Domenico Tedesco made a statement regarding the uncertainty about whether Fenerbahçe will make a forward transfer. In his statement, Tedesco said, "We don't want to make a transfer just for the sake of making one. We won't acquire a forward just to have a forward. When we do acquire, we will consider everything about the player. It's not easy, but we will keep our eyes open until the last minute tomorrow."
Fenerbahçe's head coach Domenico Tedesco made statements after their 3-1 victory against Erzurumspor in the Ziraat Turkey Cup. The Italian coach also spoke about the forward transfer.
"WE FOCUS ON CHARACTER RATHER THAN POSITION"
Speaking about the forward transfer, Tedesco said, "Let's talk about what we have done rather than what we do not have. Overall, what we have done in this transfer period has exceeded expectations. When we are going to acquire a player, we prefer to focus on the character of the player rather than their position. We look at whether they have a winning mentality and if they have the character to fit into the group within the team."
"WE HAVE SUPPORTED THIS WITH THE TRANSFERS WE MADE"
The Italian coach continued, "When a new player arrives, they can change the dynamics within the team. In this sense, I believe we have supported this with the transfers we have made. Of course, it is the job of every club to keep their eyes open until the last second; this is very important, to have your eyes open during the transfer season."
"WE WILL KEEP OUR EYES OPEN UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT"
Stating that they will pursue transfers until the last moment, the experienced coach said, "We do not want to make a transfer just for the sake of making one. We will not acquire a forward just to have a forward. When we do acquire, we will look at everything about the player. It is not easy, but we will keep our eyes open until the last moment tomorrow."
