I don't understand why Mourinho didn't make any substitutions from the 75th minute until the final minutes. The team was so tired they couldn't run anymore, but he didn't make any substitutions until the 87th minute.
Fenerbahçe will face Benfica in the next round, and this time it will be tougher for them.
Mourinho is used to this strategy, I remember sticking with this style of play.
Opting for substitution during the last minutes although it wasn't good plan but I guess we could say he thought they have won already after getting that number of goals differences, guess they didn't expect a comeback and it still work well for them.
Benfica will be cautious of them after their game tonight.
I watched the Benfica vs Nice match, and I think Benfica will be the favorite in their game against Fenerbahçe.
Six minutes before the end of the match, Benfica brought on Kerem Aktürkoğlu.
Kerem is linked with a move to Fenerbahçe, it’s said that Kerem and Fenerbahçe have already agreed on terms and the only thing left is for Fenerbahçe to reach an agreement with Benfica. If they do, Kerem will join Fenerbahçe.
Since he played for Benfica last night, he will not be eligible to play in the Benfica vs Fenerbahçe match.
There are two weeks left until the game and it will be interesting to see what kind of transfers Fenerbahçe will make during this period.
There were rumors that Benfica would play Kerem yesterday to avoid a rivalry after selling him to Fenerbahçe, and that's exactly what happened.
Let's see if the rumors are true.
And the match isn't in two weeks, my friend; it's next week, Wednesday.
Nice was ineffective in both matches. Watching the match on TV, I was wondering if I should place a live bet. I almost bet on over 3.5 goals, but I decided against it. The match was entertaining and exciting, but two more goals weren't scored.
Benfica are a better and more organized team than Fenerbahçe. They're the favorites against us. Our task in this round is difficult.
