Mourinho takes a dig at Galatasaray over yellow cards

In the 24th week of the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe defeated Kasımpaşa 3-1 at home with goals from En-Nesyri (2) and Oğuz Aydın. With this result, the Yellow-Navies reduced the point gap with league leaders Galatasaray to 3 points, with a game in hand. All eyes at Fenerbahçe are now on the upcoming derby.

The Yellow-Navies' manager, Jose Mourinho, took a dig at Galatasaray in response to a question during the post-match press conference.

"We are not experts in controlling yellow cards," Mourinho said. "We are not experts in intentionally getting yellow cards to clear them for players on the verge of suspension. We just play our game."

Regarding the derby on February 24, which will capture everyone's attention, the Portuguese manager commented, "The Galatasaray match is just one match."

Adding that the impact of Jose Mourinho on the team will be seen when trophies are won, the Portuguese coach stated:

"That is how I define myself and my goals. We are currently in 3 tournaments; we are alive in the Europa League. It will be difficult to win the trophy there. But we set our goals step by step. We made it out of the group stage and we want to pass the round against Anderlecht. We are in a good position in the Turkish Cup, but we have one more match. Under normal circumstances in the league, we should have been 8-9 points ahead of the second-place team, but we are currently 6 points behind the leader. We will see this impact throughout my 2-year contract. So let's try to achieve something together this year."
