Fenerbahçe defeated RAMS Başakşehir 3-1 in the 16th week of the Süper Lig. Commenting on the match, Sergen Yalçın made striking statements regarding Jose Mourinho's interventions during the game. "I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH ABSURD CHANGES"Criticizing the substitutions made, Sergen said, "Irfan Can played well in the first half, holding the ball and engaging in duels. Fenerbahçe were good in terms of running and fighting in the first half. Only 7-8 minutes have passed since the second half started. Why the Irfan Can-Tadic move? If it were 1-1, I would understand; if you were losing, I would still understand if the player was playing poorly. You are leading 1-0, the opponent is down to 10 men, and you are forcing Maximin to come in from injury... Why the Irfan Can-Tadic substitution, for example? I have never seen such an absurd substitution. Never! If you are going to take him out at halftime, then do it. My least favorite thing, which I do very rarely, is that they substitute a player at 45, not at 48. If you are going to take a player out at 48, take him out at halftime. Take out the player you are going to substitute at 52 at halftime. Why are you making him play for another 6-7 minutes? Did you see the expression on Irfan Can Kahveci's face? How was it? What was the Osayi-Mert substitution about, for example? I didn't understand that at all; what was the point? You are using up three player substitutions around the 65th minute, playing for half an hour without the right to substitute. One of your players gets injured. Başakşehir missed a 100% chance; if they had scored that goal, the match might have ended 2-2. How would you explain that to people afterward? Does such an experienced coach make such mistakes? How would you explain that to people afterward? Does such an experienced coach make such mistakes?" he said.
