Statement from İsmail Kartal about the Aston Villa match: 'We will not play some players in tomorrow's match'

Fenerbahçe Coach İsmail Kartal made a statement at the press conference held before the Aston Villa match in the UEFA Champions League.

İsmail Kartal's statements are as follows:

"We have completed our preparations for tomorrow's match. In fact, since we knew that it would be a long journey, we made such a decision to do our last training in Istanbul so that our players could rest well. We think it is good for us, too. Our team's energy and motivation are in good shape."

"WE REALLY APPRECIATE EMERY"

"If you ask our thoughts about our opponent, they have a coach that can be admired. We really appreciate Emery, who has been able to constantly win European cups in recent years. When we look at their players, a few of their important players were transferred to other clubs at the beginning of the season. When you look at this year now, they have important players up front."

"No matter how good their results were, they had the same problems in the league last year. Later, they achieved very important series and became assertive in the championship."

"MAYBE WE WILL NOT PLAY SOME PLAYERS TOMORROW"

"Our duty is not only to play the players, but to act in line with a plan by thinking match by match. Maybe we will not play some players in tomorrow's match. We have to do these to minimize the risk of injury, play rested players and protect the integrity of the team. There is justice within the team. We are trying to distribute this justice in the best way."

"OUR TEAM IS READY"

Archie Brown said, "We play to win every match we play. Our team is ready. Our goal is always to score as many goals as we can and not to concede a goal. We see every match we play as an opportunity to increase our self-confidence."
