02.10.2024 21:50

Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho made statements ahead of the match against Twente in the second week of the UEFA Europa League. In response to a question about whether he regrets coming to the yellow-navy team, Mourinho said, "There is no difference between winning in Spain with Real Madrid and experiencing championship success in Turkey with Fenerbahçe. There are still things in Turkish football that I am trying to learn. I have no regrets about my decision to come here."

In the second week of the UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe will face the Dutch team Twente away tomorrow. The team's head coach, Jose Mourinho, made statements during a press conference held before the match. In response to a question about whether he regrets coming to Fenerbahçe, Mourinho gave a striking answer.

"WE WILL PLAY AGAINST A VERY GOOD TEAM"

The 61-year-old coach expressed that they will be competing against a team that plays well together, saying, "I can say that their strong point is being a team. They play as a unit. You can see the work behind that. They defend well and are successful in pressing high. They know how to drop back and play compactly. They enjoy playing like a typical Dutch team. They are also effective in counter-attacks. We will be playing against a very good team. We have been preparing for this match since Sunday. We know what we need to do tactically," he stated.

"I HAVE NO REGRETS AT ALL"

Mourinho explained that he has no regrets about coming to Fenerbahçe, continuing;

"I do not separate the other clubs I have worked with from here as a high platform. Every club has its goals. When you come to a club, you embrace their projects. There is no difference between winning Spain with Real Madrid and experiencing championship success in Turkey with Fenerbahçe. There are still things I am trying to learn in Turkish football. I have no regrets about my decision to come here."

"MY AMBITIONS FROM 20 YEARS AGO STILL EXIST"

Mourinho expressed that he still carries the hunger for success from 20 years ago, saying, "I won the Champions League with Porto 20 years ago, but I also won the Conference League with Roma 2 years ago. A year before that, I lost the Europa League in the final, but I have already mentioned how I lost. My ambitions from 20 years ago still exist. Fenerbahçe is a club with ambitions, but the situations you find yourself in to achieve those goals are very difficult. The Turkish people understand what I mean. I still feel the same things; I still receive yellow cards. There is not much that has changed apart from my appearance. Fenerbahçe wants to win tournaments. There are good teams in the league, and the conditions are tough, but I am not the one who should be talking about these conditions; they know better. There are high-level teams in the Europa League. There are good and bad things. One of the good things is that no team is coming from the Champions League anymore. Looking at the team names, there are tough and potential teams. We hope to get through the first stage. Once we pass to the second stage, we will start thinking about the third stage. We do not know the new format; we do not know how many points we need to collect. There are 7 matches, and we need to earn points from them; I hope we can start doing that from tomorrow," he said.

"HE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY WHILE REFEREEING THE FINAL"

In response to a question about the referee who he stated lost the Europa League due to referee decisions being assigned as the VAR referee for tomorrow's match, Mourinho said, "I think this is a normal appointment. It is not a problem for me. I believe in their honesty. They were having a bad day while refereeing the final. They made decisions that affected history for the team, fans, coaching staff, and players, but I believe in their honesty. They were having a bad day while refereeing the final. They made decisions that affected history, but I believe in their honesty; we know they will do their best tomorrow," he evaluated.

"I DO NOT LIKE TO LOSE"

The Portuguese coach also touched on the difficulty of playing against Dutch teams, saying, "I win against Dutch teams; I have won in the past because I was managing good teams. I had played against Ajax with Real Madrid four times, and it is normal to win here. It has nothing to do with me because you expect that. In my matchups, one Ajax-Real Madrid match was easy, and one Manchester United-Ajax final was easy; apart from that, all were difficult. I think tomorrow will also be tough. I like to win; I do not like to lose. Dutch teams are always tough and organized. They are technically top-level and quality, especially when they play at home. This year, we are matched with both Twente and AZ, and we will play away against both. If you ask me, 'Are you happy about this?' I would say no, I am not," he stated.
