Expressing that he was happy to be on the field for the first time in a yellow and red jersey, Nelsson said:
“I played my first match with Galatasaray jersey. I am happy. The ambiance of our fans and the atmosphere they created were great. I felt very good. I am happy that I played 90 minutes in my first match. Since I am a defender, my most important job is to defend. I am someone who likes to put the ball away, defend and protect my own pen. I care about ground and air interventions and I’m good at it. I like to attack, I like to pass between blocks, but my main job is to defend.”
