Sunday, in Rome, the 12th day of Serie A did not really keep all its promises. At the end of a disappointing meeting between Lazio and José Mourinho’s team (0-0, only 3 shots on target), neither club broke away and at the end, a draw which did not suit anyone. As is often the case in Italy, the referee was singled out, but not only that, since The Special One made a funny remark about Pedro, the Lazio Rome winger.

Indeed, after the meeting, José Mourinho did Mourinho. “Pedro is a great player, but he could have become a swimmer because he throws himself into the pool in a fantastic way”, quipped the AS Roma coach, referring to the falls of the Spanish striker, who simulates far too much according to him. A little dig sent to a player he often faced when the Portuguese tactician was on the Real Madrid bench and Pedro was still playing at FC Barcelona.
