The emblem of the coaching profession in football, Jose Mourinho, said nice words about his colleague Stanimir Stoilov and Bulgaria.
The Portuguese-led Fenerbahce trailed 2-0, but Murray’s Goztepe took a point with a 2-2 home and second-round tie in the Turkish elite.
“All the people from Bulgaria that I know are good. We spoke with Stoilov before and after the match. I like his style and have respect for him,” said Mourinho.
“I can call this situation with the equalizer unfortunate. It’s happening to us for the third time. We have to learn to close the games earlier. In the second half we made mistakes, we had opportunities to score a third goal, but we didn’t succeed. I’m the one who he has to adapt to Turkish football, not him to me,” he commented on the meeting.
“The match was like a football war on the pitch. Both teams gave everything to win. I think we deserved the draw in the last minutes.
I would also like to thank our fans who have given us incredible support today. When we are depleted with them, we can change any match. We can always achieve what we want. This was really important for us,” said Stoilov.
