Fenerbahce Assistant Coach Salvatore Foti, Midtjylland match before the match with Yusuf Akçiçek spoke at a press conference. Here are those statements …
We have a lot of shortage
Like every match played in Europe, it will be a challenging match tomorrow. There is no easy match in Europe. We know it will be a difficult match. Missing players will of course affect us. We came here with a numerical limited staff. We also experienced this problem in the Lyon match. It would be the whole team that was ideal for us. This is a difficulty we need to come over. The important thing is to pass the tour. We trust the players to play and we know that they will do their best.
Is the draw enough?
(In response to the question “Is 1 point enough to skip a tour according to the new format?”
This is possible, but in such a case we need to look at many matches. Therefore, we should not think of togetherness. We came here for a win. We will do our best.
“You will not come for no match for a draw”
We have the possibility of a draw in a draw, but then we need to look at many games. In this sport, you do not come for a draw for any match. You play to win the match. We will play for this. We will play to win first. We will do our best. After the match is over, we will look at the result.
Jose Mourinho’s penalty
His lack is a sad situation for us. A person who makes a difference with his presence, but as his team, we will do our best. Luckily we had this situation in Rome. Therefore, his absence will not affect us in this sense, we will be in contact with him. As the team, we will do our best.
“He will want to be close to his team”
(Did Mourinho come here and where will he watch the match? “
Of course, our teacher came here. I don’t know where to watch the match. This will be organized with the team. He will want to be close to his team, just like in the previous matches.
Which system will they play with?
I can’t say anything about which system we will play tomorrow. In the second half of Göztepe match, we moved to the quadruple system and played better, but this was not just the system. The request of the players, ambition had changed in the second half. Again, I think they will be very important in the match we will play tomorrow.
Yusuf Akçiçek’s statements
First of all, it is a great experience for me to go here as 19 years old. But as I said, I will do the best I can with our teacher’s trust in me. I hope we will continue our way with a good win.
We know it is a very important match. A match we need to win. We came here to win. I hope we will be entitled to stay in Play-Off with a good game and win tomorrow.
Thank you to Fenerbahçe fans. They support me very much. Currently, my only goal is to make the best use of the time I have received in Fenerbahçe and to contribute to the team. One of my biggest goals is the national team, but my only goal is to evaluate the time I have received in the best way and to help the team.
What our teacher says is very valuable. A very experienced teacher. I learn new things every day. Every training is a different experience for me. Before this match, we had tactically speeches. Other than that, nothing else happened.
