Fenerbahçe Head Coach Domenico Tedesco made statements after the 2-1 loss to Beşiktaş in the Turkish Cup.
"THEY PLAYED COURAGEOUSLY"
Expressing that Beşiktaş played courageously, Tedesco said, "They played courageously, they pressed high. We lost a lot of balls in the first half, we improved in the second half. We lost the match due to the last-minute situation. This is part of the game. Our opponent did well offensively, with Abraham's direct plays and passes, and Cerny's attacks. We must accept it and continue on our path."
"WE WANT TO WIN EVERY OFFICIAL MATCH"
Thanking the fans, the Italian coach stated, "Super Cup matches are official matches. We want to win every official match. We wanted to win today as well. It would be great to win our first cup. We will do our best for that. I thank our fans for their support. We have won many matches at home, and we won thanks to them. They are truly incredible fans. I am proud to be the head coach of this team. This cannot be expressed in words or bought with money."
"EVERY MATCH GIVES NEW IDEAS"
Continuing his words, the young coach said, "It was a good opportunity for us to see some players. We didn't have no idea about these players. They didn't play little in previous matches; they didn't play zero minutes. Every match we play gives new ideas."
TRANSFER STATEMENT
Speaking about the transfer period, Tedesco said, "I will not talk about transfers. Because we played a derby this evening, I would prefer to talk about the match. Transfer periods are stressful for me. The team reads the newspapers, there are rumors. Players who read this do not feel happy when they see such news. At the end of the day, they need to accept this situation. There are rumors, but it is true that the club wants to improve the team. We will play our next match on January 6. There is no time to breathe. The January transfer period is complicated. You cannot know which players are suitable in the transfer market. I have certain ideas in my mind. I discuss these ideas with our management, our president, and our sporting director. We will see what we can do. I do not mention names saying I want this; I mention profiles. The mid-season transfer period is a reaction for me, while the summer transfer period is active."
