Milan Skriniar: We want to get the first points in the Champions League

Fenerbahçe will host the Italian team Roma in the first week match of the UEFA Champions League tomorrow at 19.45. Milan Skriniar, the Slovakian defender of the yellow-dark blue team, made a statement at the press conference held before the match. Saying that they were well prepared for the match, the experienced defender expressed his happiness that the Champions League returned to Kadıköy. Skriniar said, "We are very happy because the Champions League returned to this beautiful stadium after 18 years. We have a great responsibility towards the fans. Tomorrow's team is a very strong and organized team. We are well prepared. We want to get the first points in the Champions League."

'WE SHOULD COMBINE ALL OUR FORCES AND TARGET THEIR STRONG POINTS'

Stating that they need to be strong not only defensively but in all areas, Skriniar said, "A very strong team awaits us tomorrow. They have been fighting well from the first day. They have very good players such as Dybala and Malen. We must combine all our strengths, not only defensively, and target their strong points. Fenerbahçe plays to win."

'I PLAYED AGAINST GASPERINI MANY TIMES'

Reminding that he had played against Roma Coach Gian Piero Gasperini before, the Slovak defender said, "I played against Gasperini many times. He was in Atalanta. The matches were difficult because he plays a physical game. The quality increased even more with Roma. My team worked really well. We made comprehensive and detailed analyses. We had a very good training. We are ready for this fight."

The experienced defender continued his words with the following statements:

"We have experienced players playing in the Champions League. There are also less experienced players. The excitement always remains the same in the Champions League. We will do our best tomorrow."

'WE WANT TO SHOW THAT WE ARE A STRONG TEAM AND WE REALLY WANT TO EARN POINTS

Emphasizing that they are a strong team, Skriniar concluded his words by saying, "Personally, I do not feel much different. We were playing these matches as if we were in the Champions League. We returned to the Champions League after many years. We knew that the match we played in Lyon was a step towards playing in the Champions League. We did it, we are in the Champions League. We want to show that we are a strong team and that we really want to win points."
