THERE ARE IMAGES TOO: MOURINHO WENT TO VINCIC'S ROOM AFTER THE MATCH
The Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby, which closely concerns the championship race, fell short of expectations in terms of gameplay and ended in a 0-0 draw. The performance of foreign referee Slavko Vincic, who has been debated since the first day, was also discussed, while Fenerbahçe's coach Jose Mourinho's immediate visit to Vincic's room after the match marked the derby night. Footage of those moments quickly went viral.
WHAT DID HE TALK ABOUT WITH VINCIC?
Moreover, Mourinho also mentioned this situation and explained what he talked about with Slavko Vincic. The Portuguese coach stated that he congratulated Vincic, saying, "After the match, I went to the referee's room. I told Slavko Vincic, 'Thank you for coming here and officiating this great match.'
"IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER IF A TURKISH REFEREE HAD OFFICIATED"
Mourinho also mentioned that he spoke with the fourth official Kadir Sağlam, saying, "The Turkish referee was there too. Then I turned to him and said, 'If a Turkish referee had officiated this match, it would have been a disaster.'
"THEY SHOULD WANT FOREIGN REFEREES FOR EVERY MATCH"
Jose Mourinho stated, "If Galatasaray wants to say 'We are very strong. We are a championship team' and wants to show this, they should ask for foreign referees for every match. Because we saw what happened when they had a foreign referee. They were eliminated from Europe. They had only one shot against us at their home."
"THE OPPOSING BENCH WAS JUMPING LIKE MONKEYS"
Thanking Vicic once again, Mourinho said, "Everyone on the opposing bench was jumping like monkeys. If it had been a Turkish referee, he would have given a yellow card in the first minute."
OKAN BURUK'S REACTION TO THE INCIDENT
Galatasaray's coach Okan Buruk also made a statement regarding the incident that overshadowed the match. Referring to Mourinho's discussion with the referee team after the match, Buruk said, "Mourinho entered the referee's room. His insulting remarks towards the Turkish referee were very wrong. Saying it would be like this if they officiated... This is very wrong. I can't believe they belittle Turkish referees this much; I condemn it. Even if a foreign referee comes, they manage poorly. If you put pressure on a Turkish referee, he will also officiate poorly. This pressure must be eliminated. Whoever comes to officiate any match, if they can manage it correctly, if they won't be unfair, if they will be objective, let them come. After that, everything becomes empty talk."
