Jose Mourinho’s Controversial Post-Derby Comment: “Stupid!”

Fenerbahçe Manager Jose Mourinho made striking statements following his team’s 3-1 derby loss to Galatasaray.

Emphasizing that they started the derby at a high tempo, the Portuguese coach shared his thoughts on the match:

“It May Seem Stupid, But…”

“We started the game quickly, dominated, but it doesn’t matter. After 3-1, we risked everything, but it still didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how many chances we missed. We only scored from the penalty spot. They won because they scored more goals than us. It may sound like a stupid answer, but that’s the truth: They scored more goals.”

Comments on Amrabat and En-Nesyri

“This is football. Amrabat was outstanding in the second half. He played great as a false center-back and provided the fluidity we lacked in the first half. Irfan and En-Nesyri did their best too. En-Nesyri had chances but couldn’t score. I won’t accept blaming the substitutes. The opponent scored from two throw-ins; that’s our fault, not theirs.”
