This round’s Turkish derby saw Mourinho’s Fenerbahce lose 1-3 to Galatasaray. After the match, Mourinho refused to attend the post-match press conference and left the stadium directly. He only gave an interview to television media after the game.
“Losing 1-3 would be a very foolish result, but the opponents won because they scored more goals than us. Fenerbahce started with great speed and quickly gained the upper hand in the game, but none of this matters now. It doesn’t matter how many chances we missed; all that counts is that we only managed to score from a penalty.”
“But we can’t blame the players who have just joined the team. The opponents scored twice from throw-ins, which is not the fault of the new players but due to mistakes made by the team as a whole. I don’t think Galatasaray performed better than us, nor is their squad superior to ours. But they managed to successfully convert their attacks into goals, while we couldn’t.”
