Jose Mourinho Reacts to UEFA Suspension: “I Wanted to Send a Message to Our Fans”
Fenerbahçe head coach Jose Mourinho was unable to be with his team during the match against Midtjylland. Watching the game from the stands, Mourinho expressed his frustration over UEFA’s suspension.
Fenerbahçe faced Midtjylland in their final UEFA Europa League match, aiming to advance to the next round. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, securing Fenerbahçe‘s place in the play-off round. The Turkish side will face either Bodo/Glimt or Anderlecht in the next stage.
After the match, Jose Mourinho shared his thoughts:
Mourinho’s statements:
“As you know, I was suspended for this match due to this wonderful rule. I came here today to send a message to our fans. My players deserve this. Even if they hadn’t advanced, I would still be proud of them.
İsmail and Mert Hakan hadn’t played for a long time. Everyone fought brilliantly today. I believe the fans should be proud as well.
Everything has been difficult for us from the very beginning. Ferdi left at the last minute, and we couldn’t replace him. The players we registered got injured, while those we didn’t register were fit but couldn’t play.
Let’s enjoy this moment and rest. We have a tough match on Sunday.”
