Manu Carreño, host of the El Larguero program on Cadena SER, stated on air that Mourinho has always believed referees are biased against the teams he manages—a sentiment that has persisted throughout his coaching career. Therefore, there is nothing surprising about his current behavior at Real Madrid.

After Real Madrid's match against Villarreal at the Bernabéu, Mourinho once again displayed his combative nature and aggressive personality. Fifteen years later, the Portuguese coach showed signs of his old style by deciding not to attend the post-match press conference. Real Madrid explained that the club felt aggrieved by the referee's decisions and Vinicius Jr.'s red card, so they asked Mourinho to skip the conference to prevent him from being sanctioned for his comments to the media.

During the program, Carreño connected Mourinho's recent actions to his long history of criticizing referees across the many countries where he has coached. From England to Turkey, and even the previous season's clashes between Benfica and Real Madrid, Carreño believes that criticizing referees has been a consistent pattern throughout Mourinho's coaching career.

Regarding the controversies surrounding referees and team performance, Carreño said: "There's a risk in all of this... or perhaps, this could even be their aim, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not: people end up talking more about these controversies and less about the team's performance. I think both aspects should be discussed: Real Madrid's current situation regarding refereeing issues, the conflict between the two sides that has gone on for a long time... and there's also the Negreira case as a backdrop; these issues cannot be separated from the Negreira case. Of course, they also cannot be separated from Mourinho.

Mourinho has always felt that referees are targeting his team, but not just Real Madrid; it was Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan... it's always been this way when he manages teams. In other words, he doesn't just feel referees are targeting Real Madrid. Who doesn't remember what happened when he managed Chelsea? In the Premier League, when Mourinho left Chelsea and moved to Manchester United, the referees suddenly said: 'No, no, we're no longer targeting Mourinho's Chelsea. Now we're targeting Mourinho's Manchester United.'

Then he managed Roma, Fenerbahçe, and later Benfica... Just a few months ago, Real Madrid and Benfica faced each other in the Champions League knockout round. After the first leg, Mourinho spoke about referees like this."

Carreño then quoted Mourinho's statement from that time. Mourinho said: "I was sent off because I stated something obvious. The referee had a piece of paper with the names Tchouaméni, Carreras, and Huijsen—players who were not allowed to receive a yellow card. I simply told the referee this, and he knows very well who he can and cannot show a yellow card to."

Carreño concluded: "So we shouldn't be surprised by Mourinho's statements, because he doesn't just do this at Real Madrid. His return to La Liga makes such behavior seem more concerning to us, but this has always been his typical style throughout his coaching career."
