Meeting Highlights...FENERBAHCE
We have respect for a big team like Fenerbahçe. We have been discussing their strengths in recent days.
...PREPARATION
The players have watched videos of the opponent, but not excessively. I always put more focus on our performance and what we can do.
...ABOUT MATCH
The key will be how we play as a collective and pay attention to one-on-one situations. On the other hand, we must seize our chances, as we have been doing this season.

Jose Mourinho
Manager on Fenerbahçe...OPPONENT
We have analyzed the opponent sufficiently. A very good and complex team. They fight well. A running team. They play organized in defense and attack. We watched these with the team and showed and explained them to our players. We are also a strong team. We have quality players. As I have said since the beginning of the tournament, our goal is to go as far as we can. We want to do our best in tomorrow's match and return to Istanbul with a good result.
...STARTING XI
I will put 11 players on the field to make the best use of the squad we have and to show the opponent our best fight with the players who can play the game I want here to get the result we want. We play a match every 3 days. We have a very important match at the weekend. The most important match for us is our match tomorrow. I aim to play tomorrow's match with the players with whom I can get the best results. We worked well on this issue as well.
...WE CARE
We came here with full staff. We couldn't bring in a few injured players. I've said the same thing since day one, I'm in the same place. We want to go as far as we can in this tournament. That means we care a lot about this tournament.
