Mauricio Lemos was the name that surprised everyone in the squad formed under the management of Jorge Jesus in Fenerbahçe. The Uruguayan defender, who played on loan for Belgium’s Beerschot team last season and is expected to be sent directly this year, snatched the jersey from Jesus in the opposite way, and started to be included in the top 11.
This came as a serious surprise. But it came as no surprise to Jorge Jesus. The Portuguese coach, who did not use Lemos in the friendly matches and the Dynamo Kyiv match in the Champions League at the beginning of the season, had a one-on-one meeting with his player.
According to the news of Milliyet, it was noted that Jesus, who stated to Lemos that he would do his best and that his fate would actually be in his own hands, began to closely monitor the 26-year-old defender. First of all, Lemos’s effort, ambition, struggle and intense desire, especially since the beginning of the season, received full marks from the experienced coach.
