Speaking to La Provence, Cengiz Ünder said the following about the atmosphere of the Veledrome;
I also played in Rome, but the atmosphere was not as intense. The strongest atmosphere I’ve ever known. There is the same enthusiasm in Beşiktaş stadium in Turkey, but I feel this warmth as soon as I enter the field in Marseille. This pushes us to play football.
I played against Beşiktaş when I was 18 years old in Başakşehir. I felt this enthusiasm for the first time. For 90 minutes, I had absolutely not heard what my teammates were telling me. There was such an atmosphere… I feel it here. This is madness!
