Before the Hoffenheim match... Dusan Vlahovic statement from Vincenzo Italiano!

Beşiktaş will duke it out with Hoffenheim in Germany in the second week of the UEFA Europa League.

While the black-whites defeated Marseille 4-1 in their first match, Hoffenheim surprisingly lost 2-0 to OFI away in Greece.

Before the match, Beşiktaş Coach Vincenzo Italiano made a statement.

Italiano's statements at the press conference are as follows:

"Europe is different, the Super League is different. Both have different stories. The same goes for our opponent. Both sides want to win. Our priority is to continue our way, regardless of whether it is the top 8 or 24 in Europe. We have started well so far, but the matches are difficult. We want to do our best with maximum attention."

"WE HAVE FRIENDS WHO WILL PLAY INSTEAD OF VLAHOVIC"

"Vlahovic has a stomach and intestine problem. That's why we couldn't bring him here. We have friends who will play instead of him tomorrow. Unfortunately, there is not much to do. We need to play an away game close to our home game. We still have a long way to go."

"Everyone wants to win, we do too. We want to show this at home and away. We have to show this gap. If you want to be assertive in three lanes, your desire and mentality must be the same. We want to win tomorrow. We analyzed the opponent, watched videos, talked about these. We deserved to get better results in some matches. We will see together what kind of match it will be tomorrow. We want to show ourselves. Let's see if we can control the match, whether we will be behind, but the important thing is the desire to win."
