"Reporter, when will the question end... I'm falling asleep."
Jose Mourinho Fenerbahce was knocked down by a reporter's never-ending 'Jang Gwang-seol' after losing to Rangers (Scotland) led by interim coach Barry Ferguson by two goals in the first round of the Europa League round of 16 at home to Istanbul, Turkiye.
Mourinho's Fenerbahce lost 1-3 to Rangers in the first round of the Europa League round of 16 at 2:45 a.m. on the 7th (Korea time). After giving up the first goal to Dessus in the first six minutes, Chiku pushed in the equalizer in the 30th minute, but Cherny scored multiple goals in the 42nd minute and the 36th minute of the second half. The two-goal defeat is painful. A week later, it became a difficult situation to turn the game around in the second round of the away round of 16.
On this day, Fenerbahce recorded 23 shots and Rangers 8 shots, and Rangers led 7-6 in effective shooting. Although they staged a wave of attacks, Fenerbahce's defense line was shaken by Rangers' strong counterattack based on solid defense and could not avoid defeat.
There was a press conference in which Mourinho would not have been in a good mood, and a scene of 'laughing out' came out. Special One, you were like an issue maker. At the official press conference after the game, a long question came up that was never likely to end. Reporter Turkiye poured out questions about tactics for more than 45 seconds, including English interpretation, and Mourinho put his hands on his face with a unique expression and pretended to be asleep. He snored 'Drum' up to his nose. The content of the question conveyed through the interpretation was also exhausting. It is a very complex content, such as "'mistakes on the defensive line, reasons for replacement, changes in players in the back three starting line-up, reasons and evaluations', and Mourinho said "Oh… Too many questions to get into my head. I'm so tired." "It's really hard to listen to all these long questions one by one after the 90-minute game. I'm so tired." He shook his head repeatedly.
In the meantime, when asked what went wrong immediately after the home loss, Mourinho said "Everything." "We were very bad in every way. It's not fair to say that everything was bad in defense because it was bad." "It may be funny, but it's a good result for me. We could have had a bigger loss than this", admitted the coldly. "I had a chance to score, but I couldn't, and the dynamics of the midfield were not good and I made a huge mistake in defense. I couldn't control it.Rangers launched a brilliant and dangerous counterattack with a low block focusing on defense. So we deserve to be punished for this outcome."
Mourinho, however, was confident. "If someone asks me later if I think it's over now, I'll answer 'No, it's not over'" "There are still 90 or 120 minutes left. It's the only positive thing. There was no positive side at all in this game," he added. He then issued a warning to an opponent who was happy to win the away game. `The only advice I can give Rangers is not to celebrate too much because there is still the second game left,' he said, `If I have to celebrate after the second game, I will congratulate you, but calm down because it's not over yet.'
