Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho spoke after the match in which they defeated Trabzonspor 4-1.
Mourinho's statements are as follows:
"We played a good game in the first half as well. Trabzonspor is an organized team, they have a good manager. The first half was balanced. We should have been 1-0 up in the first half; the referee didn't see the position that is a penalty anywhere in the world, and VAR didn't call him over. The referee didn't see a position that is a penalty in China, in Australia, anywhere in the world!"
"In the Bodrum and Galatasaray matches, VAR called the referee over, but by not calling him in this match, it changed the reality of the game."
"THE RESULT OF THE GALATASARAY MATCH..."
"We played well as a team again in the second half, and Talisca ensured we won the match with his beautiful goals."
"The result of the Galatasaray match had no effect. If it did, it was a positive effect."
