On May 5, in the 34th round of the Turkish Super League (only 19 teams this season), a derby battle was staged. Fenerbahce played against Besiktas at home, which was also nicknamed the "Manchester United Derby" by fans because the coaches of both sides had coached this Premier League giant, but Fenerbahce lost to his opponent 0-1, and Mourinho lost to Solskjaer.

In the first round of this season, Fenerbahce lost to his opponent 0-1 away. This time, when they returned to their home court, they also had the opportunity to "revenge". Unexpectedly, Mourinho's old revenge has not been avenged and new hatred has been added.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Fenerbahce almost lost the ball. Talisca made a handball foul while defending in the penalty area. Fortunately, the goalkeeper saved the visiting team's penalty kick, and Fenerbahce escaped. However, the ball that should be lost is still lost. In the 44th minute, left-back Murdu headed the ball back in the backcourt, but he topped the ball to the visiting team's Redesson. The latter broke into the penalty area and easily scored. Besiktas was lucky to lead 1-0.

When everyone saw this missing goal, they were stunned because there were no offensive players around Murdu at that time. He had enough time to deal with the ball, but he did not expect that he made a mistake. After conceding the ball, Murdu blamed himself very much, but it was useless. In the second half, Fenerbahce attacked wildly, but unfortunately he failed to equalize the score in the end and had to lose 0-1 to his opponent. He was double-killed by Besiktas this season. After the game ended, Mourinho was very disappointed. After losing to Besiktas, Fenerbahce was 8 points behind Galatasaray, who was the top player. With only 4 rounds of games left, it was too difficult for Fenerbahce to turn the tables. It can be said that Mourinho's team has basically missed the championship.

The reason why Fenerbahce fell into this situation is directly related to their poor performance against strong teams. In the Turkish Super League, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas are recognized as the three giants. This season, Fenerbahce has won 3 losses, 1 draw and 0 wins in 4 games. Except for the away draw with Galatasaray, Fenerbahce lost all the other three games. If you can score more points in these games, Fenerbahce will not be so far behind by Galatasaray.

Last time, Mourinho led the team to win the league, which was in the 2014-2015 season. At that time, he went to the palace to coach Chelsea and finally won the Premier League championship. After that, he coached Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma for 10 years, and missed the league championship. This season, it is also difficult for Mourinho to win the league championship. Fortunately, although it is difficult to get a championship this season, Fenerbahce does not seem to have a change of coach. Mourinho still has at least one year to prove himself. If he misses the league championship in the season, he may have to leave!
