İsmail Kartal announced his Greenwood decision: 'He can play in a different role tomorrow'

Fenerbahçe will host Slavia Prague, one of the Czech League teams, in the 3rd week match of the UEFA Champions League season. The yellow-dark blue team, which started the season with a draw against Roma in the Giants League and then lost to Aston Villa, wants to get its first win of the season by beating Slavia Prague.

Before the match to be played in the Champions League tomorrow, Fenerbahçe Coach İsmail Kartal made a statement at the press conference.

"Although I say we are continuing our preparations, we do not have the chance to train much. Today we will show what the opponent will do with the sweat training and analysis we will do. They play football based on physics. We will fight against a team that plays man-to-man and hard all over the field. They can play in 3s and 4s. We want to play the Slavia Prague match in the best way possible tomorrow. We trust our fans very much. I think I can do my best with the support they will give."

"We are looking at it match by match. There may be a rotation. We will decide tonight. We have a system. We will decide by looking at their resting state, fatigue and condition. We are already preparing our plan B. We will decide tonight."

"The Aston Villa match was a bad match for us. In terms of score, it was not a match that the Fenerbahçe community, me and any of our team could accept. I think the reaction may be greater tomorrow."

"Greenwood is a very qualified and productive player offensively. But he may have some deficiencies in defense. We are trying to overcome these by talking. Our expectation from him is that we want him to demonstrate his quality and skill in the offensive sense. We have different plans for his other friends to tolerate the places where he cannot come back. For example, he can play in a different role tomorrow."

"Before the Aston Villa match, Kante and Asensio had pain in the back of their knees due to the blows they received in the Rizespor match. I asked Kante at halftime, it could be worse, he said I don't feel well. In fact, it happened in this match as well. He is still in pain. He is committed to professionalism. He shows character. As long as he is healthy in the match tomorrow, we will talk about it tonight. He is a boy who does every task like a machine and always smiles in every match as if nothing had happened. So is Matteo. Our energy is high."

"This coach is a coach who has been coaching Slavia Prague for 9 years. We did not deserve the defeat here in my previous season. Tomorrow's match is not a rematch. It will be a strategy match. We will do our best to win. By winning, it will be like we have a small rematch. If we get 3 points, I think we will have more hope to advance to the next round in the Champions League. I think there will be matches we can win in the league stage."
