Jose Mourinho talks about his squad choices

Fenerbahçe's coach Jose Mourinho, who will be visiting Galatasaray in the big derby in the 25th week of the Trendyol Super League, talked about his choice of Çağlar Söyüncü instead of Amrabat in the first 11.

Speaking to beIN Sports before the match, Jose Mourinho said:

"If you don't respect your opponent and don't think about the opponent, you will only be well prepared in terms of your own game. If you lose your own identity, you cannot reflect your potential on the field. We take both into consideration. We are going out with a balanced team. We have great options on the bench. We want to play our own game to win the match.

"Everyone in the team is important, the integrity of the team is important. You have to defend well, you have to score goals. If you can't score goals, you can't win the game, if you concede too many goals, you lose the game. That's why we're going out on the field with a balanced squad today."
