Ajax Head Coach Francesco Farioli made statements before the match they will play against Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League. The Italian coach, who previously managed Fatih Karagümrük and Alanyaspor in Turkey, gave very talkative answers to questions about the yellow-reds.
"I DIDN'T COME TO TALK ABOUT THESE"
In response to a question about whether Galatasaray is the favorite, Farioli said, "Whether Galatasaray is good or bad, favorite or not... I didn't come to talk about these. Okan Buruk has brought Galatasaray to a good point. They are playing with the best players. They have players like Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi. They have wingers who can play everywhere. There is an alternative player, Berkan Kutlu. I'm not someone to comment on Galatasaray; I think they are in a good position."
"THE MATCH WILL BE TOUGH"
The 35-year-old young coach, who stated that the match will be tough, said, "It is an important match for both Galatasaray and us. We want to get the best out of the match. They have an aggressive attacking style. We will play a tough match. We have played good matches against them, but we didn't win. I hope it will be a good match and we get what we want."
"I'M NOT JEALOUS OF GALATASARAY"
In response to the question, "Do you envy Galatasaray's star players?" the Italian coach said, "I'm not jealous; I work at a good club. Galatasaray is a big club. They are happy because their financial situation is good, and they can acquire more stars. However, Ajax is not far behind either."
"I'M WATCHING TURKEY, MY CONNECTION IS STRONG"
Speaking about Turkey, Farioli said, "I left a positive impact at Karagümrük and Alanyaspor. My thoughts about Turkey are positive. I still follow Turkey; my connection is strong with it."
"I'M HAPPY AT AJAX"
Farioli, who stated that he is happy at the Dutch club, said, "I am happy to be the head coach at Ajax. I come here excited every morning. I get my coffee and smile."
