Everything was going very well, we scored a nice goal with Muçi and went ahead. But Tayyip got a ridiculous red card and ruined the match. Beşiktaş had problems in every game he played. It's not possible to understand why Ole still prefers him. To be eliminated by Göztepe, even at home, when we were favorites for the cup is unbelievable. After being short on the pitch, there wasn't much scoring action. After Göztepe scored the 3rd goal, there is no point in putting all the strikers on the pitch, at that moment it was already too late.
It was a painful loss for a team that had just recently defeated the almighty Galatasaray. Beşiktaş was totally in charge of the game until that red card. I also think that these referees should control the amount of cards they give for some situations. However pulling of a player's jersey in such a goalscoring position might be a big infringement.
Even after the red card Beşiktaş continued to fight for a goal. But the penalty that made them one goal down affected their performance and they couldn't continue fighting. Congratulations to Göztepe for making it to the semi-finals.
While coaches like Pep and Guardiola developed new tactics and took the competition to a higher level, Mourinho continued to park buses in front of the goal. The decline in his career is no coincidence. His next career could be in the Arab league. I am sure that the Arab teams also know this. However, Mourinho still has brand value. If he goes to the Arab league or similar leagues, he will take his brand value with him...
I kept saying it that José Mourinho needs to take a break from coaching to enable him to reevaluate his strategies and come up with new workable ones. His pattern is no longer effective in current football tactics.
