Mourinho said 'like monkeys', they were taken to court!

Galatasaray reacted strongly to Fenerbahçe coach Jose Mourinho's words for the red-yellow team after the derby: "Everyone on the opposing bench was jumping like monkeys."

STATEMENT FROM GALATASARAY: NO TO RACISM!

In the statement made by Galatasaray regarding the said words, the following expressions were used;

"Fenerbahçe Technical Director Jose Mourinho, who has been regularly making derogatory remarks against the Turkish people since he started working in Turkey, has today added inhumane statements to his immoral statements. We would like to inform you that we will file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor's office and that we will also file a complaint with UEFA and FIFA due to these racist statements against Jose Mourinho. In addition to all these initiatives, we will be monitoring the attitude of our "moral symbol" rival's technical directors regarding this statement."

'MOURINHO SHOULD BE PUNISHED'

On the other hand, Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş. Vice President Abdullah Kavukçu reacted to the Portuguese coach's words targeting the red-yellows after the match. Speaking to Beyaz TV, Kavukçu said, "We will do everything necessary regarding Jose Mourinho. He has been racist, he will explain whoever he calls a monkey. It's like this is a banana republic! He talks about everything, Acun comes out and defends him. He goes to the referee's room after the match and congratulates him! Before we do, the TFF should do what is necessary regarding racism! They do everything, then they get on top of it! What would they do if we did? If the TFF does something about this, they have to punish the guy for racism anyway."

WHAT DID MOURINHO SAY?

Fenerbahçe Technical Director Jose Mourinho, after the Galatasaray match, said, "I cannot compare Yusuf Akçiçek to Raphael Varene. He is not perfect, but he will be. Varane won many trophies, he played him in the Champions League at this age. I should also thank the referee. In the position I mentioned, everyone on the opponent's bench was jumping like monkeys. If it was a Turkish referee, he would have given the card in the 1st minute and I should have taken him off in the 5th minute. It was a great match for him. Vincenzo Montella has a lot of names on his plate, but I hope he is happy with his performance. The goalkeeper is not bad either."
