Roma coach Mourinho takes aim at ex-Juventus midfielder Mauro: Where is he? We need respect!

Roma coach Jose Mourinho took aim at former Juventus midfielder and pundit Massimo Mauro after last night's Coppa Italia win.

The Giallorossi managed to see Cremonese off 2-1 on Wednesday, with Paulo Dybala's late penalty proving the winner.

Mourinho, unhappy with Mauro's past punditry, later said: "Is Massimo Mauro over there? No? Pfft. We need respect for our difficulties, I think that no team in Italy has won a match without a single central defender, maybe yes but it's difficult.

"We are all united and always give our best."

Then he added: "For a former footballer not to respect people who ate from the same plate, like us, is not a good thing. There are commentators and commentators, those who understand respect those who eat from the same plate as you. In fact, it seems to me that he still eats there... He will also come for money, as well as for his beautiful face."
