Fenerbahce’s Fred, who continues to prepare for the new season at Topk Yairas Facilities, spoke to FB TV.
Here are Fred’s words.
It’s always nice to be with you. We started working as you said. We’ve had a good start. Preseason is always difficult. It’s not easy coming back from vacation but we’re doing our best to be ready for the season.
Mourinho comments
I worked with Mourinho at Manchester United. He took me there himself. Everyone knows how good a coach he is. It’s a very big name. He has the mentality to always want to win. I’m very happy to work with him. We want to be champions on all tracks because we have a long season ahead of us. We want to win everything. We want to be in the Champions League and we want to be champions in the league. Mourinho is also a person with this mentality. We are working very well and we are trying to go forward with confidence because we have a long season ahead of us.
Important seasons
Working with him is going very well. As I said, he is a big name. The training is full and intense. We have long training sessions, but it has to be like this. An important season starts. We have made a good start. This is very important for us because we need to be in good shape. We want to make a good start to the season.
What we need to do…
Our mentality is always to win every game and we have to want it anyway. We have a good team. We have a good squad and players. Of course, we are always hoping for new friends to help the team. We have to always keep our heads up and keep fighting because we know what we are capable of. We know that we can do good things and get into the Champions League. We already have a good team. All we have to do is fight. We have to put this mentality into practice and fight.
Of course, we have to be aggressive on the field and in the game because we fight and we play to win every game. Personally, I hate losing. I want to win every game we play. We will do everything to do that. I want to win a lot of things. This would be great for me and for the fans, but we have to fight.
Let’s celebrate together
First of all, I want to thank our fans. Wherever we go, they always follow us, they are always with us. We had something like this last year. They always had that spirit, even in the bad times. They stood by us and followed us. I am grateful to them. We will fight together again this year. We want to win a trophy that is very important for them. I am sure we will win a trophy and celebrate together. “
