The game is over and Lille won the game. It was a game in which Lille's players put a lot of pressure on Fenerbahce's defense. Throughout the half, they didn't let Fenerbahce's players rest, they didn't let Fenerbahce's players have space to attack or even counterattack. It seemed that Lille was willing to settle the game in the first leg. Unfortunately, Fenerbahce's defense made some mistakes that resulted in the first goal. Recovering the disadvantage was not an easy task for Fenerbahce. They only managed to score one goal in the 79th minute and it seemed that the game would end in a draw, which would be a very good scenario for Mourinho. But once again, Fenerbahce's defense made another mistake that allowed Lille to score a goal in the 90th minute +1 minute. In this type of high-level competition, there are mistakes that a team's defense cannot make. and now with this disadvantage it will be very difficult for Mourinho's team to reverse the result at home in the second leg.
I keep telling everyone, the Mourinho style of "park the bus" isn't as good as it used to be, hence why he sucked at United if you ask me (some say he was fine) and his roma period looked great on European competitions but they were secondary and third level competitions. This is champions league, teams that wants to go to UCL group stages will be quite high level and I think it's easy to predict that we are not going to get anything big from Mourinho if he keeps playing the same method, Roma time had trouble with league games too, just because of this reason.
I understand that he has this idea of lay back and only attack and preserve energy which makes other teams tired by the end and his teams more active during second half, but it may not work against better teams. This isn't to mean that Lille will win, second game could be a win for Fenerbahce, just saying it is not that easy to handle this.
I also agree with you, Mourinho needs to change his playing style, he needs to focus much more on attack than on defense. If he had invested more in Fenerbahce's attack then in this first leg game he wouldn't just be playing defense and being under a lot of pressure. He would have been playing in attack and would have forced the opponent to play in defense and Fenerbahce would probably be able to come out of that game with victory. but unfortunately he played more in defense, allowing the opponent to dominate the game and score 2 goals. I very much doubt that in the second leg Fenerbahce will be able to come out with a victory that reverses the entire tie and allows Fenerbahce to move on to another phase of this competition. in my opinion fenerbahce will be eliminated
Yes, I'm a Fenerbahçe fan.
However we couldn't get an advantageous result in the first leg yesterday. But I can't say we didn't deserve it either. Because I didn't like our performance especially in defense. We had these issues from the start against Lugano. Mourinho's presence still makes me believe more. I hope we can turn things around in Istanbul. We will need to be more precise with finishing at the same time because we also wasted big chances.
This season, it's will be rough for Fenerbahçe because they will encounter fierce oppositions that wouldn't take it easy on them. They will have the to mount pressure if they're to stand on their ground. I'm not a fan of Turkish clubs because I'm not concerned regarding the status of the clubs performance and I based more on the european clubs. José Mourinho have done his best to his capabilities and ensuring the stability of Fenerbahçe.
These Fenerbhace defense players have made a lot of mistakes during the games in this competition, I thought they would do better after the serious mistakes they made in the first leg game against Lugano, but unfortunately they didn't improve at all. And the Champions League games are games in which teams cannot make the types of mistakes that Fenerbhace's defenders make
