Our representative, Fenerbahçe, will face off against Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Europa League last 16 round play-off rematch. Before this match, coach Domenico Tedesco of the yellow-dark blue team made a statement.
HERE ARE TEDESCO’S WORDS:
The first match was difficult, a new coach had arrived and we were below our performance. We want to do better this time. We have changes in the starting 11.
Nelson Semedo and Marco Asensio played a lot of matches. We talked to the medical team and the players, it could be risky for them to play even 60 minutes. The season does not end now, there are many matches and goals.
We have too many attacking players. If I call Matteo Guendouzi a defensive player, he will probably be offended, he also has an offensive mentality but will play as a centre-back. Mert Müldür is normally a full-back and likes to go forward.
In the first 11, only Yiğit Efe Demir is a defensive player, everyone else is an attacking mentality player.
We will do our best for a good result. We will try to enjoy it and show that we are improving. “Let’s all be brave together”
