Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco spoke after the Super Cup match against Galatasaray. Tedesco, who stated that there would be departures from the team, said, "There may be farewells in the team. These are natural.

Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made statements after the 2-0 victory against Galatasaray in the Super Cup.
"THE CELEBRATION BELONGS TO THE PLAYERS"
Speaking about the championship, Tedesco expressed his happiness, saying, "Of course, I am very happy. We are a strong team and we are becoming stronger together. I think the celebration belongs to the players. They are the ones fighting on the field. For me, this cup belongs to the Fenerbahçe family and our fans. They are incredible! That's why we love doing this job so much. It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be the coach of this fanbase."
"WE MUST PROGRESS STEP BY STEP"
The Italian coach stated that they could score 3-4 goals against their opponents, saying, "We must progress step by step. Today we will celebrate this cup. It will be a motivation for us. I mentioned when I first arrived that we need the players to gain victories and confidence. We played a good game in the first half, and I think we showed an impressive performance. This is also important for me along with the cup. We could have scored 3-4 goals. This is also a factor that makes me happy. We will look at the situation of the injured players. Levent was limping today. We will check his condition because we have no other left-back. As you can see, coaches think about the next training and match."
'MATTEO GUENDOUZI SHOWED GREAT CHARACTER'
Speaking about Fenerbahçe's new star Guendouzi, Tedesco said, "You saw how Matteo Guendouzi played; he showed a lot of character in the game. It was as if he had been here for 8 months."
'THERE MAY BE FAREWELLS'
In response to the question, "Will you make such quick decisions for players who will leave the team, like Musaba and Guendouzi who joined the team very quickly?" Domenico Tedesco said, "There may be farewells in the team. These are natural. Of course, having fewer players in your squad is not good, but having too many players is also not good. We need to be fair to the players. Some players deserve to play. They need to play for the next step, but they may not get enough time. We need to analyze this. We are already discussing this, but making this decision can take time. It can take time to make the right decision for the player. What is clear is that if the players cannot find a solution outside of here, their home will always be here. We are also by their side. That is what matters. The age and name of the player do not matter. Their home is here. We must always be by their side. If the players cannot find a solution to leave, they will train, get as much time as they can, and we will be there for them."
