Fenerbahçe's head coach Tedesco made statements to the German press regarding the performance of Galatasaray's star player Leroy Sane in the German national team. Supporting Leroy Sane, Tedesco said, "My impression is that Leroy Sane is doing his job very well. I was not surprised at all that he returned to the national team. Just because he is not at Bayern Munich doesn't mean he has forgotten how to play football." These words also received applause from Galatasaray fans.
Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made special statements to the German press outlet Sport Bild about the yellow-navy team and Galatasaray star Leroy Sane.
"I HAVEN'T LOST CONFIDENCE"
Commenting on the presidential change at Fenerbahçe, Domenico Tedesco said, "Generally, presidential elections, especially after a defeat, are risky for a head coach. However, I haven't lost confidence here. The election of the new president happened very quickly. The discussions we had after the election were very positive."
"STAYING AT THE FACILITIES WAS MORE LOGICAL"
Speaking about living at the facilities after signing with the yellow-navy team, the Italian coach said, "I spent the first 5 weeks at the training facilities. It was necessary for me. I had a small room; a bed, a wardrobe, a television, and a small bathroom… Every day, work started at 7 AM, and we filled the entire day with matches, training, and analysis. Due to the traffic in Istanbul, it was almost impossible to go back and forth home, so staying at the facilities was more logical."
"THE EMOTIONS HERE ARE VERY DIFFERENT"
Describing the difference between his past career and Turkey, Tedesco stated, "I have only been to the apartment I rented a few times. The passion of Fenerbahçe fans is immense and fascinates me. I have seen large fan bases before in Schalke and Moscow, but the emotions here are very different."
"BECOMING CHAMPION WOULD BE EXTRAORDINARY"
In response to the question, "What does winning the championship mean to you?" Domenico Tedesco said, "I have never experienced a league championship. I only won the German Cup with Leipzig in 2022. Becoming a champion in Turkey would be extraordinary."
"LEROY SANE IS VERY GOOD"
Speaking about Galatasaray's German player Leroy Sane, Tedesco showed his support for the star, stating, "I primarily look at our team; I don't pay much attention to what other teams are doing. But my impression is that Leroy Sane is playing very well. He is doing his job very well. That's why I wasn't surprised that he returned to the national team. Sane is not going to forget how to play football just because he is not at Bayern Munich."
HE RECEIVED APPLAUSE FROM GALATASARAY FANS
On the other hand, Galatasaray fans quickly responded to Tedesco's statements. The yellow-red fans expressed in their social media posts that the Italian coach made objective evaluations and provided positive comments towards Tedesco.
