Trabzonspor fans lash out at team’s coach over Salah

Trabzonspor supporters expressed severe criticism towards manager Fatih Taki after the team's match against Amed SK on Monday. The club's third-round league game ended with Salah being the sole scorer in the 11th minute, yet the overall performance left much to be desired. Fans were particularly outraged by Salah's positioning and performance, which they felt was inferior to the rest of the players.

One fan posted on social media, "Salah applauded the stands at the end of the match. I was so embarrassed I wished I could disappear into the ground. I swear to God, we are sorry, big brother." Another expressed, "I feel like crying because of this guy (Salah). I feel ashamed sitting at my desk that a man like him ever came into my life. They said he’d spend his time lying around doing nothing at 34, but he’s the one who’s working so hard. Poor guy!"

A fan questioned Taki, saying, "Fatih, you exhausted the world-class player Mohamed Salah by forcing him to constantly defend and run backwards. Salah has probably never run so far back in any match throughout his career. I felt embarrassed watching the game on TV. Didn’t you feel any shame watching it from the bench?" Another commented, "Some players didn’t even touch the ball. This team has never been this slow before. What a loss!"
