In the 34th week of the Trendyol Super League, Fenerbahçe was defeated 1-0 by Beşiktaş, whom they hosted at home. Following the match, football commentator Rıdvan Dilmen made evaluations on the program %100 Futbol, broadcast on HT Spor.
Criticizing Jose Mourinho's statements at the press conference, Rıdvan Dilmen said the following:
"The Beşiktaş manager brought on his player who had been injured for a long time and stretched his team. They defended very well, too. I should also make a special mention of Mert. Because he is cool-headed, he is very good in these matches. They truly won the match. The left wing was Beşiktaş's U17. Emre Can and Mustafa. If Fenerbahçe had won the match 2-0, would it have been asked if these kids should be played? Last week, the match was broken open at 3-1 or 4-1. Gedson was in the game, on the verge of a card. He didn't say let me take him out. The manager is saying my main planning is for next year.
On the other side, especially after today's match, Jose Mourinho is sending this message to Europe: He says that second place here is already equivalent to a championship. Of course, Fenerbahçe has been subjected to injustices during the periods they couldn't become champions, but this won't do. If I were Mourinho, I would be hesitant to speak.
Don't the fans see it? Why aren't the Fenerbahçe fans shouting for the TFF and MHK to resign there? Because Fenerbahçe has moved past that. These have lost their credibility. What Jose Mourinho said after the match is wrong. Today, he cut it short again, saying, "Something like this is already being played here." He used the same sentences after the first half of the season when he lost to Beşiktaş.
Now 90 points are enough for Galatasaray. If I were at the press conference, I would ask, "Mr. Mourinho, do you think this system will continue like this next year?" He speaks as if nothing is caused by him.
The management shouldn't just fight with the fans. It's not about saying 'Would I quit just because one fan wanted it?', but what he needs to do now is focus on how we can recover for next season. It is time to face the facts. There is time for restructuring. Second place is already guaranteed anyway. We are playing in such a league. You will already be second in a league like this. You should concentrate on your job."
