Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made evaluations ahead of the UEFA Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen. Stating that the opponent is a high-energy team, Tedesco said, "A match can be won here, but it is difficult. Real Madrid also played here and won 4-2, but it was tough. They have good players this year as well."
Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made statements before the match against Viktoria Plzen, which will be played in the 4th week of the UEFA Europa League.
"WE WANT 3 POINTS"
Speaking about the match against Viktoria Plzen, Domenico Tedesco said, "We are going to play a very important match, we want to win. We know it will be difficult. Our opponent changed their coach a few weeks ago. They have won 5 out of 5 with their new coach and during this process, they also defeated Roma. They had prepared very well for that match. They are a high-energy team. It will be difficult for us, but our only focus is to win. We want to do everything for that. We want 3 points. We must try everything for 3 points."
"THESE ARE LUXURY PROBLEMS"
Commenting on who will play in the forward position, the experienced coach said, "You will see who will play. We have options. Talisca and En-Nesyri performed well. These are luxury problems for us."
"SAME WAY ON SUNDAY"
Answering the question, "What is the impact of squad stability on the team's success?" Tedesco said, "Of course, every team needs a certain level of stability. 5-6 players need to be fit to play. What does this mean? There are suspensions, sometimes you want fresh legs. For example, we will play away in this match, and we will need players that we can call fresh blood, the same goes for Sunday. A mix of both situations. We don't have a very clear 11 because we have very good players and we are rotating. When we rotate, our quality does not drop."
"REAL MADRID STRUGGLED TOO"
In response to the question, "Fenerbahçe's primary goal is the championship, but European genetics have also developed in the last 3 years. What do you have to say about this? The opponent Viktoria Plzen has also won 6 out of 7 matches. Can you evaluate the opponent?" Domenico Tedesco said:
"It would be easy to just look at the names of the teams and say, 'This team will win.' You need to analyze the teams in detail. Before Fenerbahçe, I didn't know the teams in such detail, but after studying, I found that every team has good players. Plzen is a team that participates in international tournaments every year. Matches can be won here, but it is difficult. Real Madrid also played here and won 4-2, but it was tough. They have good players this year as well. But we always need to think that it doesn't matter who you are playing against; you need to analyze that team in detail and give your all. Just like in Zagreb. We were not at our best there and we lost."
