First statement from Mourinho: This is a joke!

Fenerbahçe Assistant Coach Salvatore Foti made a statement before the Gaziantep FK match. Reacting to the accusation of racism due to the "monkey-like" expressions the Portuguese coach used after the Galatasaray match, Foti said, "This whole thing is like a joke."

'MOURINHO DID NOTHING'

Reminding us of the racism allegations against Jose Mourinho and asking, "Has he spoken to Jose Mourinho, what does he think?", Foti said, "This is a difficult subject to comment on. We spoke to him. All of this is a joke. He didn't do anything. Although he was careful, it is sad that he was suspended, but we need to focus on the match. We need to play for our coach. We are with our coach, we will play for him. I think it is unnecessary to speak against such actions. Everyone is talking about him. I find it unnecessary to comment."

'WE CAME TO PLAY OUR GAME'

Evaluating the match, Foti said, "We came here to win. We came with the focus of winning. Winning will be important in this sense, it will also be important to be in first place. The team has been performing well recently. We need to continue like this. We have great respect for Gaziantep, but we came here to play our own game."
