Following Fenerbahce’s 2-1 win on Sunday, manager Mourinho launched into an extraordinary rant against Super Lig referees and the division itself. He also asked Turkish media: “What are people afraid of in this country? »
He told reporters: “We played well. We dominated the match. We have created clear positions. We couldn’t pass the ball in positions we called half chances. Their goalkeeper was great. We lost the ball in the goals we missed. It’s strange that this match ended 2-1. This match could have ended in 6-7-8. I’m happy with the match, but not because of the chances we missed.
Mourinho accuses
“My players did their best. We worked hard for 9 days. We won a clear victory. If the opponent’s colors had been different, they could have been reduced to 8 players. We know the “toxic” championship in which we play. They know how to play against us, how to play against the opponent. There should have been 5 reds in Eyüp and this match. This is the situation. Our players and our opponents know it. We must continue on our way.
“Why are you (Turkish media) hiding the truth? What are people afraid of in this country? What are you afraid of? I know you’re a journalist, I could be too, okay, but what are you afraid of? Is the difference in points due to the football played? Tell the truth. Don’t ask me!’ »
