July 9, 2020 - Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has been left perplexed by his team's high yellow card count, with the Serie A side receiving 90 bookings in 31 matches this season.
Mihajlovic, who was sent off during Bologna's 2-1 home defeat to Sassuolo in Serie A on Wednesday, made the comments after his team's 2-1 win at Inter Milan on Sunday.
'I was sent off because I had a few choice words for the referee: we're the team that has received the most bookings and it's just perplexing,' Mihajlovic said.
'You'd think we have 11 assassins on the pitch, but they're all young lads. It's probably easier to book our players than those belonging to other teams.'
Mihajlovic also took aim at broadcaster Sky Italia, accusing them of biased analysis during Bologna's win at Inter Milan.
'I sat there for half an hour and they didn't say a single word about Bologna, it seemed like they were working for Inter Channel,' he said.
'It's a disgrace, they couldn't find a single compliment for Bologna.'
