Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has launched a scathing attack on the Turkish Super Lig following his team\u2019s 3-2 away win at Trabzonspor on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mourinho appeared to be in a good mood in the 102nd minute when Manchester United loanee Sofyan Amrabat scored a dramatic late winner for his side.<\/p>\n
Ex-United midfielder Fred had earlier opened the scoring before two penalty kicks from Simon Banza turned the game in the home team\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n
But Edin Dzeko equalised in the 75th minute before Amrabat won it at the death, sparking wild celebrations which saw Mourinho attempt a knee-slide, only to fall flat on his face.<\/p>\n
However, Mourinho\u2019s joy was long gone by the time he sat down for a post-game press conference in Trabzon.<\/p>\n
Mourinho did not hold back as he boldly stated: \u201cNobody abroad wants to watch the Turkish league,\u201d as per msn.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho wants to watch this Turkish league abroad? They have the Premier League, they have the French League, they have the German League, they have the Portuguese League, they have the Dutch League. Why should they see this?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s too grey. It\u2019s too dark, and smells bad. But that\u2019s my job, and I will give everything to my job, to my club.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mourinho then hit out at the performance of Sunday\u2019s match officials, specifically Atilla Karaoglan, who worked on the game as the VAR.<\/p>\n
After seeing his side concede two penalties, Mourinho was furious when Karaoglan did not intervene to award Fenerbahce a spot-kick in the 82nd minute after the ball struck the arm of Banza inside the 18-yard box.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to post on my Instagram. I don\u2019t have many [followers] but I think more than five million will watch more of that penalty. So they will know what the Turkish league is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mourinho did indeed upload footage of Banza\u2019s alleged handball and the video received more than 650,000 likes on Instagram in less than 17 hours.<\/p>\n
Alongside multiple replays, Mourinho wrote: \u201cWatch and smile. If you like it watch the game because the funny situations don\u2019t stop with this clip.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
