Fenerbahce vice-president Acun Ilicali defends Jose Mourinho after “monkey” comments

Acun isn’t even answering the questions properly, his point is all over the place… It’s obvious that the phrase can be interpreted in a certain way.

Since Jose arrived in Turkey, he has been constantly speaking disrespectfully to the media people and Turkish refs. Sorry, but he’s the drama queen here…. He wouldn’t get away with talking like this in any other country. Someone needs to call him out on it.

First, Acun is a huge fan of Fenerbahce, so definetly talking about their way and making sounds for global media and using his power of media, they are not champions since 2014-2015.

Second, Ali Koç who is president of Fenerbahce wants to stay of his postion no matter what, because as he mention that football is extrely important for Turkish, and If you are a president or vice is means a lot and nobady want to leave his chair, because they didn’t champion last year after loose the year and starting way behind from Gala, they starting to manipulating media with his channel, and talking about how Gala got match, when you ask them who is doing no answer, say who no answer exact they are saying somebody. Weird thing is that when you ask them does federation presedent who is problem they are saying no, so short of the story that they want to stay their postion and fans need to believe them from their angle how you are gonna do that ? You need to enemy who has more power with dark power to show we are trying with best , just b…s..t

Due to the collapse of the justice system and the fragmentation of the education system in Turkey, you may be able to deceive Turks with these words, but you will never be able to fool any global citizen on the world stage. Just because you have money, don’t think that everyone will approve of you in every setting—people are not stupid. Mourinho cannot call anyone a monkey.

Galatasaray is criminal organization with ties to deep state like FETO. They can bend any truth if it favors.

Acun, don't curl, no matter what you say, it doesn't work.A song came to my mind Fener ağlama

Since he come to Turkey as coach of Fenerbahçe, always insulted Turkish people, Turkish football, Turkish footballplayers and the Turkish refereries with many racist statements.
At the and, after the football match of Galatasaray – Fenerbahçe this monday which is the date of 24,2,2025 he likened The Rams Park is a jungle and its audience and bench of Galatasaray football players are the jumping monkeys.
Those kind of statements are not new things. Since he came to Turkey as coach of Fenerbahçe, he always used those kind of racist wordings.

RASICT!!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
Library is a place we can borrow books not to be racist of Turkish people.

Bollocks!! These wokes are trying to make something out of nothing. How many black players does Jose speak about as his sons, Drogba, Abraham, Essien etc

Even though Mou barely stayed in the league thanks to unfair points and referee decisions, Mourinho has been treating Turks unfairly from day one. He constantly tries to put Turks down and shows clear discrimination. There’s no doubt that he’s being racist toward Turks.

Acun Just use a translator next time

Turkish football was alreay decline but that rascal and Mourinho has speeded this dowFALL. Mourinho is a racist that at any Chance belittle their opponents and this rich rascal Supports him.

what an accent

There are lots of racism in Turkey, currently especially towards Syrian immigrants. You can check Bolu region Mayor Tanju Özcan's comments, rants, and official policies, with huge local support. So that's comment from Acun is wrong.

To be honest, I hate you Acun, because of your manipulations and lies about Galatasaray. You are such a person who can manipulate everything for your and your club's benefit. You are just talking, but clearly could not able to show any single evidence about the Turkish referee's support or any other things that support Galatasaray. Stop telling lies and trying to cover up your club's own failure.
Mourinho swears at Galatasaray in the press conference (He also makes a gesture with his hand), says they screwed up in the europa league (even though they were in 24th place and made it to the play-offs at the last minute), calls their stadium a forest, says they jumped like monkeys to the bench and makes a gesture with his hand, and as if that wasn't enough, he makes another racist and derogatory insult to the 4th referee who is Turkish, saying it's a good thing you didn't referee the match, otherwise you would have ruined the match. And after all this, Acun has to make a ridiculous defense saying that a monkey is a good and likeable animal, not a donkey, and he can even say that they were jumping like monkeys to his own fans.

please respect all colour and say no racism.

Listen i dont care who loves jose he has no right to use such a reference towards a football teams bench who does he think he is. If jose said that to a Premier league team it would of been over for him. Mr acun is a liar and real fraud personality. This man is dodgy as one can be

Her yerde Fenerbahçe

Morinho target galata saray menegar okan hes is the one jumping like monkey. He said..!!! Nothing to the racism..!!!

hahahahahahah imagine this dude as your vice-president

It’s just a metaphor word used there to described their action. “ Jumping like a Monk*y”. Jose Mourinho could be the last man to be raciest….. case study Chelsea, Madrid & Inter Milan.

No disrespect to our African player. He bought guys like Drogba, Essian, Mikel Obi, Solomon Kalou, inter Samuel Etoo, Sullay Mutari, went to Madrid recalled Essien n Lansana Diara. So what’s the big deal about the Spacial One.

They just want to defame his character.

If someone assumes saying "jumping like a monkey" as a racism, that guy is the only racist and liar one.
