Jose Mourinho: Charges for racism – Galatasaray did not know my African relationships | Football news
Jose Mourinho spoke for the first time, exclusively Sky Sports News, about the claim of racism made against him.
Despite Furori, he says he felt calm and relaxed all the time because he felt the claim, which was made by Galatasaray after the Istanbul derby with his Fenerbahce side, he replied.
“They were not smart in the way they attacked me, because they didn’t know my past,” he says.
“They didn’t know my relationships with Africa, African people and African players and African charity organizations.
“So, instead of going against me, I think it’s Bumran and went against them.
“Everyone knows who I am as a person. Everyone knows my bad traits, but it’s not one of my bad qualities. Just the opposite!
“The most important thing is that I know who I am, and the attack that accuses racism was a bad choice.”
He says of the indictment, “I just felt: How could they go so low?”
At a press conference, Mourinho accused the Galatasaray bench last Monday after drawing a “jumping like a monkey” to try and get his 19-year-old central defender Yusuf Akcicek, who sent early in the game.
He meant the main coach of Okan Buruk.
I wonder if, back, Mourinho regrets the words he used. Was the choice of words clumsy?
Mourinho stopped and thought for a moment. He then shook his head because he thought Buruk’s touch line was difficult to take.
“I can’t fall to his level,” he says.
“Sometimes I do it and ask myself,” Why did you do that Jose? Why did you fall to that level? “
He thinks a little more. Then he adds, “It was only sad.”
He is grateful for the support he had from people he knows and people who does not do.
“Probably even from people who don’t love me, there was support there,” he says.
“I thank the people who had no problem talking [out]Especially my boys, my former players. They were a very important voice. “
This means, of course, the winners of Chelsea’s title Didier Drogba and Michael Essien, who embarked on social media to support their former manager.
As a result, some Galatasaray fans went out to the streets to burn drug shirts. He played 53 times for the club.
On the topic of the shirt, Mourinho has a view of why his ban on four games is so quickly reduced to two matches.
Social media reproduced their role.
“On my day [four-match] The ban is decided to publicly appear the eyes that the head of the disciplinary committee celebrates among friends from the Galatasaray T -shirt, “he says.
“You can only understand his dimension here.”
Sky Sports News He contacted the Turkish Football Federation for comment.
This is how Mourinho’s domestic ban is served. It can return to a domestic excavation.
It will always be in the technical area in Europe.
If Fenerbahce progresses from the Europa League last 16 by beating Rangers, this could be turned into a tour of Jose Mourinho Revenge.
Roma in the quarterfinals, maybe. Manchester United in the semifinals, maybe. Spurs in the finals, maybe.
Mourinho, however, does not think that way.
“I never feel revenge in my mind. I never have that feeling because when I leave the club, I prefer to remember my good times at the club,” he adds.
One of these clubs is of course Manchester United.
So what does Mourinho do from the gathering at Old Trafford?
At Ruben Amorim, to whom he helped teach as a young coach, he says they have not talked since he took United, except for Christmas greetings.
But he doesn’t enjoy watching him fight.
“He’s a good child. He’s always very respectful to me. We had a good relationship for a few years. He knows I wish him well.”
And on the cheese of Jim Ratcliffe and those job losses?
“To be honest, I don’t know much about what’s going on,” he says.
“I know Sir Jim Ratcliffe. I’m not saying we’re great friends, but we have a good relationship. I know him well. He invited me several times to my house. I see him as a good person and a great businessman.
“Of course, I feel some of the people I know [losing their jobs]But we hope to go in the right direction. “
