On July 24, in the first leg of the second round of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League qualifiers, Fenerbahçe defeated Lugano 4-3. After the match, Fenerbahçe head coach José Mourinho attended the press conference.
About the Match
With the support of our fans, we secured a win in the first leg and we aim to progress to the next stage.
About the Playing Surface
Honestly, I didn’t want to say this before the game, but playing on artificial turf is really difficult. We struggled to adapt to this surface, and it’s unacceptable to play under such conditions in a competition as prestigious as the UEFA Champions League.
About Transfers
I am very satisfied with the support the club has provided in the transfer market. When I arrived, I did not ask the club for any specific commitments. I wanted the best possible squad, and the club gave me the best team. I believe our squad is of high quality, with some players still on vacation. It’s a tough phase, but everyone is gradually improving. I think we have an excellent team, and for that, I thank every player who has worked hard.
