It's always hot on Turkish pitches, especially when derbies are played - it was the same in the duel between Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor.
The team whose colors our Stefan Savić defends was defeated by José Mourinho's team 4:1, even though it led 1:0 after the first half. And then, at the end and after the match, there was everything...
First, it was Savić who argued with one of Mourinho's assistants, and at one point the Portuguese even made some gestures towards the Montenegrin defender, and after the match, Ali Ferahbot, a commentator from Bein Sport, reported that some fans threatened him with death.
He did not name whose fans, but emphasized that he was proud because he commented on the goals of both clubs with equal energy.
Trabzonspor, which was recently taken over by Fatih Teke (the legendary Şenol Güneş moved to the director's position), was in good rhythm, and started off well in this match after Denis Draguš silenced "Şukra Sarakoğlu".
Everything was ideal, and then in the second half Mourinho sent Brazilian Talisca onto the field, who completed a hat-trick from the 51st to the 64th minute, practically single-handedly deciding the match and showing that Fenerbahce is not giving up on the title - they are currently three points behind leaders Galatasaray.
Savić's defense conceded four goals, but our player was the only one at a good level.
"Savić's willingness to play at a faster pace was valuable for us," he praised his defender Teke.
There were also those who received criticism from expert commentators...
"Trabzonspor has serious problems with the quality of its players. Anthony Nwakame is five years younger than me - I think he is a player whom football has abandoned," Sergen Yalcin, a former Besiktas player and coach, commented to the "61 Saat" portal.
Trabzonspor is currently in 11th place in the Super League, things in the championship have become complicated a long time ago, but Savić and his teammates are fully focused on the Cup, where they will soon face off in the semi-finals with Geztepe.
