The Turkish Fenerbahce head coach plans to focus on the domestic championship.
Fenerbahce took a step forward and became significantly better and stronger since the first meeting with Dynamo in the Champions League qualifier. This is before the second meeting with the people of Kiev in the Europa League, said the head coach of the Turkish club, Jorge Jesus.
The specialist also said that in the match in Krakow, Poland, he plans to give young performers a chance.
“Since we met Dynamo for the first time in the group stage, our team has changed, we have become stronger. We know each other very well, because we are against each other a lot.
Dynamo is a very good team, which was the favorite of our group at the beginning of the tournament. Today the situation is different, but tomorrow they will play not for their position in the group, but for their honor and dignity. Therefore, tomorrow’s game will be very difficult for us, because Dynamo wants to win at any cost. At the same time, our goal is to win and take first place in the group.
To compete in the Turkish Championship and Europa League, our team uses rotation. We rotate players from match to match so they get more rest time. We have versatile players who can be used in different positions. We have an important Turkish Super League match against Sivasspor ahead of us, so tomorrow we have to be careful and keep our key players. Our main goal is to win the championship.
We had a great group stage, but it’s still not clear who will win our group – Fenerbahce or Rennes. Even if we win tomorrow, it does not guarantee leadership. I know Rennes won their match because they are playing at home and against a weaker team. Therefore, tomorrow the number of goals scored will come first.
The first team in the group advances directly to the round of 16 of the Europa League, while the team that finishes second not only has to play in the round of 16, but also against teams from the Champions League, which will be more . difficult test.
As I said, tomorrow I want to give the young players playing time so they can prove themselves in the Europa League group stage and be ready for the next stage,” Jesus told Dynamo’s official website.
It will be remembered that today, November 3, the match of the sixth round of the Europa League group stage Dynamo – Fenerbahce will take place. The match will take place in Krakow, Poland. The starting whistle for the teams will sound at 22:00 Kyiv time.
