Fenerbahçe’s UEFA Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round rival, Dynamo Kyiv, coach Mircea Lucescu made a statement at the pre-match press conference.
Headlines from the Romanian coach’s statements are as follows:
“Of course, we couldn’t transfer many players during this period, we lost players. Fenerbhaçe bought many players. At the same time, we couldn’t make a good preparation. We came here after playing a match in Europe. But Fenerbahçe has its own training facilities, it made this preparation. Tomorrow “There will be tremendous spectator support. Only women and children will support us. Men are at war right now. Considering all this, the situation we are in with Fenerbahçe is different. But football does not look at these, it results in the game on the field. We have completed our preparations to be as successful as we can.”
“REFERENCES CAN EXPAND THE SITUATION”
(Jorge Jesus saying they did too many fouls)
“Of course there will be fouls. It’s a bit of a tactical situation, no need to exaggerate. We haven’t had any preparation process for 8 months. Fenerbahçe has preparations and transfers. We tried to prepare for this match carefully. Of course, it is important to play a fair game, they had control in the previous match. “We were looking for results with contract attacks. We’ll have to look at the result. The important thing is fair play. The referees can exaggerate the situation. There wasn’t that much foul play.”
“JESUS DOES NOT LEAVE”
“Jesus is an experienced and very good coach. I don’t think Jesus will take this game for granted and take it lightly. Even though he has a large team, he will know that it will be a difficult match. Between the two teams, the hardest match is played at the qualifying point. Fenerbahce players are very good. prepared. It will be a very difficult match for us. Considering the conditions, we are trying to achieve success with the players from the academy as well as the Ukrainian football players. Fenerbahce made good transfers. They have very talented players. Ultimately, it will be a good match. Fenerbahce will try to dominate the match. Our hope is to balance the game and eventually win.”
“I FEEL GOOD COMING TO ISTANBUL”
“I gained the most important experiences in my coaching history in Galatasaray and Beşiktaş. Turkey has an important place in my football life. I can say Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and the National Team. I respect the fans very much, I appreciate them. I feel good when I come to Istanbul. Turkey It’s always a beautiful country for me.”
