Trabzonspor fans lash out at coach over Mohamed Salah’s role

Trabzonspor fans turned their frustration on manager Fatih Taki after a 2-1 defeat by Amed SK, with Mohamed Salah’s role becoming the focus of their anger.

“

I was so embarrassed I wished I could disappear into the ground. I swear to God, we are sorry, big brother.

Salah scored Trabzonspor’s only goal in the 11th minute, but Yerla Sür and Gift Orban later found the net for Amed SK. Supporters said the team’s wider performance fell well below expectations, while Salah appeared to carry an excessive defensive burden.

One fan wrote that Salah applauded the stands after the match and said, “I was so embarrassed I wished I could disappear into the ground.” Another praised the player’s effort while criticizing the rest of the team, saying, “Salah did his best, but what can he do if the others don’t play?!”

The criticism also targeted Taki’s tactics. A supporter accused him of forcing Salah to run back repeatedly and wrote, “Fatih, you exhausted the world-class player Mohamed Salah by forcing him to constantly defend and run backwards.” Other comments described the defense as a catastrophe, called the tactics a disaster and complained that the team played too slowly.
