Mourinho's life in Turkey is still controversial

VIỆT HÙNG |

Shocking statements and actions are Jose Mourinho's trademark and that has not changed when he works in Turkey.

When you sweep a sticker and throw it into the gas tank, or pour the whole Mentos bag into the CocaCola bottle, what comes to mind is a huge explosion. Those actions do not bring good results, but they still attract people to stick to them and cannot leave. Mourinho's story at Fernebahce is similar.

When he first set foot in Turkey to continue his coaching career, Jose Mourinho said he wanted to improve the quality of the country's national championship. The Super Lig was once considered the most unstable tournament in the world because of the often-affected troubles outside of football.

In addition to its ancient culture and thousands of mysteries that attract tourists, the city of Istanbul is now receiving more attention because "Special" Jose Mourinho is living there, accompanied by controversy from week to week.

According to Opta's Power, Turkey's Super Lig is ranked 18th in the world in terms of quality. It is even behind the Second Division of England and Germany. However, that does not mean that Mourinho cannot leave strong impressions that everyone must mention.

Always like that, Mourinho is always surprisingly "gentle" when joining a club. After that, when he adapted, he still had every weakness and caused many places where he joined the army to fall into misery. Mourinho took a laptop to block in front of the TV camera camera camera, then re-aired a slow-motion footage to protest Fernebahce's goal not being recognized.

Once, Special One did not attend the post-match press conference because they had to wait for their turn, when colleague Okan Buruk ( Galatasaray) took nearly 1 hour to answer the media. Still used to criticizing referees, the Portuguese coach once posted a statement stating that he was very skeptical about the innocence of the "Black shirt Kings" in the Turkish tournament.

Mourinho has always been like that, he can be like a burning animal plunging into the fires that explode from the matches. Sometimes, he was no different from a langur that was angry and wanted to destroy everything. Those who have followed Mourinho directly on the Turkish tour have a great chance of catching a crazy moment from the 62-year-old. Combined with the enthusiasm in the stands every time he plays at home, Mourinho's excitement has increased and uncontrolled actions can come at any time.

This week, the former Man United captain was banned for 4 matches and fined 35,000 pounds for his uncontrolled statements after a 0-0 draw with Galatasaray. It was a fiery capital Derby, with more collisions than beautiful plays.

Mourinho's post-match statements were taken by Galatasaray as discriminatory. A statement from the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) accused captain Fernebahce of making distorted statements. TFF accused Mourinho of making a statement when saying that the country's football scene was in chaos, insulting both the scene and domestic referees.

The source of the incident came from Mourinho's statement after the match against Galatasaray. The "special" described the opponent's bench as no different from a group of monkeys dancing to ask the referee to show a yellow card to defender Yusuf Akcicek. When the match ended, Mourinho went to the referee's room and told the fourth referee, "If you were the referee, this match would be a disaster."

"If the match is ruled by a Turkish referee, you will get a yellow card after just a few minutes, at most 5 minutes. If I have the right, I will take him off the field immediately. Luckily in this match, I had a perfect experience with him" - Mourinho said.

Faced with this incident, Fernebahce could only do everything possible to calm the situation. In a statement on his official website, Fernebahce said that Jose Mourinho had filed a lawsuit for honor damages after he claimed he had been personally attacked by Galatasaray. The amount of compensation demanded by Mourinho is about 41,500 pounds.
