Congratulations to Mourinho! Congratulations to Fenerbahce! Fenerbahce, playing at home, did not disappoint the fans in the end. Mourinho faced his old club Manchester United and the game ended in a 1-1 draw! Fenerbahce fought back to equalize the score after falling behind. In the Europa League group stage, they won one and drew two in three games, and they still have the hope of qualifying. After this game, Ten Hag only won one game in the last 11 European games, setting a shameful record and entering the countdown to his dismissal!
Fenerbahce had a possession rate of 61% in the first half and 52% in the whole game! You should know that the total value of the Fenerbahce team is only 226 million euros, while the total value of Manchester United is as high as 854 million euros! Mourinho’s Fenerbahce did not choose the so-called “bus football”, but fought a battle against Manchester United at home!
In this match, the shots of both sides were 10-12 for Fenerbahce, and the shots on target were 5-5! The reason why Fenerbahce had a high possession rate and dominated the offense was because Manchester United scored the first goal: just 15 minutes into the game, Eriksen scored and Fenerbahce fell behind at home! After scoring in this match, Eriksen has directly participated in four goals in the three Europa League games this season, and he has contributed in every game.
Mourinho then began to adjust and deploy top-level all-out attack tactics. His efforts paid off. With Mourinho’s active attack, En-Nesri helped Fenerbahce equalize the score! The two sides ended up in a draw!
Mourinho was sent off for his passion, and Ten Hag was in an awkward situation
This match is the 7th match between Manchester United and Fenerbahce. In the first 6 matches, both sides won 3 games each. Today, they tied for the first time in history. In the second half, there was a controversial scene. Fenerbahce coach Mourinho was shown a red card and sent to the audience because he protested on the sidelines that the referee did not award a penalty.
Back to the game, Ugarte had a slight contact with a Fenerbahce player in the penalty area. Speaking of the penalty, Mourinho said after the game: I still think it was a penalty. Of course, Mourinho’s protest was not big, perhaps just because he is Mourinho, the most controversial one, the most special one!
After this match, Manchester United has 4 draws and 2 losses in the past 6 European matches. The last time they failed to win 6 consecutive European matches was between 1980 and 1983. This season, Manchester United took the lead in all three European matches, but ultimately failed to win. In the last 11 European matches, Manchester United only won 1 game!
This season, the Red Devils have a winning rate of only 31% in all competitions. Manchester United is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League and has a hard time winning in European competitions. Ten Hag is entering the countdown to his dismissal!
