The message is very clear! Mourinho's striking words before the derby.

Super League giant Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho made statements that will be widely discussed before the Galatasaray derby.

Speaking about the match, the Portuguese coach said, "I don't think there needs to be any special preparation for this match. Many of the players have played in this derby and know what it means. Pragmatically speaking, we will play to get 3 points. The opponent will do the same. It will be different from other matches, but there is no need to prepare the players specially. They know what they need to do. In fact, we have prepared more on our game identity. We analyze not just against Galatasaray, but against any team we play. We have made a mixed preparation for both. The most important thing is to reflect our identity on the field," he said.

"BOTH TEAMS HAVE STRONG PLAYERS"

Commenting on both teams, Mourinho stated, "I can't say they are better than us. I can't say the opposite either. Both teams have top-level players. It would be disrespectful to say otherwise. Both teams have strong players," he expressed.
