soon use it if he loses: ‘The referee also wanted us to lose.'” Mourinho freaked out when Taylor pointed to the spot for Sevilla in the second half. Taylor was called aside by the VAR and saw how Roger Ibañez just touched the ball in a duel with Lucas Ocampos. The English referee then withdrew the penalty kick.
