On July 24th, Fenerbahçe defeated Lugano 4-3 in the first leg of the second round of the 2024/25 Champions League qualifying matches. After the game, Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho attended the press conference.
About the game
With the support of the fans, we won the first leg, and we want to advance to the next stage.
About the playing surface
Honestly, I didn’t want to say this before the game, but playing on artificial turf is really difficult. It’s hard for us to adapt to this kind of surface, and it’s unacceptable to play on such a surface in a game of this level in the Champions League.
About transfers
I am very satisfied with the support the club has given me in the transfer market. When I arrived, I didn’t ask the club for any kind of commitment. I wanted to have the best possible squad, and then the club gave me the best team. I think our squad is excellent, and some players are still on holiday. It’s a difficult phase, but everyone is gradually making progress. I think this is a great team, and I thank every player who has put in the effort.
