Fenerbahçe will face Romanian team FCSB away in the 8th and last week of the UEFA Europa League league stage. Yellow-dark blue coach Domenico Tedesco and one of the players, Fred, made statements at the press conference held before the match.
HERE ARE TEDESCO’S STATEMENTS
ABOUT FCSB
“Every opponent against us, no matter who they are, they play with high motivation. They still have the possibility of finishing in the 24th, we expect a highly motivated team tomorrow. They are a warrior team, they do not give up until the end. They have a good stadium, we will play in a crowded stadium. We want to play a good match and continue on our way.”
“DURAN COMPLETED THE TRAINING BUT…”
“Jhon Duran completed the training today, but later complained of pain. We need to wait for the checks. I hope he does not have a serious condition. We will talk about what kind of team we will play with this evening.”
“JAYDEN IS POSSIBLE AT LEFT BACK BUT…”
“It is good news for us that these players (Levent Mercan and Archie Brown) returned to individual training, but we need to be a little more patient. Then they will be able to return to the team. It is not easy to have both left backs injured for 6 weeks. We made up for it with Mert Müldür, Nelson and Yiğit Efe. We can see Jayden as a left back. Everything has a price in life. We have a good duo in the middle with Milan and Jayden, and Milan is not there tomorrow anyway. Therefore, it is not easy to make changes. It is easy to change the centre, especially the centre-back duo. “In big teams, the defenders are generally fit. We got a good pair in the centre. Jayden told me that he can come and play at left back if needed. One of the players in the center is already suspended, but there may be other problems in other positions this time.”
“We are looking forward to this match.”
“I HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE”
“I have never experienced the owner or the president of the club being involved in technical decisions. Thank God for that.”
Fred’s statements are as follows:
“NO MATTER WHO PLAYS…”
“Unfortunately, Guendouzi will not play. He made a very good start as soon as he arrived. Ismail felt pain in the last match. Our coach will decide who will play. Whoever plays, he will play well. We came here to win. We have a good squad. I don’t know who will play, but we will wait for tomorrow and do our best to have a good match.”
ABOUT LUCESCU
“Lucescu was the first coach in Europe who trusted me. I am grateful to him. He is a very good coach. I wish him all the best. He is both a great person and a very good coach.”
