FENERBAHÇE'S CHAMPIONSHIP CHANCES

Jose Mourinho's statements are as follows;

• "Does Fenerbahçe's championship chance continue?"

"I don't want to evaluate the championship, the league in general. I don't want to assess whether we have a chance or not. Our current chance is perhaps as much as it was in August or September. I don't want to evaluate the league race in general. If I do that, it would seem like I'm avoiding talking about today's match. I don't want to avoid talking about today's match. We lost 2 points in a match we needed to win today. The reason for this was that we made too many mistakes. We could also say we were unlucky. We could have finished the match. But independent of all this, we were unlucky, we made mistakes, and we paid the price for it. I want to focus on today's match. We got a bad result today. If I talk about the championship race, it would be a long story, so I don't want to talk about this topic right now.

"I AM THE LEADER OF THE LOCKER ROOM"

I am used to dealing with the crises inside the locker room. I am the leader there. When there is a problem, I am used to dealing with such issues. This is my area. Today, we made mistakes, we made too many mistakes in the midfield. All 3 goals happened in the same way. The same thing happened on the 2nd and 3rd goals. We did not apply pressure in the opponent's midfield, we did not mark in the penalty area. After 2-1, I took a lot of risks. I played with only one center-back, Skriniar. After 3-2, I tried to bring balance to the team, but we made positional mistakes. Bright should have marked on the 3rd goal, but he didn't; it wasn't his position. On the 2nd goal, Diego, a center-back, also did not mark. The 3rd goal came after a loss of possession, and we couldn't stop the counter-attack on the 2nd goal, and we conceded goals.

"WE PAID THE PRICE FOR THE MISTAKES WE MADE"

We made mistakes today that we shouldn't have made. Offensively, we were good, we scored 3 goals and could have scored more. Skriniar and En-Nesyri had chances. We created a lot of opportunities. Kayserispor was also a team that performed well defensively. But you could see that fragility in the team during the ball losses made by the team. We couldn't stop the opponent's 3rd goal. We had ups and downs, and we paid the price for the mistakes we made during those downs.
