Galatasaray coach Okan Brooke was interviewed by The Athletic and talked about being attacked by Mourinho after the Turkish Cup.

Brook smiled and admitted that his reaction was a bit too extreme: "I fell like a player, a little exaggerated, I didn't expect him to do this. I just shook hands with the referee and was about to celebrate the victory on the other side, but he walked straight over, and we usually shook hands after the game."

"It was a very difficult game, he was very rude when he coached Fenerbahce. We knew his style, he not only competed with us on the court, but also off the court. He tried many ways, but in the end we were better. I was stronger than him, we beat them twice at his home court and won The championship. Unfortunately, he has left here, and we were looking forward to playing two more games with him. "

" He is no longer as focused as before, and the way he looks at football has changed. He has never changed his coaching style. He is indeed a very status figure with extraordinary leadership charisma, but in football, we must improve ourselves every year. Maybe his problem is that he has failed to continue to improve his coaching level as a coach. "

Galatasaray will play against Liverpool in the Champions League mid-week, and will also compete with Atletico Madrid coached by Simeone and Manchester City led by Guardiola. Brooke said that Guardiola is the coach he admires the most at the moment, so he is looking forward to fighting with him: "Last year in Turkey, the showdown with Mourinho was a huge challenge for me. As a coach, if I could create some special moments, I could say I beat Guardiola."
