Fenerbahçe finds the players it was looking for on the bench: Mourinho gives full marks!

Fenerbahçe, which hosted Zenit at Ülker Stadium during the international break, won the match 2-1.

Mourinho gave chances to players who have not found much playing time in official matches during this special encounter.

Among these players, Levent Mercan and Oğuz Aydın stood out in particular.

Levent Mercan, who has played only 10 minutes in the Süper Lig so far, refreshed his confidence by finding the back of the net against Zenit.

After the goal, Mourinho ran onto the pitch to congratulate his player. Mercan, who remained on the field throughout the match, touched the ball 61 times and completed 93.3% of his 79 passes accurately.

The 23-year-old footballer, who also displayed an effective game in defense, successfully completed 2 of his 3 tackle attempts and came out on top in 4 of his 6 duels.

Oğuz Aydın also delivered a successful performance, earning the appreciation of the technical staff. The young player, who stayed on the pitch for 85 minutes, touched the ball 50 times and achieved an 89.3% accuracy rate on his 28 passes. Additionally, he stood out with his competitive play, winning 10 of the 13 duels he entered.

It has been stated that after these performances from his two players, Jose Mourinho is considering giving more playing time to Levent Mercan and Oğuz Aydın following the international break.

However, Fenerbahçe continues its search for a left-back in Italy's Serie A through Sporting Director Mario Branco.
