Lloyd Kelly WHAT DID MOURINHO SAY? After the match in which they defeated Konyaspor 3-2, Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho stated, "We need a center-back. I'm not saying it's urgent, but we must acquire a center-back to create balance in the team. We lost Jayden and Becao. If I were to request a position, it would be a center-back," expressing his demand for a center-back.
