Fans were waiting! The first move from Jose Mourinho came after the derby.

Super Lig giant Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho spoke with his players after the 3-1 defeat in the Galatasaray derby.

"WE HAVE NO EXCUSES"

The successful coach, who said, "I will support them but I will criticize them, no one's place is guaranteed," stated, "We have no excuses." Mourinho, who pointed out the mistakes made in the derby one by one and asked each player to engage in self-criticism, expressed that he wants good football and a victory in the upcoming match against Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday.

The Portuguese coach will largely change the squad for this match. Mourinho, who said that some players sitting on the bench deserve to play more than those on the field, stated, "You are characterful, talented players. Every player has the right to play poorly sometimes. However, if poor performance exceeds 2-3 matches, I will take action. Because I have two quality players who can form an excellent starting eleven in my squad," he expressed.

"THEY PUNISHED US"

While evaluating the Galatasaray match, he said, "The turning points always went against us. We missed clear opportunities, they did not. We made mistakes, they punished us. They made mistakes, we could not punish them. However, these are not excuses. Neither you nor I came here for just a few matches. We are aiming for the championship. With a series of wins, we will be at the top again," he stated.
