Jose Mourinho told off reporters questioning his squad choices following Fenerbahce's draw in the Turkish Super Lig on October 20.

Fenerbahce were held to a two-all draw by third-placed Samsunspor at the Samsun 19 Mayis Stadium.

Mourinho was forced to respond to questions about why some players did not get as many minutes as expected.

"I'm starting to learn what Turkey is. I'm surprised that you don't ask why goalkeeper Irfan doesn't play, I'm surprised that you don't ask about Cenk Tosun, I'm surprised because you always ask about the players that don't play," he said, as quoted by ESPN.
