Mourinho ja Man Utd: Kun vanhat tutut tapaavat Istanbulissa!

Erik ten Hag - Fenerbahçe - Jose Mourinho - Manchester United - Toni Kroos - UEFA Europa League

Manchester United ja Fenerbahçe iskivät yhteen, kun Jose Mourinho kohtasi entisen joukkueensa! Miksi Toni Kroos melkein siirtyi Old Traffordille?

Kun Manchester United ja Fenerbahçe kohtasivat Eurooppa-liigan tiimellyksessä, tunnelma Istanbulissa oli täynnä jännitystä ja vanhoja muistoja. Jose Mourinho, jonka kaupunki kävi tutuksi punaisista, ohjasi Fenerbahceta entistä joukkuettaan vastaan – Manchester Unitedia. Tässä pelissä Mourinho ei pelkästään seisonut kentän laidalla, vaan muisteli myös aikaisempia legendoja, kuten Toni Kroosia, joka lähes liittyi punaisiin. Kroos ja David Moyes olivat pääsemässä sopimukseen, mutta kohtalo puuttui peliin, kun Moyes sai potkut pian tuon keskustelun jälkeen.

Pelissä ei ollut puutetta draamasta. Fenerbahçe ja Manchester United taistelivat tasapäisesti, ja tauolle mentiin 1-1-tasatulos taulussa. Mourinho herätettiin henkiin vanhoista muistoista ja vertailu entisten joukkueiden välillä oli aktiivista. Andrea Onana, Manchester Unitedin maalivahti, antoi ymmärtää, että turhauttavat tasapelit eivät olleet hänen mieleensä. Erik ten Hag puolestaan myönsi, että joukkueelta puuttui "tappoviettiä"; tiukan pelin lopputulokset eivät ainakaan parantaneet joukkueen tunnelmaa.

Mourinho ei voinut olla mainitsematta mahdollisuutta palata Valioliigaan, mikä herätti huhuja ja spekulaatioita tulevaisuudestaan. Pelin aikana näkyi, että vanhoissa keskinäisissä suhteissa oli yhä kipinää, vaikka joukkueet kilpailevatkin erilaisten tavoitteiden puolesta. Media raportoi, kuinka Man Unitedin kansalliset reaktiot ovat monin paikoin heimollisia ja osittain huvittavia, viitaten jopa Mourinhoon, joka johti entistä joukkueensa uhkaavalle tielle.

Kun kaikki oli sanottu ja tehty, Manchester United ja Fenerbahçe päätyivät jakamaan pisteet, mutta ottelu nosti esiin enemmän kuin vain pelin. Toni Kroos, joka melkein pukeutui punaisiin, oli täynnä hehkua ja luonteenvoimaa, ja hänen olisi voinut kuvitella ottavan jälleen uhkaavan roolin. Jos Mourinho päättää palata Englantiin, niin voimme vain toivoa, että hän tulee valmistelemaan unelmakohtaloitaan juuri Man Utd:n parissa!

Lisäksi on mielenkiintoista huomata, että Mourinho on ollut vahva vaikuttaja Euroopan jalkapallossa yli vuosikymmenen ajan. Hänen strategiansa ja pelityylinsä ovat innoittaneet ja ärsyttäneet faneja ympäri maailmaa. Ja vaikka Manchester United ei ole ollut viime vuosina pelkillä voitolla, se on silti yksi maailman tunnetuimmista ja fanatuimmista seuroista.
