“MOURINHO’S LATEST INVENTION”
In an article titled “Mourinho‘s Latest Invention: Oğuz Aydın,” the Spanish newspaper Marca provided detailed insights into the 24-year-old’s early days at Fenerbahçe:
“Under Mourinho’s management, he initially seemed misplaced. He started the season as a backup for new signing Allan Saint-Maximin, was excluded from the Europa League squad, and played just 22 minutes in the first 12 league matches. However, his fortunes shifted dramatically during an international break in a friendly against Zenit [2-1 victory].”
“A POTENTIAL TURNING POINT”
The article highlighted Aydın’s impact on the team:
“His inclusion in the starting eleven could be a turning point for Fenerbahçe’s season. In his debut start against Kayserispor, he needed just 26 minutes to score two goals and provide an assist in a 6-2 victory. Aydın played so well that he replaced Saint-Maximin in this match too, and he did not disappoint. Just three minutes into the game against Gaziantep FK, he scored the opening goal in the 3-1 victory.”
“HE DID EVERYTHING WELL”
Marca praised Aydın’s versatility:
“He did everything… and almost everything well. A right-footed winger capable of playing on the left, Aydın demonstrated his ability in three different positions—right wing, left wing, and even left-back. Mourinho, proud of his latest ‘invention,’ didn’t shy away from boasting about it.”
“MOURINHO’S DIG AT GALATASARAY”
The article also referenced Mourinho’s sly remark:
“I think the team that didn’t sign him will be unhappy. We brought him in at the last minute.” The comment was interpreted in Turkey as a jab at Galatasaray.
Marca added that Aydın had also been linked to clubs like Beşiktaş and Ajax. His stint at Alanyaspor, where he played 42 games, scored nine goals, and provided two assists, showcased his potential. Ajax coach Farioli, who had previously worked with Aydın, reportedly wanted to bring him to Amsterdam.
