'He was selfish' — Jose Mourinho slams Super Eagles star

Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho aimed a dig at Nigerian defender Bright Osayi-Samuel following his side's victory over Bodrum FK in the Turkish Super Lig.

The Super Eagles defender featured for the entire 90 minutes as goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Edin Džeko secured a convincing 2-0 victory for the Yellow Canaries.

It was the first win for Mourinho's side in three games. Despite picking up the maximum three points, the Portuguese tactician believes his side could have won by a bigger margin had Osayi-Samuel not been selfish in the first half.

“I’m happy for the three points, but it was sad that we couldn’t create and capitalize on so many chances,” Mourinho said as quoted by Kontraspor.

“We scored a goal from a rebound. Irfan Can Kahveci’s volley was nice, and Osayi-Samuel had a position in the first half, but he was selfish there. We could have finished the match in the first half, but we couldn’t.”
