“Retaliation is now allowed” – Mourinho criticizes FA on Costa’s ban


Mourinho-Walsall Sept2015Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, has hit back at the Football Association, for overturning Gabriel Paulista’s red card and banning Diego Costa for three games.
Both players were involved in an altercation, as the Blues beat Arsenal 2-0 on Saturday and Gabriel was sent off, while Costa only got a yellow card during the game.
Mourinho insists that the FA’s decision to reverse Gabriel’s sending off, means they are now allowing retaliation in the Premier League.
After beating Walsall 4-1 in the Capital One Cup, he told reporters: “We know something which is that retaliation is allowed now. You can do it.
“You cannot compare a leg almost broken with men’s discussion, you cannot compare that with a leg almost broken. That’s what it was, a men’s discussion.
“I don’t comment [any further] because if I bring examples and go deep and bring feelings into the discussion a big suspension for me will be waiting and I don’t want that. The team doesn’t need that.
“We lost an important player for three match and don’t need to lose their manager. So I prefer to keep calm and quiet.”
