Despite a victory against Trabzonspor (2-3) on November 3, Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho expressed his dissatisfaction with Turkish football, prompting a sharp response from Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. The 38-year-old Uruguay international, who has made 11 league appearances this season, minced no words in publicly admonishing Mourinho for his comments.
“His insults towards Turkish football and his attacks on certain referees disturb me,” reacted Muslera, present in Turkey since 2011. “This is the first time in 14 years that I feel obliged to express myself in this way. I have won 17 trophies in 14 years. Looking at my contributions, my goal has always been to promote Turkish football. If Mourinho, who arrived here only four months ago, criticizes Turkish football and doesn’t like it, let him leave without anyone saying anything. I think it’s time we said something to him. We need to pay a little more attention to those who contribute to the advancement of Turkish football,” Muslera advised.
