Jose Mourinho claims Turkish referees apply double standards

Fenerbahce Technical Director Jose Mourinho claimed that the referees in Trendyol Super League applied double standards before the UEFA Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round rematch match against Lille and said “Galatasaray Technical Director does not see a card when he enters the pitch 4 metres but I see a card when I enter 1 meter”.

Talking about the Super League, the world-famous technical man said:

There are very competitive matches in the Turkish League, I have seen this. Teams know how to defend, they can make the opponent slow down the tempo. Sivasspor and Samsunspor are good teams.
