The match played between Super Lig giants Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe, which the yellow-navy team won with a goal scored in the 90+12th minute, was marked by Jose Mourinho. A piece was published in England containing shocking statements regarding the comments made by the Portuguese coach after the match. In an article published today by Simon Jordan from Daily Mail, harsh words were used for Jose Mourinho. Here is Jordan's article; "A SAD SITUATION""I became a fan of Jose Mourinho and still want to be. I want to see that charismatic manager who once attracted so much attention for the right reasons. I do not like Mourinho, who creates noise only with controversies rather than his achievements. It is a sad situation that a once-star coach has turned from a mysterious, unique individual into someone who harshly criticizes everything and everyone." "TARGETING ATİLLA KARAOĞLAN""This week's latest targets are VAR official Atilla Karaoğlan and the 61-year-old Fenerbahçe executive, as both have become the 'bad-smelling' face of Turkish football. It resembles the harassment of English referee Anthony Taylor and his family at Budapest airport after Mourinho's defeat in the Europa League final last year. Even for someone like Mourinho, who likes his managers to be a bit tough and put people in their place, you cannot excuse such bad behavior. And unfortunately, while I wish to see the old Jose emerge again, I don't think we can do that." "FENERBAHÇE, NO OFFENSE BUT""I am not an expert on the standards of Turkish official authorities, but considering Mourinho's past, perhaps the real disappointment he feels is the decline of his own career. No offense to Fenerbahçe, but you are not coming here because you are a winner, an elite manager." "NARCISSISTIC, DARK, AND DESTRUCTIVE"This man has won major trophies with Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Manchester United. He is not on the rise right now. The attention he receives comes from what he has achieved in the past. There is very little he is doing right now. I have always been his supporter and defender. He was a breath of fresh air, or so it seemed. He has always had a narcissistic, dark, and destructive streak, but now it is more prevalent and offers no solutions." "DISRESPECT TO THE COUNTRY HE WORKS IN""His outburst about the 'system' after the match where they beat Trabzonspor 3-2 - he was angry because two penalties were awarded - is ultimately a disrespect to the people he manages and the country he works in." "IF REFEREES RESPONDED TO JOSE""Referees should not be blamed, but there is a way to express yourself. They are easy targets. Imagine if they responded to Jose; someone who is rude, unpleasant, and tries to bully people into his way of thinking." "A NOISY EMPTY VESSEL""I will say this again: Jose's presence in football over the last 20 years has been fundamentally developmental and enlightening. However, there comes a point where you have to say this is a diminishing power. A noisy empty vessel. Or too much noise that is becoming an empty vessel. The football economy gives its major participants the freedom of expression without fear of the consequences. Yet Jose is neither a club owner nor in a position where he has influence or authority over anyone other than players. Therefore, when he steps outside this area to target the structure he works in, I don't know what that means." "THEY ARE 5 POINTS BEHIND LEADER GALATASARAY""Making the observation that he is the only son of someone watching Turkish football in London, what does it say about him going to coach in Istanbul? Perhaps he feels he needs to make such noise to make himself significant in the relatively stagnant waters of local football. You once brought Jose Mourinho, and you won something. Fenerbahçe has finished second in the league six times since their last Turkish championship in 2014. Where are they now? They are in third place, five points behind leader Galatasaray." "SITTING IN HIS PERSONAL BERMUDA TRIANGLE""I am sure he desperately wants to return to England - and perhaps this 'anger' is part of an escape plan - but it is hard to show a justification for that. If you are a club in the top six, you no longer take Jose Mourinho. If you are a mid-level club, you are inviting trouble because he is a coach who says 'give me what I want, whenever I want it,' which you cannot do financially. And if you are at the bottom, Mourinho is not going there. He is currently sitting in his personal Bermuda Triangle!" "GETTING WORSE""Everton is an interesting idea considering the club's potential to become a real force again with a new stadium and new owners. But even though I know football is a strange business, why would potential new buyer Daniel Friedkin re-employ Jose, who he sacked at Roma? Sometimes you don’t want complete harmony in a club because you need people who will work in that club, but often you also need some kind of stability, and I am not sure Jose is getting better. In fact, it is getting worse. He was at Roma for two and a half years until he was sacked in January. It was a job full of challenges, but even taking that into account, Mourinho caused equal measures of division and conflict." "MORE CONCERNED WITH NOISE THAN SUCCESS""If you are going to bring in an effective manager, which Mourinho tends to be, you need to assess what that impact will be. To put Mourinho's recent words another way, today's Mourinho seems to care more about noise than success and leaves a bad smell."
