ISTANBUL, Turkey -- It's about 40 minutes before kick-off on Sept. 21 when Jose Mourinho steps out at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium and braces himself for a taste of the atmosphere ahead of his first Intercontinental Derby as Fenerbahçe manager.
Fenerbahçe vs. Galatasaray is one of the most hostile rivalries in football. There were riots in 2012 when a 0-0 draw confirmed Galatasaray as Turkish champions; shops were smashed and police vehicles were set on fire. In May, after Fenerbahçe won 1-0 at Galatasaray, there was a brawl on the pitch.
