Mourinho: I appreciate Lille's style of play

In the first leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, Fenerbahce lost 1-2 away to Lille. After the match, Mourinho was interviewed. Mourinho said: "At halftime (end of the first leg of the two-legged match), we are trailing 2-1. The match is not over yet; we will play the second half at our home ground in the two-legged match, so I say let's keep fighting."

"We cannot predict how the match will go; the outcome will be different. I don't think Lille will defend on our ground, as it's not their style. In the revenge match, we will have 40,000 spectators supporting us, which will also play an important role. It will be an exciting match."

"I appreciate Lille's style of play, and apart from the mistakes we made, I also like my team. I believe we can turn the situation around; we are used to being behind, we are used to conceding in the 5th or 10th minute and then turning things around. We look forward to the Super Lig match, and I will forget about the Lille match and start thinking about our league match on Saturday."
