Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho made striking statements that will drive the yellow-navy blue fans crazy after the 1-1 draw against Eyüpspor. "IT WAS A DISASTER OF A MATCH"The Portuguese coach's statements are as follows; "It was a disaster of a match. How much of the match was played, how much the game was stopped, how many players were on the ground? Many times. The quality of the match was very poor. There were many technical errors. For me, it was a weak and low-quality match. I am responsible for my team, not because the match was of low quality. My team performed poorly. It was difficult to hold and circulate the ball. We made mistakes in building the game. We were better in the second half. I wouldn't say clearly, but we created chances. We lost the ball, giving the opponent a chance for counterattacks. It was a weak match for me, and a poor performance for my team. "I AM SEEING THINGS IN THE DRESSING ROOM CORRIDORS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY CAREER"Now there will be a few days of leave. It will not be a happy leave period for me. How it will be for the players depends on their mentality. I would have preferred no leave, but we had promised a long time ago. In the second period of this two-week break, we will work very hard. I expect my players to be pragmatic. Mathematics determines what position you are in. We have to fight mathematically. Everyone deserves more. Players should give more. Some things are difficult in Turkey. I am seeing some things for the first time here in my long career. Like what happens in the dressing room corridor during halftime. Difficult. "MY PLAYERS NEED TO ADAPT"The players have been here for a long time; they need to adapt. The newcomers also need to adapt to this situation. Our club provides the best conditions for the players. I know my own quality. I know the quality of our team. We give our best to our players in training. If you ask what you expect from your players in the second half of the league, this is what I expect.
