Chelsea’s legendary striker Didier Drogba launched a passionate defense of his former manager Jose Mourinho after Galatasaray accused the current head of the Fenerbahce to make “racist statements” after a heated collision between the Turkish huge.
Mourinho has been his typical self since taking over the Istanbul outfit in summer. The former blues boss has a special problem with the referees of the Turkish top areas and started several rants, which finally forced the division to design in the Slovenian official Slavko Vincic for the well-expected league encounter between league-leading galatasaray and the second-placed Fenerbahce on Monday.
The referee of the Champions League final supervised a largely lukewarm 0-0 draw, but Mourinhos Possen have laid out a raging debate after the game.
It is not entirely clear which comments galatasaray have so upset. Mourinho said to his press conference after the game: “I went to the referee’s changing room after the game. The fourth official was there – a Turkish referee – I told him that if you were the referee, it would be a disaster.
“If you are [Galatasaray] Really, really good. If you are an example of “We are good, we are strong, we are the champions, we want to show how good we are” should you ask for foreign referees in every game.
“But when the referees are alien, go home against us at home, against us – a shot on the goal. But if you are good and really believe in yourself and in your power, you should ask the Federation.”
Mourinho accused the Galatasaray bank in the opening minute to jump “like monkeys” in order to appeal to a yellow card, and attributed the referee to capture his nerves.
Galatasaray was powerful with her quick responsibility. “Since the beginning of his management duties in Turkey, Fenerbahce Manager Jose Mourinho has continued to make derogatory statements on the Turkish people,” the association wrote. “Today, his discourse on only immoral comments is exceeded in clearly inhumane rhetoric.
“We hereby officially explain our intention to initiate criminal proceedings in relation to the racist statements by Jose Mourinho, and we can submit official complaints to UEFA and FIFA accordingly. In addition A reaction to the reaction to the reaction to the reaction to the reaction to the reaction of the behavior ” -. “
In another explanation published on Wednesday, the board member of Galatasaray Can Natan said that Mourinho’s statements “are not only insulting, but also illustrate a worrying pattern that exceeds the limits of racist behavior”.
Fenerbahce published a refutation: “An explanation of our technical director Jose Mourinho after the game was completely taken out of the context and attempts were made to deliberately distort it.”
“The attempt to present this statement as racist is a completely malicious approach,” concluded the club.
Drogba not only made 187 appearances for Mourinho in two spells in Chelsea, but also spent 18 successful months in Galatasaray. Despite his loyalities to the Istanbul Club, the Ivory Coast icon emphasized the Gala ore antagonist.
“Trust me when I tell you that I know Jose since XX, and he is not a racist and history (past and newer) to prove this,” the 46-year-old continued X.
“How can my ‘father’ be a racist,” concluded Drogba. “Come on people”.
