Fenerbahçe coach Jose Mourinho expressed frustration, saying the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) went from “invisible” to “the most important man on the pitch” after a sequence of controversial choices of their 3-2 Süper Lig victory over Trabzonspor on Sunday.
Trabzonspor earned two second-half penalties following VAR interventions and with the rating tied at 2-2, Mourinho was infuriated when a problem on Bright Osayi-Samuel went unpunished late within the recreation.
The Portuguese coach prompt the VAR, Atilla Karaoğlan, had missed the incident as a result of he was “drinking coffee.”
Despite having late penalty claims waved away, Fenerbahçe clinched the win when Sofyan Amrabat scored deep into stoppage time, prompting the previous Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United supervisor to race onto the pitch to have a good time with a knee slide.
“The referee was just a little boy that was there on the pitch, but the referee was Atilla Karaoğlan, so man of the match,” Mourinho advised beIN Sports Turkiye.
“He goes from the invisible man to the most important man in the match.”
Mourinho added that Karaoğlan mustn’t officiate one other Fenerbahçe recreation.
“Isn’t it a red card on Bright? Karaoglan was what, drinking coffee at that time, didn’t see that red card for that player?” he mentioned.
“He was alert to offer the 2 penalty choices to Trabzonspor when the referee didn’t give them, then was having Turkish tea when it was a transparent penalty for us and didn’t give it.
“I think I am speaking on behalf of every Fenerbahçe fan: We don’t want him again.”
