Fenerbahce gained an advantage ahead of the return leg by defeating Sturm Graz 2-0 at home in the first match of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. After the match, Fenerbahce board member Cihan Kamer made important assessments.
''WE WILL SEE A BETTER TEAM''
Kamer, referring to the adaptation process of the new transfers, said, ''Greenwood joined us only 15 days ago. Ake is similar. Becoming a full team, settling the new system and the pressing game takes time. Our players reaching the desired performance also requires a process. Despite this, as Fenerbahce we are playing good football and reflecting the pressing game our fans expect on the pitch. In the coming weeks, we will see a better team.''
''STRIKER TRANSFER WILL BE READY FOR THE PLAY-OFF''
Stating that the striker transfer will not happen this week as Aziz Yildirim said, but will be completed by the play-off matches, Kamer said, ''Hopefully, with Vedat's recovery, another center-forward will join us by that time. Our efforts on this matter continue. This result achieved without a center-forward is proud for us. We believe that if our strikers also step in tomorrow, we will achieve much different results. The striker transfer will not happen this week but will be completed by the play-off round.''
''IT IS SAID HE WILL BE AWAY FROM THE FIELDS FOR 3-4 WEEKS''
Cihan Kamer gave the following information about the condition of left-back Jayden Oosterwolde: ''There is no definitive information yet, but unfortunately it is said that Jayden Oosterwolde will be away from the fields for at least 3-4 weeks.''
