TEDESCOA MIRACLE MESSAGE
Fenerbahçe’s coach Domenico Tedesco, who went to the rematch of the 3-0 defeat against England, spoke ambitiously for the seemingly impossible tour. Emphasizing that he does not like to complain about injuries, the Italian coach said, “Why should the Europa League be over? It is not over for us yet. We are going to England to achieve a miracle. It would be a big mistake to see ourselves out of the tournament, I have no thought of being eliminated. I can deal with the pressure, as long as my players reflect this belief on the field.”
Stating that he was proud of his team despite the difficult fixture and injury nightmare, Tedesco signaled that young talents such as 17-year-old Çağrı Hakan Balta, who was included in the A team from the youth team, could also find a chance in this process. Tedesco instilled hope in the community by saying, “If they had said at the beginning of the season that we would be in this position in February, I would have accepted it. We will not give up, we will be on the field to win at the City Ground, as in every match.”
