Drogba's post about Mourinho: How can my father be a racist?

The statements made after the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby played in the 25th week of the Trendyol Super League were on the agenda.

Fenerbahçe Technical Director Jose Mourinho had said after the derby, "I have to thank the referee. When Yusuf Akçiçek was in the first minute, everyone on the opposing bench was jumping around the player like monkeys." Galatasaray Club interpreted this statement as racism and announced that they would take the issue to court.

Former Galatasaray star Didier Drogba supported Jose Mourinho.

Drogba made the following statement on his social media account:

"Dear Galatasaray Community,

You know how proud it is to wear the red-yellow jersey and to have the love for the most decorated club in Turkey! We all know how passionate and fiery rivalries can be and I was lucky enough to experience it.

I have seen the comments about Jose Mourinho recently. Trust me, I have known Jose for 20 years and he is not a racist; history (past and recent) proves it. Let's focus on our game, support our bright lions and wear our 5th star by winning the league. How can my father be a racist?

Come on guys..."
