Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco spoke after the Göztepe match. "The season is still very long. We did a good job. The team is doing well. We have to accept the result," said Tedesco, adding, "If someone should be blamed tonight, it should be me, not Yiğit Efe."
In the 19th week of the Trendyol Super League, Fenerbahçe drew 1-1 at home against Göztepe. Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made statements after the match.
'WE NEED TO ACCEPT AND LOOK AHEAD'
Commenting on the match, Tedesco said, "We created a lot of chances today. We controlled a large part of it. We played against a well-organized team with high sprint distances. We experienced a slight drop in the second half. We were late in finding solutions. We were late in passes and runs. At the end of the day, these things happen in football. You need to accept it and look ahead."
'THE SEASON IS STILL LONG'
Continuing his remarks, Tedesco stated, "The season is still very long. The Alanyaspor match was difficult, the Aston Villa match was difficult, this match was difficult. We played against three above-average good teams in a row. We did a good job. The team is doing well. We need to accept the result. We lost 2 points, but we were the team closer to winning. Such results exist in football. We need to look ahead."
'I'M SURPRISED THAT EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR EN-NESYRI'
Pointing out that lessons need to be learned, Tedesco said, "I am surprised that everyone is looking for En Nesyri right now. Because it was said in a flash interview 6 weeks ago that Mert Müldür was not at the level of Fenerbahçe. Today, people are asking why he didn't play. There is a lot of black and white. We need to go slowly and calmly. We need to learn lessons."
'IF SOMEONE IS TO BE BLAMED, IT SHOULD BE ME'
Finally, Domenico Tedesco concluded his speech with the words, "Yiğit also performed wonderfully. He made a big mistake on the goal we conceded, but such things can happen. If someone is to be blamed tonight, it should be me, not Yiğit Efe."
