I won't blame Jose Mourinho for Fenerbahce elimination. Mourinho needs to spend like a full season with Fenerbahce before his team can full implement his pattern of play. It is one thing for a coach to tell his players what to do and another thing is for the players to fully implement what the coach told them. Mourinho, just moved to the club so they shouldn't expect him to perform magic in a weak squad he inherited. Even if he has brought in players they will still need time to blend to his playing philosophy. One thing I know is that
Fenerbahce will be do well domestically to stand a better chance of playing in Europe next season. I know Mourinho can do this because he has done it several times.

In any case, Fenerbahce was very close to qualifying for the final, they had a lot of desire, mistakes in the first match, when they couldn't hold on to a draw, were fatal for them. They played better in the home match, but Lille paid a lot of attention to defense and it was very difficult to score against such a dense defense, Dzeko, by the way, played another match very uncertainly.

And of course, the penalty was very controversial, the defender removed his hand, and after it there was another defender and a goalkeeper, probably the referee didn't watch the Euro. Grin

I thought Fenerbahce would qualify for the next round. But Fenerbahçe's players learned from the mistakes of the first match. Also, I expected more organized gameplay from Fenerbahce players. But Mourinho has not been able to stabilize the team yet. Even though Fenerbahce's squad is quite strong, we are not seeing the expected performance from them.

However, Lille's players played very well in both matches. The team won the first match as well. In the second match as well, Lille's players are trying to dominate the match. A lot of powerful attacks were also made by Lille's players.
