Dutch Duo Reunited: Oosterwolde Faces Former Team

Fenerbahce Coach Jose Mourinho and Jayden Oosterwolde made statements yesterday ahead of today's Twente match. This is especially an important game for Oosterwolde because he started his career in FC Twente's Academy. Born in Enschede, Netherlands, Oosterwolde joined the Twente youth academy when he was 15.

Impressing with his performances at the youth level, Oosterwolde was promoted to the FC Twente U17 team, showing his talent and potential. Continuing his development, Oosterwolde moved up to the FC Twente U19 team, gaining valuable experience and further refining his abilities.

Dutch player Oosterwolde started his words with: "I am back in my old home. We played against Twente last year. It was a good memory for me. I hope tomorrow night will be a good memory for me as well. It is going to be an interesting match. I think both teams are very good. Twente did a good job against Manchester United last week but we at Fenerbahçe are also very good. We have a new coach. He has a very good influence on the team. I hope tomorrow will be good and we will come back with a win."

The player also talked about playing against his former team:

"It is an honour for me to be able to work with Mourinho and for him to choose me. I also played in Italy. He is my third coach at Fenerbahçe. I have had experiences. He has a certain charisma. He also has many successes. I do not want to say that you get more information from him, but you take what he says more seriously. He came with a good atmosphere. If we have any weaknesses, he helps us fix them and develop them. He has a different perspective on football. He is a great coach."

"There are many things happening in a country like Türkiye. Not only in football but also very different things happening outside of Türkiye. You have to get used to it, accept it and adapt. Yes, strange things are happening in Türkiye, but we have to accept it. You have to take this as an experience when you leave Türkiye."

"I have played left-back throughout my career. I played left midfield. I can play both positions well but the coach needs me to play on the left wing right now. That is not a problem for me. If you are asking which position do you enjoy playing more, I played left defender more last year. Many European clubs were interested in me. Neither position is a problem for me. I think I played a good season but as I said, the coach needs me to play on the left wing."

"We will try to play at the highest level. I think we should be in the top eight. That is our goal. Good matches await us. We aim to win.

"I think Mourinho is a very funny person, a very good person outside of football. He tells us stories from his past. He taught us this: Not everything is about football. He is not a very strict person. He is a very funny person."
