Although Moleno coach missed the Serie A match against Inter Milan due to suspension and could not attend the post-match conference, the "King of Inches" still bluntly blasted the referee's enforcement standards in an interview with the club's official website, a move that could result in a penalty from the Italian FA.
After Roma's 0-1 defeat to Inter Milan in the last round, Molenu expressed his strong dissatisfaction with referee Maliska's repeated penalties, pointing out that "the referee's yellow cards for Kianlucavinceni, Andika, Riandu Berlidis, and Bryan Rengistandi were totally selective, and shouldn't have been so at all." The Portuguese coach also questioned the unfairness of the Serie A schedule, arguing that Roma would have to face Inter Milan the day after the UEFA Cup, while their opponents would have a four-day break.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian FA are considering launching an investigation process following Molenu's comments. Once found guilty, he could face further punishment. Recalling that at the end of last season, Molenu was suspended for 10 days for criticizing the referee and missed the first two Serie A matches of the season, it seems that he has not learned his lesson from that incident.
