If the Red Devils had opened the scoring thanks to Christian Eriksen, the Truc club equalized after the locker room by Youssef En-Nesyri.
And José Mourinho, coach Stambouliote, was not satisfied with this draw for his big reunion with the Mancunian club. The fault of a penalty not whistled in the second half for an inexpensive contact by Manuel Ugarte on Bright Osayi-Samuel. Furious at Clément Turpin’s decision, the meeting referee, the Portuguese technician was left to finish the match in the stands.
Clément Turpin is too strong …
A red card to which the former Roman returned after the match, taking advantage to send a tackle to the French referee.
“He told me something incredible, he confided after the meeting at the microphone of TNT SPORTS. He told me that he could see the action in the penalty area at the same time and my behavior on the key line. I congratulated him because he is absolutely incredible, he has a peripheral vision during the match. At 100 miles per hour (160km/h), he eye on the penalty situation and an eye on the bench and my behavior. This is the explanation he gave me. This is why it is one of the best referees in the world. »»
The Fenerbahçe coach also expressed his regrets in view of the performance of his players. “They are the ones who took a point against us, not the other way around, he said. We played a lot. I told the players that if we were playing like that in the league, we would destroy everyone. My guys made a superb game. I think that in England, they will talk about the two or three players of Manchester United who did not play but he did not know how many ours did not play. »»
