Fenerbahçe’s Hungarian defender Attila Szalai answered the questions of the press. The successful player stated that they are not interested in the matches of Galatasaray, which is on its way to the summit.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SZALAI’S WORDS:
I think we are on a good track right now. In the past, there were matches that we can call difficult. We have achieved important 3 points. Before the international break, we got an important victory against Alanyaspor. It was a valuable 3 points. We focused on the derby. We are preparing well. I hope we will be prepared with 3 points.
“IN FOOTBALL SYSTEM IS NOT EVERYTHING”
System doesn’t mean everything to me. Our coach decides how we will play. These are basic systems, but your style of play may change during the match. We are currently making the best preparations for our opponent. We haven’t had good results in derbies so far, but we are preparing well for this match. Playing 3 or 4 defense is important, but the system is not everything in football. You can try different variations, offensively and defensively, in the match.
“WE HAVE ANALYZED OUR COMPETITOR IN A GOOD WAY”
We know the strong points of Beşiktaş. They have quality players on offense. We should not talk only about Beşiktaş. There are also quality players in other teams in Turkey. I won’t explain what we did, but we analyzed the competitor well. We will have completed our preparations until the match.
“WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN GALATASARAY’S MATCHES”
We are not interested in Galatasaray’s matches. Of course we look at the rankings, but our priority is our own game. Our goal is the championship. I hope that with dedication we will achieve the result we want.
