'I MADE A MISTAKE COMING TO FENERBAHÇE!'
Speaking about his Fenerbahçe period at his first press conference with his new team, Mourinho said: "For me, the context is to be a manager at one of the biggest clubs in the world. My career was rich, I was a manager in different countries, I made a wrong decision but I don't regret it. But I am aware of what we did well and what we did badly. I made a mistake by going to Fenerbahçe, but I did my best until the last day.
'THE CLUB MADE 5 TRANSFERS AFTER MY DEPARTURE'
'My job was easy at Fenerbahçe. I wanted to play with a four-man defense but the club made five transfers after I left. This was not possible when I was there. You have to adapt to what you have. I praised Benfica's squad then and I will praise it again.
'We can't always win, but we can't lose like we did two days ago. The real Benfica is the one that achieved a positive result against Fenerbahce in Istanbul despite playing 30 minutes in Istanbul with one man less. That's Benfica in my eyes.
'ZAMAN HER ÅEYÄ° GÖSTERECEK'
