Mourinho Sleeps During Press Conference

José Mourinho, Fenerbahçe's coach, humorously pretended to sleep during a press conference after his team's defeat to Rangers, showing frustration with a question's length.


Mourinho Sleeps During Press Conference

The manager of FK "Fenerbahçe" José Mourinho once again surprised everyone with his usual behavior. After losing his team to "Rangers" with a score of 1-3 in the first match of the 1/16 final of the Europa League, he decided to skip the press conference.

One of the journalists asked José Mourinho a question, to which the answer turned out to be quite long - over 45 seconds. During the time he was speaking, the Portuguese coach clearly began to show signs of fatigue, leaning on his cheeks, looking many times at the clock waiting for the question to be over, and then made a remark as if he were going to fall asleep, and issued a joking yawn.

When the translator pointed out that the question was related to Mourinho's tactical decisions, he briefly replied: "This is too much for me." Explaining his behavior, he added: "I got tired, man. Twelve minutes of the match, I can't listen for so long, I'm very tired."

The Portuguese refused to take responsibility for his team's defeat, noting that his players did not respect the opponent.
