While all eyes were on Fenerbahce in Austria Wien, which won its first win in the Austrian League this season at the weekend, Manfred Schmid stated that the win in the Tirol match would reflect positively on the Europa League match.
Schmid; “Fenerbahce is a really strong team and we respect them a lot, but we are not afraid of them.
Explaining that hosting a great community like Fenerbahçe is a big event for them, Schmid continued: “I believe that if we reflect our discipline on the field, if we can extend the result as much as possible and maintain the draw, we will have opportunities. There is no need to argue about quality. The quality of Fenerbahçe is obvious, A world giant has come here. We will pursue a miracle by pushing the limits at hand. I believe in the strength of my team. To push Fenerbahce, everyone has to exceed their own limit.”
WE KNOW FENERBAHÇE WILL PLAY AGAINST AND ATTACKING
Emphasizing that they will not only play defense and that they aim to play football, the experienced coach said, “We examined Fenerbahçe extensively. I was on the field during the Slovacko match, I examined it in detail. I had a lot of contacts in Turkey when I was an assistant coach in Germany. We used all of these for information. “We didn’t have a meeting. As we knew that Fenerbahce would play offensively and aggressively, we prepared our own plan in this direction.” made its assessment.
