Fenerbahçe has recorded 19 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses in the 25 league matches they have played this season. They are 4 points behind league leaders Galatasaray and 14 points ahead of 3rd-placed Samsunspor.
Fenerbahçe lost 3-1 at home to Scottish side Rangers in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 on Thursday. However, Fenerbahçe fans will not be able to turn their attention back to the Turkish league just yet.
The yellow-navy team does not have a match in the Süper Lig this week as they have a bye. Fenerbahçe will play two consecutive matches against Rangers.
For this reason, Fenerbahçe began preparations on Friday for the away match against Rangers.
The training session, conducted under the management of Jose Mourinho, began with core exercises in the gym. The session was completed with endurance runs following warm-up and agility programs. Players who started in the first 11 against Rangers completed the training with a recovery session.
"We cannot say the tie is over. If I said that, I would be stupid"
Speaking after the Fenerbahçe-Rangers match, the Rangers manager said, “The tie is definitely not over. We got a great result, but we can describe this as halftime. I always respect Mourinho. He is one of the best managers of all time. They have very high-quality players, so we cannot say the tie is over. If I said that, I would be stupid.”
"Don't celebrate too much, there is still a 2nd match"
Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho said after the Rangers match, “They defended as well as they could. When they were poor in defense, their goalkeeper made great saves. They were effective on the counter-attacks. They won the duels. My only advice to Rangers is don't celebrate too much because there is a 2nd match, it is not over yet.”
