Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco spoke after the match against Nice. Criticizing the training system of Fenerbahçe's former coach Jose Mourinho, Tedesco said, "I don't know what kind of camp was held before the season; I wasn't here. The reason for the decline in the second half is the intense pressing we did in the first half. The team doesn't have the strength to maintain that for 90 minutes. There are deficiencies."
Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made statements after the 2-1 victory against Nice in the UEFA Europa League.
"WE TOOK A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD IN MANY ASPECTS"
Evaluating the match, Tedesco said, "It was a nice victory for us. We took a significant step forward in many aspects. The character the team showed during the match, the confidence, and our positional development on the field are improving. To develop, you need positive moments and goals. I am happy that Kerem scored goals and that the players who came in during the second half were ready. Everyone is prepared and present in the moment. This is a good indicator."
"CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE!"
"We continued with the same 11 as the previous match. We talked about the importance of stability after the Zagreb match. We need to improve stability. Building confidence is difficult and takes time. When we play every 3-4 days, we can't have the same 11 for every match. Asensio was sick yesterday; he didn't have a high fever, but it was uncertain whether he would play. He performed for 60 minutes, and the player who came in for him was also ready to contribute. This was important. We must trust the players coming from the bench as well. They can also provide contributions. Confidence, confidence, confidence!"
A REFERENCE TO MOURINHO'S WORKING SYSTEM
Tedesco, referencing the training system of Fenerbahçe's former head coach Jose Mourinho, stated, "I have no opinion about the preparation period. I wasn't here. I don't know what kind of camp was held before the season; I wasn't here. The reason for the drop in the second half is the intense pressing we did in the first half. The team does not have a great power for 90 minutes. There are deficiencies."
