Fenerbahce’s coach, Jose Mourinho, expressed his frustration after their 3-2 win against Trabzonspor in the Super Lig on Sunday.
In a statement to the press, Mourinho criticized the VAR for not properly officiating and accused them of being more focused on drinking tea.
The Portuguese manager also admitted he would not have accepted the Fenerbahce job if he had known the true state of refereeing in Turkey.
Despite Trabzonspor being awarded two penalties in the second half with the help of VAR, Fenerbahce secured the victory with a goal from Sofyan Amrabat in stoppage time.
“I blame the Fenerbahce people that brought me here,” Mourinho told beIN Sports Turkiye.
“They told me only half of the truth.
“They didn’t tell me the whole truth because if they told me the whole truth, I wouldn’t come. But, with half of the truth and my boys, we fight opponents and the system.”
Mourinho also called for referee Atilla Karaoglan not to be involved in officiating another Fenerbahce game.
“The referee was just a little boy that was there on the pitch, but the referee was Atilla Karaoglan, so man of the match,” he said.
“He goes from the invisible man to the most important man in the match.
