SCANDAL! Mourinho BLASTS Turkish league AGAIN in spectacular rant | OneFootball

Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho has once again taken aim at refereeing standards in Turkey, claiming the game in the country is “toxic”.

Mourinho has been critical of the Turkish game since his move to Fenerbahce and after his side’s 2-1 win over Hatayspor, again took a swipe at officiating in the country.

“I don’t speak Turkish but sometimes I learn words by repetition, I listen so many times to certain words and I learn them by repetition,” he said.

“Yesterday, everybody was saying the same thing. Scandal, scandal, scandal. I learn a new word. Scandal, scandal, scandal.

“But I think some of you like it. In this country, many people like it. Even the winners like it which is the worst thing of all because to win at any cost and to win in this way is the worst thing.”

Mourinho previously said he would not have taken the Fenerbahce job had he known the “whole truth” about the Turkish league after criticising the refereeing in his side’s 3-2 win over Trabonzspor earlier this season.

And the former Chelsea, Man Utd and Real Madrid boss says he has “never seen anything like” Turkish football.

“The opposition know how they can play against us and they know how they cannot play against other teams,” he claimed.

“In the last two matches, we are speaking about five red cards. Five red cards for our opponents. Two in Eyup and three today. The opposition knows. They know how they can play against us. They know how they cannot play in other matches and our players feel it, obviously they feel it.

“In terms of the trust and the feeling of something that is toxic, we feel. Obviously we feel it and I think also the opposition feels.

“After 25 years as a coach and 35 in football, ten as an assistant, I never saw anything similar to this. It has a dimension that goes above anything that can be understandable and I don’t think this is a situation that a single club fighting, is going to destroy a system that is very strong and that is in place.

“This is my league because it is the league where I work. It’s going to be my league hopefully for two years minimum. But this is your league. This is the league of every kid that loves football, every kid that dreams to be a football player, every kid that loves his club.

“This is your league and if you are happy with this status quo then be happy.

“I don’t think it’s something that a club individually can resolve and I don’t think it’s with a divisive attitude that you are going to have a strong club ready to fight such a difficult situation.

“The thing that hurts me the most is when my players are touched. My players were touched in a very negative way.”
