Aykut Kocaman: This year seemed to be that year. First of all, Fenerbahçe has achieved a serious atmosphere of peace with the election. This boosted everyone’s energy after a long time. Secondly, there was an election in the Turkish Football Federation right after this. It was a bad federation before this. It had no positive actions, it was an unpleasant federation. At least that’s what I can say personally. The change of the federation made some things acceptable for Fenerbahçe. Thirdly, an important coach like Jose Mourinho, who has a habit of winning trophies, came. There were no bad transfers. Galatasaray’s 5-0 defeat by Beşiktaş in the Super Cup was an advantage for Fenerbahçe. It seemed to be a season in which Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe would compete. I don’t know how it happened, but now there is an 8 point difference. From now on, Fenerbahçe must have an absolute winning streak. There also seems to be a decrease in the energy of the players. Fenerbahçe is currently at a very important turning point. If he can pass this corner, it looks like he will stay in the race. But this corner seems more difficult than last year.
Oguz Cetin: This is not the Jose Mourinho of our dreams. It needs to create more impact on the game and the player. Recently, I see that our coaches have fallen far behind in terms of communication and leadership.
Rıdvan Dilmen: Okan Buruk knows our league very well. Someone needs to explain this to Jose Mourinho. I think the problem is inside, not outside. Fenerbahçe needs emotion.
Aykut Kocaman: Foreign coaches who come here see themselves above and think it is easy. Then, when you see the difficulties here, you hit a wall. I don’t see Jose Mourinho’s current body language as confident as when he first arrived. He doesn’t look very healthy right now.
“WHY WAS MY NAME NOT MENTIONED”
Aykut Kocaman: I was away from Fenerbahçe for 6 years. There were many managerial crises in the 6 years after he left. I’m not saying I should have been. Coaches were sought from all over the world, but my name was not the only option. I repeat, I do not have any expectations, but I am trying to explain a situation. ‘Why not me?’ It’s not a question. I have no right to ask this. The answer to this will be given by the rulers of that day. It doesn’t have to be me, but if I can’t be one of the options with this CV, that’s a situation.
