The lawyer: “This is an opportunity to clarify that it was a misunderstanding”
“It will be an opportunity to clarify - explains the lawyer Gabriele Bordoni, who defends the Turin referee – that it was a misunderstanding, in the din of the stadium, dictated by a situation of general nervousness and that Serra's movements were also misunderstood".
"He didn't say anything bad and he didn't turn towards the coach, because he had to look at the pitch. His behaviour wasn't rude: he had his hands in his pockets as he had all evening, because it was a cold evening, not as a provocative gesture".
“We understand that Mourinho, a coach of great experience and prestige, may have felt undervalued in that context by a referee assistant who was many years younger than him, but we believe that the affair can and must be resolved, reconstructing the facts with the right precision".
“The interrogation will help the Federal Prosecutor's Office decide whether to report Serra or request the case be closed, and we are counting on the second option”, concludes the lawyer.
