J:dared Mourinho He was praising Athletic ahead of the Europa League tie, the Portuguese showed his kindest and happiest side in the hours before the clash against the red and whites, but after the game his face completely changed with the arrival of Ernesto Valverde and it was time for the Portuguese to address the media: to assess the defeat of the red-whites, in the fight in which from the stands there were whistles at the local team.
Unfair result in the first half. “The team played well in the first half. Samet also played well after the mistake. We were better in the first half. “However, 1-0 was not a fair result and 2-0 was like a stab in the chest.”
Good first part. “We started the game very well, our opponent had difficulties. Then we made a mistake and the situation changed. After that we continued to play well in the first half. Suddenly it was 2-0 with a shot, and everything became difficult. We made changes, but after the dismissal it was game over for us.”
Whistles in the stadium. “I don’t think there was a reaction in the first half because Samet (Akaydin) made that mistake. These reactions are sad, but I don’t criticize the reaction of the fans. They are the basis of everything. I don’t criticize his reaction, but Samet didn’t make a mistake, the team made a mistake.
Damaged dressing room. “Fans are sad, but not more than us. Amateurs may have feelings, but we are professionals. We may be sad, but we must remain calm.”
