Maximilian Mittelstadt: "We think we can hurt Galatasaray"

In the 4th week of the UEFA Champions League, German team Stuttgart will play away against Galatasaray tomorrow. Before this match, Stuttgart's German football player Maximilian Mittelstadt answered the questions of the press at RAMS Park.

Stating that they will play a special match in the Champions League, Mittelstadt said, "It is exciting to be in Istanbul. We saw the atmosphere here in the Fenerbahçe match in the Europa League last year. It was a very hot match. We are prepared for such a hot environment. It will be at a very high level. We will hear many whistles. We are aware of this. It will be a very special match. We are looking forward to it."

"WE WANT TO LEAVE WITH POINTS"

Stating that there will be many factors that will disturb them in the match tomorrow, the 29-year-old football player said, "There will be a lot of whistling. I hope it will motivate. I hope our power will not scare us. Such an atmosphere would be pleasing. Playing the match in Istanbul is very exciting. It is not something we can experience all the time. We want to leave the match with points tomorrow."

"I HAD TURKISH FRIENDS"

Stating that he watched Galatasaray's matches in the past, the German football player said, "I grew up in Berlin. I had Turkish friends. I know Turkish football. I have been familiar with it since my childhood. It is a special team. I remember many Champions League matches last year, against Liverpool, for example. We must open our eyes from the first minute tomorrow. We must not make mistakes. I think it will be a very hot match. We will do our best to leave the field with a victory tomorrow."

"THERE ARE EXTRAORDINARY OFFENSIVE PLAYERS"

Stating that they prepared specifically for Galatasaray, Maximilian Mittelstadt said, "We also know that their defense is very good. We know that they are extraordinary offensive players. Osimhen is very dangerous, he has shown that he is one of the best forwards in recent years. Not only Osimhen, there are other very good players. They have stars at the international level. Their defense is also strong. We still prepared well. We know what awaits us."

"WE THINK WE CAN HURT G.SARAY"

Emphasizing that they have seen what Galatasaray has done in recent years, Mittelstadt said, "Without underestimating ourselves, claiming to be the favorite can be a big claim. We think we can hurt Galatasaray. We are also strong. We show that we can win against top teams like Galatasaray. Like the performance in the Atletico Madrid match, for example. We have achieved a good flow in the Champions League. We want to continue this tomorrow."

ATMOSPHERE WORDS

Stating that every player wishes to play football in an atmosphere like the Galatasaray stadium, the German football player said, "You will play football in an extraordinary atmosphere, perhaps that is why we started playing football. You see how much passion there is in Turkish football. We also know how the Fenerbahçe match plays in the air. We know what is expected of us. We must play the match tomorrow with 100 percent."

Maximilian Mittelstadt added that they did not meet with German football players Leroy Sane and İlkay Gündoğan, who play for Galatasaray, before the match.
