Jose Mourinho made the news once again as he forced his team, Roma, to play with 10 men during a pre-season friendly match against Partizani Tirana. Mourinho, in the 79th minute, withdrew Houssem Aouar from the pitch without naming a replacement for him thus leaving Roma to play with only 10 men for the remainder of the match. The midfielder was confused by Mourinho's decision. However, a report in Corriere dello Sport stated that the Portuguese coach did this for two reasons--to protect his new signing ahead of the season. Second, he did this to ensure both teams had 10 players on the pitch. Earlier, Partizani Tirana were reduced to 10 men after the coaching team had mistakenly attempted to substitute a player for one who had already been subbed off.
