Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho harshly criticized the VAR referee Atilla Karaoğlan following the victory against Trabzonspor. Mourinho stated, "The man of the match is Atilla Karaoğlan! We do not want Atilla Karaoğlan in our matches again. We are fighting against the system."
Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho made striking statements after their match against Trabzonspor, which they won 3-2. The Portuguese coach particularly used very notable expressions regarding the VAR referee Atilla Karaoğlan.
"MAN OF THE MATCH ATILLA KARAOĞLAN"
Jose Mourinho's statements are as follows;
"The man of the match is Atilla Karaoğlan! We do not want Atilla Karaoğlan in our matches anymore. We are fighting against the system!
"I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT, IT WAS WORSE THAN WHAT WAS SAID"
I was told something, I didn't believe it, but it was worse than what was said to me. It's hard, hard. We are playing against good opponents, but we are also playing against the system. The hardest part is this. We played against VAR, against the system. That's why we celebrated like this after winning. We won against very, very strong people. We will not give up.
"IF I KNEW, I WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO FENERBAHÇE"
I am angry with the Fenerbahçe people who brought me here; they told me half of this. If they had told me everything, I wouldn't have come to Fenerbahçe.
"ARE YOU DRINKING COFFEE?"
"This situation may change; if the system comes stronger, my words will fly away. Maybe the Fenerbahçe people are even more aware. What has been done is not hidden. Wasn't the red card given to Bright? Was Karaoğlan drinking coffee, didn't he see? The referee didn't give it, but Karaoğlan was ready to give 2 penalties. Was he drinking Turkish tea in our situation? He was sleeping during our situations. We laugh at this. If we take it seriously, it won't work. I am not Turkish; you Turks should talk about this. If I speak, my mouth will be shut, the system will attack me. You Turks should bring this up."
Mourinho applauded and concluded his remarks by saying, 'We are clean.'
