Mourinho: I have played 2 European finals in the past 7 years, more than Turkish football history

May 27th In the 37th round of the Turkish Super League, 10-player Fenerbahce lost to Hathapolis 2-4, and is still ranked second in the Turkish Super League. After the game, Fenerbahce coach Mourinho attended the press conference and was asked that Fenerbahce had not played in the Champions League for many years.

Mourinho replied:

In the past 7 years, I have reached two finals in European competitions. This means that I have participated in the European finals in the past seven years than at any time in Turkish football history. Yes, it has been about 21 years since I took Porto to win the championship. But in these 7 years, I still reached the finals in the European arena.

In fact, Fenerbahce also worked hard and worked hard for the Champions League qualification last summer. But that summer was tough for us. We have players participating in the European Cup and players who have delayed return to the team. As always, Turkish clubs always struggle to complete signings early, so we have to fight these difficulties.

Last summer, we fought for the penalty shootout for the Champions League qualification, but was eliminated by Lille 120 minutes later. If someone asks, "Do you want to participate in the Champions League more than the Europa League or the Europa League?" Of course I want to. Because of this, we will fight for the Champions League qualification again this summer. We need to play a qualifying round first, and then the play-offs. We must prepare for these key games as fully as possible.
