In the 3rd week of the UEFA Champions League, Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt will be the guest of Galatasaray away tomorrow at 19.45. Bodo/Glimt Coach Kjetil Knutsen made a statement at the press conference held at RAMS Park before the match. Stating that they are aware that they will play against a very strong team, Kjetil Knutsen said, “We will play against a very strong team. Both their players and coaches are very good. They are really a strong team. We want to see a good performance on the field. We want to reflect our own game on the field. We focus on ourselves rather than focusing on the opponent or other factors. We are also aware that we will play against a very strong team.”
‘WE KNOW THE QUALITY OF OUR COMPETITION’
Referring to the fact that it will be a difficult match, Knutsen said, “No, it does not worry me. I can say that it does not worry us at all. We know that we will play against a nice and good team. I watched the Liverpool match. The good side in the Liverpool match was Galatasaray and they won. Especially in the first half. We know the quality of our opponent. We know that they have individual quality players. But we think we are well prepared for this match. We are a competitive team for them. It is challenging. There will be a match. “We will do our best,” he commented.
‘WE ARE NOT USED TO SUCH A NOISE STADIUM’
Mentioning that Galatasaray has top-level players, Kjetil Knutsen said, “First of all, I don’t think it is possible to prepare for such a stadium with such a sound level, such an atmosphere. It is not very possible to be ready for this. We are not used to a stadium with such noise and such an atmosphere. It will be a new experience for us. But we are looking forward to it. We will see how we will react as a team. In addition, we will see how Galatasaray plays, what It is very important for us to know and understand that he plays with a similar style of play. They are a team that presses very well up front. But it will be very important for us to catch the momentum and keep the rhythm in the game. In addition, we will try to take control of the game tomorrow. Establishing games is important to us. In this sense, we will want to be successful. We will try to perform well and get a good result. Even though they dominate the game in various parts of the game, we may have to play against this press. More directly when necessary There may be moments during the match when we need to play. But I can say this; Galatasaray has very talented players individually. If we give them the opportunity to counter-attack, they will be very dangerous. If we give them a lot of space, they have high-level players who will do very well in this empty space. We need to pay attention to this. We will have an important exam tomorrow. We need to control the game well. He concluded his words by saying, “We must do our best not to give them free space.”
