Fenerbahçe lost 2-1 to Dynamo Kiev in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Our coach Jorge Jesus made statements at the press conference held after the match.

Regarding the match, Jesus said, “Like every match, this match has a story. Fenerbahçe was the side that played well until the break of the match. We had 7 shots to the opponent’s goal, our opponent had no shots to the goal. Everyone in the stadium believed that Fenerbahce was the one who skipped the round when they were 11v11, but İsmail’s red card changed the course of the match. At that moment, our team lost its organizational structure, its balance was disturbed and at this moment our opponent scored the goal. Our team believed, put spirit, fought even though we were at a disadvantage and Enner Valencia missed the penalty. But our team continued to maintain its courage. Since the team played 1 person missing, I tried to give directions to my players from the side of the field. Of course, you won’t be happy when you leave, but the team should leave here with their heads high because they ran really hard. The lack of experience today was decisive in the outcome of the match and in our elimination.” made its assessment.

Then, answering the questions of the members of the press, Jesus’ statements are as follows:

“Transfers are of course made with my approval, but I don’t think it’s right to talk about this in the story of this match. I am sure that our fans who came to the stadium today left the stadium proud of their teams. We fought really well when the match was 11 vs. 11, even when 1 person was missing. The moment we remained 10 people, the team responded very well on the field, he believed. But in the Champions League, small details are decisive. This is how it happened today. The red card was the deciding factor for us. When we looked at the statistics, we had the ball 60% of the time when it was 11 to 11. We had 7 shots, the opponent only had 1 shot. But the red card affected our control of the match. Then our team caught the draw, they ran really hard. But our physical capacity was not enough in overtime. It was really hard to play for 30 more minutes with 1 player missing. This was decisive in the score of today’s match. It was seen that Fenerbahçe was the side that was closer in overtime. All of these things affected the outcome of today’s match.

I work with the actors during the week. I see how they are physically. We make our decisions with this in mind. In the first game we played in Poland, the team was good. There was no physical problem. So it wouldn’t be fair to change that team. Our player in the king striker position is his alternative, Serdar Dursun. And Serdar Dursun is not very ready for the matches, but I don’t think it is right to evaluate him as A player or B player at the moment. I attribute the reason why we were eliminated today, not because player A played, but player B did not play, but because we stayed a little bit 10. This is the story of the match. We also played against a very good team. Maybe you don’t know Dynamo Kiev very well, but they are a really great team. They are not just any team. I am proud of the performance of my team.

(Emre Mor) The reason for leaving the game is purely physical. In fact, he started well after entering the game, but after 10 minutes he said that he did not feel well. He was having trouble following the opponent’s fullback. That’s why we made the change. I am satisfied with the performance of the players who entered the game. After the changes we made, we got the draw. We scored from the set ball. These are part of football. From time to time, players who enter the game later can leave the game due to both physical and tactical reasons. This isn’t the first time I’ve done it. Our players who entered the game later, even though we were missing one person, they really helped us to be better in terms of organization. We scored a goal with them and we achieved a draw.

I don’t like to talk about the referees after the games we won or the games we lost. Although I think King’s canceled goal is normal. We can say that İsmail’s second yellow card is a bit heavy. He touched the ball first, but normal İsmail is a young player and is playing for the first time in the Champions League. This is true for many players in our team. The team we play for is very experienced in the Champions League. They have been playing together for about 5 years. We have been training together for 5 weeks. This is what caused us to lose. Details and mistakes are decisive. This is how it happened today.

Fenerbahçe started the season earlier than any team in Europe. Transferring is not easy at this time. Many European teams opened the season after us. They do not decide on the players they will send as soon as the season starts. We are in a difficult period of the transfer process. Usually the last weeks are decisive. It is difficult for Fenerbahçe and other Turkish teams to talk about transfers. It’s not an easy time to transfer players.”
