In the 7th week of the UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe drew goalless with the French team Lyon, which it hosted. Making evaluations at the press conference held after the match, Fenerbahçe Coach Jose Mourinho said, “I must mention VAR. The referee gave a yellow card and did not call VAR in the position where he made a mistake. He is there to help the referee. If the referee had gone to VAR, he would have given a red card. I can accept referees making mistakes. But VAR is there to help the referees. VAR stepped in when the red card was issued, but did not do so in the previous position. Kumbedi fouled Szymanski in the second half. The same player had to be kicked twice. My colleague will also think that he will be lucky enough to remove Kumbedi from the game. Amrabat and Osayi are suspended. We will see how we will form a team there. Many combinations will be valid for 9 points to be sufficient. “We will go there (Midtjylland) to win, we will play to win,” he said.
“I don’t know anything about Maximin’s future”
Mourinho answered the question about the news that Maximin would leave the team as follows:
“As a player who hasn’t trained for three weeks, he showed his performance today. He doesn’t have the rhythm of the match. We needed everyone today. Also, İrfan Can had a yellow card. I was afraid he would see the second yellow card. I thought Maximin would play one on one and the players opposite him had yellow cards. He also created some positions. I don’t know anything about your future. “I don’t know anything about what will happen.”
“Yusuf is a player with great potential”
-When reminded of the call he made to the yellow-dark blue fans at the press conference held yesterday, Mourinho said, “Making requests from the fans is one thing, making comments is another. It is my duty to make a request. I’m doing it for Fenerbahçe. It’s not my job to comment on them. Yusuf’s performance is no surprise to me. He takes good care of himself and his body. He is always one of the first players to arrive and the last to leave during training. He is doing extra work. I couldn’t put him among the lions today by playing him at left back, it would be very difficult for him. I put him in a position where he felt comfortable. On the left, poor Sebastian provided the sacrifice. Yusuf is a very good player, a player with potential. “So it is not a surprise to me,” he said.
“I’m hopeful to tour”
A foreign member said, “You have experienced many wonderful nights in the European arena. Do you believe that there will be similar matches when you pass this tour?” To the question, Mourinho said, “We have a limited team. If we pass the round, there will be another team. It will be a completely separate team. Will 9 points be enough for the tour? Maybe yes, 10 points might be enough. Our job is difficult due to the squad limitation. I am not just talking about new players. Players who are not included in the UEFA list can also be included. We need to go step by step. There can be special atmospheres in the qualifying nights. After the final in Budapest, everything is in the past, just like in the Lille match. “It’s like the United match. It’s hard to understand. All I know is that we have a chance to qualify in the Midtjylland match. We don’t have a right-back or a midfielder, but we have 11 players to fight,” he said.
