Tare: ‘Roma and Mourinho must learn to accept defeat’

Lazio director Igli Tare urges Roma to put the derby loss behind them after Jose Mourinho and Tiago Pinto comments. ‘You must learn to accept defeat.’

The Aquile won 3-2 in the Serie A showdown on Sunday, but Mourinho again referenced that game after a 3-0 Europa League victory away to Zorya Luhask.

The coach insisted they had “dominated” the derby and made Lazio look “small” in comparison.

Mourinho sees ‘positive’ Roma victory

“I don’t like what Roma did in the post-match, it was a surprise to see them still talking about refereeing errors four days later when if there were any mistakes, they were damaging to Lazio,” Tare told Sky Sport Italia.

“You must learn to accept defeat and bring the best out of yourself, which is what Roma did today with their win.

“All you need to do is analyse it incident by incident to see there were no refereeing errors against Roma. If anything, they were against Lazio.

“There was a penalty not given to us, there was no reason to ask for Lucas Leiva to be sent off, and the penalty on Nicolò Zaniolo was only seen by Irrati in the VAR booth.”
