The table position has no meaning at first. Last year, in the final of the Europa League, the table was 16th against 17th in the Premier League.
If you look at the market values, Nottingham with 591 million to Fenerbahce with 236 million, then you don’t have to be surprised about the result.
However, there remains clearly a disappointment because people irrationally went into the game with higher expectations. The only thing that was actually embarrassing was the way Fenerbahce played. They basically only had 1-2 shots on the opponent’s goal and that was in a home game. That’s really embarrassing. But this is also the typical Tedesco football that is extremely unattractive.
I think that will have been the case for Tedesco too; they should say goodbye to him after a defeat in the league at the latest.
So there can really be no question of irrational or too high expectations. Especially because no one saw the round as a compulsory task. Hey, I’m really the last fan who goes crazy after a win and puts his head in the sand after a defeat. Every defeat can be overcome, but today was a pitch-black day and you can say that without comparing any market values, talking about irrational wishes or mentioning any cup finalists.
It was extremely stupid, the performance wasn’t right, after the 1-0 it was completely lost and there was no question of resistance. It definitely wasn’t a good game even for Nothingham fans and that definitely has nothing to do with the market values.
As I already said, expectations weren’t too high anyway because most fans had somehow already come to terms with it and put their own focus on the league.
100%, I give a letter and seal with the rearview mirror will run much better.
Then today’s game will be even more disgusting for all of us.
