Galatasaray is stronger in the new season, with a total value of 3.1 euros. Whether it is the starting lineup or the bench, Galatasaray has super strength. In this game, although Osmeon did not appear on the roster, Galatasaray still easily defeated his opponent. It can be seen that this team's dominance in the Turkish Super League.

The stronger Galatatrae is, the harder it is for Fenerbahce to compete for the league championship, and Fenerbahce lost both sides in the league and cup last season, losing to his biggest competitor Galatasaray. Although Fenerbahce has the blessing of Mourinho, Fenerbahce fans hope that Mourinho will play his magic bird's attributes and lead Fenerbahce to the league championship. But from the moment, although the league has just begun, it is really difficult for Fenerbahce to win the championship. Galatatrae is too strong. Although Mourinho has a magical coaching history in the past, it requires the support of funds and players. Now, what does Fenerbahce have?

Fenebache is a traditional strong team, but he faces many challenges in winning the championship. It is difficult for Mourinho to lead the team to win the league championship.

1. The club has limited funds, and it is difficult for Mourinho to form the team he wants, resulting in insufficient lineup depth: although Fenerbahce will invest money to introduce players, it is limited compared to the top European clubs. Just look at the players Mourinho introduces to know the team's financial dilemma. When fighting on multiple lines, the lineup depth issue will be highlighted. For example, if the team fights simultaneously in league, domestic cup and European competitions, players are prone to fatigue and injuries. When the main player is injured or in poor condition, the substitute player cannot take over and maintain the team's competitiveness in time, affecting the team's performance in key games.

2. Mourinho's maverick character has led to difficulties in locker room management: there are many stars in the team, and they all have a strong desire to perform and personal demands. If the relationship and interests between players are not properly coordinated, it may lead to conflicts in the locker room. This will not only affect the team's unity, but will also distract the players from the game, resulting in a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the team.

3. Mourinho gradually developed a gap with modern football, and his tactical adaptability was poor: modern football tactics developed rapidly, and his opponents had various tactical styles. If Fenerbahce's coach cannot formulate effective tactics based on different opponents, or the team players cannot execute tactics well, they will easily fall into a passive position when facing some teams with flexible and changeable tactics.

4. Strong competitors in the Turkish Super League: Besiktas, Galatasaray and others are also traditional strong teams in the Turkish Super League, and they are close to Fenerbah. These teams are also actively investing in the transfer market, introducing outstanding players and enhancing the team's strength. This makes the competition in the Turkish Premier League extremely fierce, and every game is full of suspense, and it is difficult for Fenerbahce to maintain a stable advantage throughout the season.

5. Influence of referee factors: In some key games, referee's penalty may have an impact on the results of the game. Some of the controversial penalties may change the trend and outcome of the game, affecting Fenerbahce's points and rankings.

6. Dense schedule: The Turkish Super League schedule is tight, and the team needs to play multiple games in a short period of time. This is a huge test for the players' physical fitness and mental state, which can easily lead to increased player fatigue and injuries, affecting the team's competitive state and performance.

Based on the above reasons, Mourinho's desire to win the league championship this season will eventually fail, and his strength is not allowed! As long as Mourinho coaches in Fenerbahce in the future, it will be difficult for Moubinho to win the championship, and Fenerbahce will also be difficult for Fenerbahce to win the championship! Perhaps what the Turkish Premier League and Fenerbahcea care about is Mourinho's popularity and traffic! After all, without Mourinho, the Turkish Premier League would not be so lively! It’s like the Saudi League has Cristiano Ronaldo, and the major popular stars have gone to the Saudi League one after another! But the current victory in Riyadh is not even the league and cup championships! That champion is not worth mentioning! Fenerbahce and Riyadh's victory are so similar, and Ronaldo and Mourinho are so sympathetic. The situations of both sides are exactly the same!
