Mourinho Reacts After Manchester United Draw: “We Lost 2 Points” – Press Conference Insight

In the 3rd week of the UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe drew 1-1 at home against Manchester United. After the match, Mourinho shared his thoughts, stating that they put on a good performance but dropped 2 points.

Here are Mourinho’s comments:

“The only thing I can say about the red card is this: I’ll probably be moving to a team that isn’t involved in UEFA competitions after Fenerbahçe. The team put on an amazing performance. I congratulate the players and the fans. We were clearly the better side. They had only one shot in the first half. Onana made some great saves in the first half. We are in a difficult situation because, on top of the injured players, we have those who are not listed for the competition.

Normally, I would say 1 point is good against Manchester United, but under these conditions, we lost 2 points.

OSAYI-SAMUEL’S INJURY

Osayi got cramps in his leg. He came from poor conditions in Libya. He performed very well while on the pitch.”

“TURKISH MEDIA ISN’T HAPPY BECAUSE WE PLAYED WELL”

Meanwhile, Mourinho responded to a question in the press conference: “Fenerbahçe played defensively after taking the lead in the last league match. What changed in 3-4 days?”

“That’s not true. After going up 2-1, we missed some chances. We played 5 minutes with 10 men. I don’t know why you’re asking this. Maybe the Turkish media isn’t happy because we played well today, but I’m very happy. It’s a good feeling to drop 2 points against a team like Manchester United. That means we played well.”

“IF WE PLAY LIKE THIS, WE WILL WIN EVERY MATCH IN THE SUPER LIG”

The Portuguese coach added that if they play the same way in the Super Lig, they will win every match.

“NO GOALKEEPER IN THE TURKISH LEAGUE CAN MAKE THE SAVES ONANA DID”

Mourinho emphasized that Manchester United is far better than teams in the Super Lig, saying, “Today, we played against a team much better than our opponents in the Turkish league. We’re on the right track. There’s no goalkeeper in the Turkish league who can make the saves Onana did. I don’t think there are wingers like Garnacho and Rashford in the Super Lig,” he said.

Here are more of Mourinho’s statements:

“I know the English media. They’ll say ‘Manchester United didn’t play well, they didn’t have shots,’ but why? Because their opponent was very good. My players deserved credit.”

RED CARD

“If I object to the red card I got, I’ll get a 6-month suspension. It’s been like this since the final we played against Sevilla.”

CENK TOSUN COMMENTS

“I feel sorry for Cenk Tosun. He’s really working hard. I can’t give him the minutes he deserves. I’m playing Dzeko and En-Nesyri, but I can’t play Cenk. I feel sorry for players like him who work hard but don’t get chances, but his time will come.”
