Fenerbahçe responds to racism claims! "Poverty slander"

Fenerbahçe made a statement regarding Jose Mourinho's words after the derby.

Fenerbahçe's statement is as follows:

"This statement has become necessary regarding a topic that has been on the agenda after the match played between our Football Team and Galatasaray.

A statement made by our Technical Director José Mourinho after the match was taken completely out of context and deliberately distorted.

As every sane person can see and understand; these expressions used by José Mourinho to describe the excessive reaction of the opposing team's technical staff to the referee's decisions during the match can in no way be associated with racism.

Trying to portray this discourse as racist is a completely malevolent approach.

We would like to inform the public that we will exercise our legal rights regarding this pathetic slander that aims to take the competition out of the field, change the agenda and manipulate it."
