Galatasaray slams Mourinho's controversial move

After Fenerbahce lost 1-2 to Galatasaray and missed the Turkish Cup semi-finals, a scene outside the stadium attracted more attention than the game itself. After the game, Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho was photographed having a fierce conflict with Galatasaray coach Okan Bruk, and there was even a controversial action suspected of "physical contact".

The video shows that after the two sides exchanged words, Brook turned around and prepared to leave, but Mourinho suddenly reached out and touched his face, apparently "pinching" his nose, and Brook fell to the ground. The scene was chaotic for a while, and was finally pulled apart under the persuasion of the Fenerbahce coaching staff.

The incident caused great controversy in Turkey. Mourinho's action was widely regarded as a "physical attack", and some media said he might face a 10-game suspension. As the controversy continued to ferment, Galatasaray Club also issued a rare strong statement, fiercely criticizing Mourinho for "damaging the image of Turkish football."

An excerpt from Galatasaray's full statement is as follows: "Over the past eight months, the rival coach who was expected to make a contribution to Turkish football has been accelerating the destruction of our football ecosystem."

"This person has caused inappropriate incidents in international football many times and should have publicly apologized for his behavior instead of continuing to make remarks in a tone that insults the IQ of the Turkish football community. What is even more regrettable is that we still need to defend him in the hope that he will receive less punishment, which is simply a disgrace to the spirit of sports."

"Those who were teaching us morality yesterday have become negative examples of moral degradation today. We are ashamed of them and deeply saddened by the damage to the image of Turkish football as a whole."

The incident has now entered the disciplinary review stage, and a decision on whether Mourinho will be suspended will be made in the next few days. If it is determined that his behavior constitutes serious offensive behavior, the Portuguese coach may end his coaching career early this season.
