Mourinho's venomous response to the press: "You are always crying."

The Super Lig giant Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho made statements that will be widely discussed after the match against Samsunspor, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

"WE ARE 8 POINTS BEHIND"

The Portuguese coach responded to the question, "Why didn't you take Levent Mercan?" by saying, "I don't speak Turkish, but I'm getting used to players who don't play anymore. The moment you said 'Levent', I understood the question that would come next. Before the match, there was also the question, 'Why is Tadic playing instead of Kahveci?' We were leading 2-1, and Samsunspor was putting pressure. There were set pieces and corners. When the 1.88m tall Jaden came off, if you put in a player who is 1.70m tall, you will get into trouble. We conceded the goal regardless of who was playing left back. If the referee had blown the whistle and given a foul, the match would have been over," he replied.

Mourinho continued, "Looking at the current points table, the gap with our direct rivals has increased by 2 points. I can't know how this will affect the end of the season. I don't have a magic brain. We will fight for 3 points in our next match against Bodrum. If I'm not mistaken, we have 1 match less, we are 8 points behind, that's the situation..."

"YOU ARE ALWAYS CRYING"

The experienced coach said, "I have started to understand why these questions are being asked. I was surprised; I would have expected you to ask why İrfan Can Eğribayat is not playing, why Cenk Tosun is not playing. Tadic has been the best player for the team for a few matches now. Not just for the goals, but for the balance he brings to the team, and for the intelligence he provides in organizing the team, and for not making positional and decision-making errors. If you say we don't want him to play, that's fine. It's hard for me to give more reasons than that. I don't want to analyze my players in front of the cameras. I have to defend them. It's not right for me to say he plays for this reason. I understand, this is part of your culture. I am trying to respond. You ask questions like why Oğuz didn't play, why İrfan was on the bench, you ask these kinds of questions every day. They asked why Kostic is not playing left back, Jayden played, they asked why Levent didn't play. It's hard for me to answer. İrfan was on the bench. Tadic played. You are always crying about this. Now you are saying Oğuz. I would recommend this. You can analyze and understand the matches effectively. Even the best player can make a critical mistake," he said.
