Fenerbahçe Technical Director Jose Mourinho made statements that will be widely discussed at the press conference held after the match in which they lost 2 points by drawing 0-0 with Samsunspor. The Portuguese coach made striking remarks about his player Allan Saint-Maximin, who has been drawing attention with his recent posts.
"THIS MANIPULATION AND ILLEGAL"
Jose Mourinho responded to the question about Allan Saint-Maximin by saying, "Saint-Maximin has had a lot of chances throughout the season. There hasn't been a single period in the last 3 months where he has trained for 4 consecutive days. It has never happened. The people he works with shared data with you illegally, and I believe those were the data that caused manipulation. We had a tactical training session before the Rangers match on March 10. I was the one who ran the most in that training. I covered more distance than all the players. The purpose of that training was educational. We showed the players how to position themselves, and the physical load was low. I was the one who covered the most distance there. On the same day, Maximin did individual training. Of course, it is normal for him to have a higher training load in the data because he did such training," he stated.
"HE CAN PHOTOSHOP IF HE WANTS, BUT HE IS NOT TRAINING"
Emphasizing that Maximin is not in a condition to play, the Portuguese coach said, "It is illegal for the people he works with to share this inside information with you. This is manipulation. He is not in a condition to play. Let him share whatever photo he wants. If he wants, he can photoshop and make abs. He is not training. If he doesn't train consistently, he will not be in a condition to play," he said.
IS CENK TOSUN LEAVING FENERBAHÇE?
Mourinho, regarding the future of Cenk Tosun, who is rumored to be transferring to Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds, said, "I haven't used Cenk much. He is our 4th striker. We have Nesyri, Dzeko, and Talisca. I put him on the field for emergencies. I cannot play with 4 strikers at the same time. In the last part of the match, we played with Kahveci, Nesyri, Dzeko, Sebastian, and Oğuz. Cenk is the 4th striker, a good person, and a good professional. He will go to a place where he will play more than he does here. I cannot stop him from making this decision because he is a good person and a good professional," he expressed.
