English journalist Matt Davies evaluated the match that Fenerbahçe will play against Nottingham Forest. Matt Davies stated that Fenerbahçe's Spanish star Marco Asensio could make a significant impact in this match, saying, "I know he played well in the Aston Villa match and he seems quite effective in the Turkish League as well. Therefore, they need to pay a lot of attention to him."
Fenerbahçe will face Premier League team Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Europa League play-off round. Before the challenging match, English journalist Matt Davies made striking comments about the matchup.
''WE KNOW IT WILL BE A TOUGH MATCH''
Commenting on the matchup, Matt Davies said, "This match has become more exciting since the arrival of Vitor Pereira. Naturally, the arrival of a new head coach brings a different dynamism to the team. We know it will be a tough match as Forest will be playing in a very hostile atmosphere, especially away from home."
"FOREST'S PRIORITY IS THE PREMIER LEAGUE"
Highlighting that Nottingham Forest's top priority is to stay in the league, the English journalist stated, "Their absolute top priority is the Premier League. Relegation would be a complete disaster. We could lose many key players, starting with the best ones. Moreover, there is no guarantee of promotion again. If they are not in the Premier League, some people within the club might even lose their jobs."
''THEY MUST PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO HIM''
Davies pointed out that Fenerbahçe's Spanish star Asensio needs to be watched closely, saying, "Marco Asensio could make a significant impact in this match. I know he played well in the Aston Villa match, and he looks quite effective in the Turkish League as well. Therefore, they must pay close attention to him."
