Gustavo Henrique, the Brazilian football player of Fenerbahce, said in a statement after the Dynamo Kyiv match, “Scoring a goal is important for me, but winning was more important.”
In the first match of UEFA Europa League Group B, Fenerbahçe defeated Ukrainian team Dynamo Kiev with a score of 2-1. Brazilian football player Gustavo Henrique, who also scored 1 goal in the fight, said in a statement to the press, “I can say that it was a difficult match for us. Frankly, we expected this challenge. We were ready for this as well. I think our performance until the last minute was very good. The win was very good for us. “It was an important win to make a good start. We will rest well. We will prepare for the next game,” he said.
“TO GO GOAL IS IMPORTANT TO ME BUT THE WIN WAS MORE IMPORTANT”
Expressing that they are working on set pieces in general, the Brazilian football player said, “I can say that we are strong in this sense. I am very happy to be able to score in the corner position. I am also happy to be able to help Batshuayi in terms of goal in the second goal. We worked very hard on the field today. “We will continue to work in this way. Scoring a goal is important to me, but winning was more important. We will continue to work on set ball,” he said.
On being reminded of the opponent’s constant foul play, the 29-year-old football player said, “For me, this was the opponent’s strategy. It was a game that would pass physically. We knew this too. We had met before. We know each other well. They also tried to stop our game rhythm. We knew how to stay mentally strong. “We waited for the best moment, you didn’t score a goal. We continued our struggle to score a goal. As a result, we found the goal. We need to know how to play such matches. We were the superior side to the opponent,” he said.
Gustavo Henrique stated that the first matches they played were not bad for him, “It takes time for this too. You have to get used to the new team. I continue my adaptation in the same way. Because the football here is a little different from the league I played before. I try to put forth the best in every match. Playing in a big club like Fenerbahce also requires this. It requires my missing parts,” he concluded.
