"An interesting analogy from Jose Mourinho before the Trabzonspor match."

Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho made striking statements before the Trabzonspor match.

"THIS IS LIKE A WATERMELON"

Speaking about the match preparations, Mourinho said, "I don't know what kind of Fenerbahçe we will see, but I know what I want to see from my team. I know what we are preparing for. How you prepare is one thing, what happens on the field is another. We can compare this to a watermelon. You only know if it tastes good when you cut it open. There are 3 outcomes in this match, but we have made our preparations to win," he stated.

"TRABZONSPOR IS FAR FROM ITS TRUE POTENTIAL"

Evaluating Trabzonspor's situation, Jose Mourinho said, "Trabzonspor needs to win; they are far from where they want to be and their true potential. The important question here is, how will they want to win? Will they play aggressively and give up the initiative for counterattacks? They are strong in set pieces. We will see what kind of strategy they will follow. I will carefully watch how they play in the first minutes of the match," he said.
