What did Jose Mourinho say after the derby? Why did Galatasaray file a criminal complaint? How did Fenerbahçe respond?

Galatasaray will report Fenerbahçe Head Coach Jose Mourinho to UEFA and FIFA on allegations of 'racism.' At the same time, the yellow-red team announced that it would file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor's office.

WHAT DID JOSE MOURINHO SAY?

The Portuguese coach stated during the press conference held after the derby against Galatasaray, "Everyone on the other bench was jumping around like monkeys."

ERAY YAZGAN: I AM ASHAMED OF THESE REMARKS

Galatasaray General Secretary Eray Yazgan made statements following the announcement that they would file a criminal complaint against Jose Mourinho. Eray Yazgan expressed the following: "I am ashamed and saddened by these remarks! All of the press, those who say the Ottomans ruled the world for 600 years at the TFF in Riva, should vent their anger at this; they will vent it. I am very angry! Since the day he arrived, he has been belittling the Turkish people and Turkey. The penalty for racism is clear all over the world! We hope UEFA and FIFA will impose the necessary penalty! My request to you is to stand behind us to teach this person a lesson! Acun Ilıcalı should stop the perception management! He should answer for this insult to the Turkish people, for this racist discourse right now! We expect this reaction from the TFF, the Turkish judiciary, UEFA, FIFA, and Fenerbahçe! Galatasaray fans, Fenerbahçe fans, Beşiktaş fans... We expect people who feel Turkish to give this reaction together. I am not speaking as a Galatasaray fan right now, but as a Turkish person! Everyone should show their anger at this man. Volkan Demirel, you should also show a reaction."

VOLKAN DEMİREL'S RESPONSE TO ERAY YAZGAN

Former Fenerbahçe player and coach Volkan Demirel made the following statements after Eray Yazgan's remarks: "The discourse is wrong, but it is not racism. You want to create a perception. Eray, my brother, I could say something to you here, but the matter would drag on! They say things to us, and we bow our heads. What he said is wrong, but it has nothing to do with racism."

''A MOVE WE EXPECTED''

Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı made statements following Galatasaray General Secretary Eray Yazgan. Acun Ilıcalı expressed the following: "A move we expected! It is likely a decision to change the agenda that came out of the crisis meeting of the Galatasaray management, which we have been following for years as Fenerbahçe! When I got into this business, I understood this; I won't be able to say as much as is being said... Not everything was told to me! They are going to apply to UEFA, how can one say this to Turkish children... While listening to Eray Yazgan, our eyes welled up. If you say 'monkey' to a Black person, it is racism. If you say it to white people, how is this racism! What kind of racism is this! When I say 'don't jump like a squirrel, don't jump like a monkey,' how is this racism? If this group is white while people are jumping for a yellow card... What Jose Mourinho said there is about people jumping too much and reacting. This is not a subject related to the color of that bench. He is not physically comparing those on the bench to monkeys.

You are jumping, monkeys jump in the jungle, you know... He says 'you are jumping for a yellow card.' If I say 'don't jump like a monkey,' am I a racist too! We understood you played badly, we understood you criticized the referee! When did you get to racism? Don't treat anyone like a fool! May God curse racists. We are not in a racist country anyway. Jose Mourinho also says 'they are jumping like monkeys.' This is a simile, a description! What does this have to do with racism! Is Okan Hoca Black, what's going on? A monkey is not like a donkey. That is, it is not rude, it is a sympathetic animal. What is racism? I attribute this to Mr. Eray's lack of information. Or they wanted to write a script, he is speaking in that sense. He is very hurt...''

''YOU CALLED THE UEFA PRESIDENT AND WE WERE DISGRACED''

Ilıcalı continued his words as follows: ''While publishing a declaration calling Turkish referees 'thieves,' didn't you belittle Turkish referees? I am asking Galatasaray! A month ago you said 'thieves.' If you drag this into racism because of the word 'monkey,' Jose Mourinho could make a statement about the intelligence of the Turkish people this time. Don't do it! I am calling out to Galatasaray. Don't try to extract a racism issue from here and be disgraced! Don't disgrace us abroad. You called the UEFA President, we were already disgraced! Don't go and complain about racism on top of that! They will say, 'What are you doing, do you have no other lessons?' Our coach's description is describing it with the jumping of a monkey! I say it once again, there is nothing as natural as using animals when describing a subject. Would I use it? I wouldn't. But if I used a monkey while describing it to a friend... I think the person our coach is referring to is Okan Buruk. These are sensitive matters, the people researching this are smart people. The word monkey is used in the world by disgusting people to belittle Black people. If the person is not Black... If two Chinese people are talking, if two Japanese people are talking and say 'don't jump like a monkey,' it is to describe that the jumping is an exaggeration. Those who want to extract racism from here are those who want to cover up their failures. They are trying to provoke people against our coach and us. Let them continue with this 'racism' talk, and we will laugh. This is a matter of intelligence, may God set them straight. Have you ever heard words like 'He is crying, he went to the referee's door' for a coach? Sometimes disrespectful expressions can be used due to adrenaline. When I say 'we are behind our coach,' I mean we are behind him regarding the fact that it is not racism."
