Ancelotti spoke before the Lille-Galatasaray match: I want to put pressure on the team! Berke number 1

Lille Coach Davide Ancelotti spoke before the Galatasaray match in the Champions League.

"We are currently on the same terms and equal with Galatasaray. We are aware that they have a quality squad. Being on our own field will be an opportunity for us."

"Are you feeling positive until the Galatasaray match?"

Davide Ancelotti: "I feel positive emotions. Now is the time to get points in the Champions League, if you get points you will advance to the next round. Our goal is, of course, to play a competitive match against Galatasaray and collect points. Our only goal is to advance in the Champions League."

"IT IS AN ADVANTAGE OF PLAYING AT HOME"

"I want to put a lot of pressure on the players about the Galatasaray match. I want them to concentrate. This is a Champions League match, we will play in a perfect ambience. The Betis match was the same, even though we lost. It is an advantage that we play at home, our fans will be with us and support us."

"WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS"

"Apart from Giroud, what other options do you have in attack?"

- Davide Ancelotti: "I pay attention to Giroud, everyone in the team needs him. We have options other than Giroud. We have Gaetan Perrin. I will not mention everyone's names one by one. We have options other than Giroud."

"I WILL SET UP 11 WITHOUT HIM"

"We aim for the team to play balancedly. We want to play together. We want to have creative moments. All players need to share this. We need to show dynamism and creativity against Galatasaray. They need to be mobile. I lost a very important player, Tiago Santos. I will have to form a new 11 without him."

"There are so many missing, what kind of 11 will it be?"

- Davide Ancelotti: "There are injuries and absences in my squad, but this does not mean that we cannot find a solution. If there is a deficiency, there is a solution. The path I want to follow is very clear, we want to be self-confident and beat Galatasaray. Of course, there are also negative things, we have to deal with them and stay strong."

"Berke Özer gives very good performances, what do you think about him?"

- Davide Ancelotti: "Berke is our number 1 player. He is a very important player for our team. He has been playing with us for two seasons, he is a player who plays consistently. He has the trust of his teammates, I trust him too. He will be ready to play against Galatasaray. We hope he will always stay at this level. Berke is a very important player that I trust in the next matches as well."

"How will you respond to Galatasaray's offensive game?"

- Davide Ancelotti: "We are playing a somewhat positional game. Our midfield must be strong. We must play a somewhat positional attack. The same goes for defense. There will be moments in the match when we need to move sometimes inside and sometimes wide. First of all, the team's balance and positive approach are important."

"Concerns have been expressed about security at tomorrow's match. What do you think?"
