On January 20th, Beijing time, the 20th round of the Turkish Super League saw Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce face off against Demir Sport away from home. The two teams drew 0-0 in the first half, but a substitution by Mourinho in the second half directly changed the course of the game, helping the team increase their attacking power and secure victory, narrowing the gap with Galatasaray. With a 4-0 win, Mourinho's strategic substitution saw Fenerbahce score four goals in 22 minutes, achieving four consecutive victories and closing the gap to the top by six points, while also praising Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Mourinho lined up in a 3142 formation for this match, with Egribayat in goal, Melkan, Jiku, and Milder as the three central defenders, Fred as the single holding midfielder, and four teammates in front of him: Kostic, Simanski, Kahveci, and Adin. Dzeko and Ennesri formed the double forward line. Fenerbahce's starting lineup was valued at 94 million euros, while the opponent's starting lineup was valued at 7.8 million euros. Despite Fenerbahce's superior strength, they struggled to break the deadlock. In the 56th minute of the game, Demir Sport player Balaci was sent off, giving Fenerbahce a numerical advantage. In the 66th minute, Mourinho's substitution proved decisive as he brought on Tadic to replace Adin, and it was Tadic's introduction that revitalized Fenerbahce's attack.

For Coach Mourinho, as a top-level coach, his decision to manage the Turkish Super League team Fenerbahçe this season was indeed a matter of last resort. He originally had no preference for going to such a lower-tier league. However, there were no top-tier teams extending invitations to him during the summer, leaving him with no choice but to transition in the Turkish Super League. During his half-season coaching in the Turkish Super League, Mourinho has also offended many people. In public, he repeatedly mocked the league for being unstandardized and managed by some "trash" referees. His team has been subjected to multiple misjudgments, and these actions have angered quite a few fans. Everyone believes that Mourinho's days in the Turkish Super League will not be long, otherwise, he wouldn't openly clash with the league officials like this. However, Mourinho has now revealed his next destination, which is a return to the Champions League giants, specifically Newcastle United, who have performed well this season. The big boss behind Newcastle has always hoped to sign Mourinho as their head coach. The prince is also a fan of Mourinho and wishes to collaborate with him. But previously, while coaching at Roma, Mourinho did not choose to come here; now, with the opportunity, they can naturally complete a collaboration. Newcastle currently boasts a top Premier League star, Isaac, who has delivered top-notch performances this season. Whether it's goal-scoring statistics or passing, he is considered top-level. With Mourinho joining forces with this top striker, there is indeed hope to continue the push for the Premier…

After leaving Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remained unemployed for a long time, with some speculating that he might retire from coaching altogether. However, the 51-year-old has now returned to the field. According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Solskjaer has agreed to coach the Turkish Super League giants Besiktas. During his playing career, Solskjaer only played for two teams: Norway's Molde club and the English Premier League's Manchester United. He spent a total of 11 years at Manchester United. In 2007, Solskjaer retired from Manchester United and subsequently began his coaching career. In December 2018, following Jose Mourinho's departure, Solskjaer became the interim manager of Manchester United. Due to his remarkable achievements, he was soon appointed as the permanent manager. In November 2021, Solskjaer was relieved of his duties, concluding nearly three years as the head coach of Manchester United. After leaving Manchester United, Solskjaer seemed to have lost interest in coaching, rejecting offers from multiple clubs. In interviews, he stated that he is not short of money and would not compromise himself for financial reasons. There were reports that Solskjaer only wanted to coach Manchester United and the Norwegian national team, disregarding other teams. Now, Solskjaer has changed his mind. Under the persistent invitation of Besiktas, Solskjaer has terminated his contract. Romano reported that Solskjaer will travel to Turkey today to sign a contract with Besiktas, with the agreement set to last until June 2026. This season, Besiktas' performance has been less than ideal, currently ranking sixth in the Turkish Super League, trailing the top by a significant 20…

In the 19th round of the Turkish Super League, Fenerbahce turned the tide after conceding a goal just one minute into the game. They eventually won 3-2 against Konyaspor, securing all three points. This victory marks their fourth unbeaten match in the league and their fifth unbeaten match in recent competitions. Mourinho's consecutive victories have kept the championship suspense alive for Fenerbahce! In this match, Mourinho once again deployed his signature double-striker starting tactic, which he originally implemented during his time at Roma. During his tenure at Roma, Mourinho frequently used the double-striker tactic, accumulating top strikers like Abraham, Belotti, and Lukaku to lead the charge for the team. Under Mourinho's leadership, Roma was known for its solid defense, which is a stark contrast to the current Fenerbahce team. In his second year at Roma, seasoned fans will recall that when Mourinho's team took a 1-0 lead, the match was as good as over. This was one of the main reasons why Mourinho favored the double-striker tactic at the time! Now at Fenerbahce, Mourinho has reintroduced the double-striker tactic. In this match, En-Nesyri and Dzeko started together, leading the charge for Fenerbahce! In previous matches, only one of Fenerbahce's two strikers could start, but with En-Nesyri recently rediscovering his scoring touch, Mourinho has restarted the double-striker tactic at a crucial time when Fenerbahce needs consecutive league victories to catch up in points. The intention is clear: the team must score goals to secure all three points, and the double-striker system is undoubtedly the best approach for Mourinho's team to conquer…

Mourinho, as one of the top coaches in world football, has always enjoyed tremendous popularity and status. However, what surprised everyone was that after coaching Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super League this season, he also encountered major problems. In the Turkish Super League, they have been lagging behind their old rivals Galatasaray. This situation also made Mourinho realize that it would be difficult for him to win the championship if he continued to lead the team in the Turkish Super League. Mourinho also had multiple conflicts with the referees of the Turkish Super League this season, questioning the refereeing standards in public. He believes that this is the worst league in the world. Mourinho's remarks did indeed come as a surprise to Fenerbahce. They are also hesitating whether to continue letting Mourinho coach the team, because the salary paid to him by Fenerbahce and the transfer fees given to him are top-level in the Turkish Super League. But Mourinho has not delivered on his coaching ability, which is why fans and club management are dissatisfied. Therefore, there have been many rumors about Mourinho possibly returning to the European leagues, as the owner of Newcastle has always been a fan of Mourinho. He also hopes to cooperate with Mourinho, so he has sent out invitations many times. However, Mourinho did not accept the invitation at that time because he was still coaching Rome. But now it seems that Mourinho really has a chance to complete a move. Newcastle is also willing to give him a top transfer fee of 200 million…

Jose Mourinho, known as the "Special One," has always been recognized as a tactical master in the football world. His ability to make quick decisions and execute brilliant substitutions has earned him widespread acclaim. Whether at smaller clubs or larger ones, Mourinho has consistently demonstrated his ability to innovate and adapt, often surpassing even Pep Guardiola in this regard. This season, despite significant investment in strengthening their squad, Fenerbahce faces stiff competition from Galatasaray, a team whose dominance in the Turkish Super League is akin to that of Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Currently, the reigning champions lead the league with an undefeated record and 50 points. However, in the 19th round of the Turkish Super League, Fenerbahce managed to turn a 0-1 deficit into a 3-2 victory over Konyaspor, securing all three points and maintaining their unbeaten streak of four matches. With 42 points, they continue to apply pressure on the league leaders. The long season still offers opportunities for Mourinho's team to challenge for the title. Mourinho once again deployed his signature double-striker tactic, with En-Nesyri and Dzeko leading the attack. This strategy not only maximizes the team's attacking potential but also frees up space on the flanks and midfield. However, it also places considerable strain on the defense, which has been a persistent issue for Fenerbahce. Throughout the match, the team's possession rate was only 50%, and the presence of two strikers makes it challenging to implement a possession-based playing style. This approach is a double-edged sword, but it does ensure a higher goal-scoring rate. Few coaches…

This season, Mourinho has led Fenerbahçe to great success, ranking second in the Turkish Super League. He is doing what he has always been good at, which is leading small-market teams to achieve excellent rankings. As a man who has won the Champions League twice, he is not comparable to coaches who are just blooming in the greenhouse area. Mourinho has once again proven himself in the Turkish Super League. This is already the fourth league he has switched to. When it comes to the competition for the world's number one coach, he and Guardiola are always the topics that cannot be avoided, and currently, it seems that Mourinho has taken the lead by one step over Guardiola. Because Guardiola has always coached top teams, whether it was during the Barcelona Dream Three dynasty, the prestigious Bayern Munich, or the newly emerging Manchester City in the Premier League, his teams have always had top-level players. Mourinho, on the other hand, first led the little-known team Porto to win the Champions League, then welcomed the treble at Inter Milan, followed by taking over Real Madrid, who were eliminated in the round of 16 every year in the Champions League, and then moving on to Manchester United. The teams he went to, even if they were top clubs, were in their low periods. And he helped all these teams complete their rebuilding, he is simply a genius coach. The value of Mourinho's second place in the league with Manchester United is still rising. I wonder if there is any coach now who…

Fenerbahçe successfully defeated Hatayspor with a score of 2-1 in the 18th round of the Turkish Super League. This victory was absolutely crucial for Fenerbahçe, especially given the current tense situation in the league. Despite Hatayspor being mired in the relegation zone, Mourinho's team did not let their guard down. Ultimately, En-Nesyri scored twice to save the day, helping Fenerbahçe secure these valuable three points. En-Nesyri's performance in this match was truly impressive. With a transfer fee close to 20 million euros, he had only managed to score one goal in his first 11 league matches after joining Fenerbahçe. This statistic was clearly disappointing and led the team and fans to question the value of this signing. However, En-Nesyri has now shattered external doubts with his brace, proving himself. It can be said that his contribution in this game, aside from helping the team secure all three points, also greatly stabilized Mourinho's position. This victory is not only significant for Fenerbahçe but also had an important impact on the leaderboard. Currently, Fenerbahçe has accumulated 39 points and remains firmly in second place in the league, with an 8-point gap from the top team, Galatasaray. Although the gap with Galatasaray is still considerable, if Fenerbahçe can maintain their recent form, especially by strengthening the squad through winter transfers, they definitely have a chance to catch up. The Turkish Super League consists of a total of 38 rounds, and an 8-point gap is not an insurmountable chasm. Overall, Mourinho's first year in the Turkish Super League has been challenging, particularly with Galatasaray's…

In this article, we discuss the recent performance of Chinese women's basketball player Li Yueyu in the Turkish Women's Basketball League (TBL). Li Yueyu, known as a pillar and dominant force in the paint for the Chinese national team, faced a challenging match where her team, Galatasaray, narrowly lost to Fenerbahce in a top-of-the-table clash. Despite starting the game and playing for 25 minutes, scoring 8 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and contributing with 3 assists and 3 blocks, her performance did not meet expectations given the high stakes of the game. During the match, Li Yueyu often moved up to set screens for her teammates, resulting in few successful possessions after the pick-and-roll. Her offensive efficiency was low, and she missed several close-range shots, leaving fans puzzled as to why she wasn't capitalizing on her strengths under the basket. Even though she played with a knee injury from a previous game against Ormanspor, the impact was minimal, and the European professional system typically doesn't allow severely injured players to play for extended periods. A critical moment came in the fourth quarter when the coach substituted Li Yueyu out, only to bring her back in the last 7 seconds to contest a free-throw rebound. This decision left fans questioning the coach's strategy, especially during a time when the team needed their star player's contribution. The root of the problem lies with Li Yueyu herself. Upon receiving the ball, her reaction suggested that she didn't fully embrace her role as a key player, often moving up to set screens instead of utilizing…

Recently, the sudden departure of Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team's foreign player, Fyodorovtseva, has caused a stir in the professional volleyball world. This player, considered the core of the team, disregarded her contract and returned to Turkey to join her former team, Fenerbahçe, casting a shadow over Shanghai's season. This incident not only left fans puzzled but also raised questions about the binding force of contracts and the invulnerability of standardized management in professional sports. To understand why Fyodorovtseva left Shanghai, we must first look at her past. The 21-year-old Russian player was already a key player for Fenerbahçe before joining Shanghai. As one of the hottest foreign players in the Turkish league, she had won numerous honors for Fenerbahçe. Her explosive power and offensive capabilities made her a rising star on the European stage. However, this "return" is clearly not just driven by emotion. It is well-known that the Turkish volleyball league has attracted many international top players in recent years with its generous salaries, high-quality competitive environment, and strong competitive atmosphere. In contrast, although the Chinese Super League is also on the rise, it still cannot compete with the Turkish Super League in terms of salary levels or exposure. Perhaps Fyodorovtseva chose to return to Fenerbahçe because it offers a higher platform and even more economic benefits. Nevertheless, professional sports are a realm governed by rules. Even with a better platform, breaking a contract mid-way inevitably raises doubts about her professional attitude. What other reasons might be behind this? Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team quickly responded to the incident, accusing…
