Greek press cannot stop praising Fenerbahçe: 'They have the best attack in Turkey'

Our only representative in Europe, Fenerbahçe, has been paired with the Greek team Olympiacos in the quarterfinals of the Conference League.

The Yellow-Navies will play their first match away on April 11. Fenerbahçe's pairing with Olympiacos has received extensive coverage in the Greek press.

Greek journalists who follow Olympiacos shared their thoughts on the advantages of both teams ahead of the big clash in the quarterfinals.

Sports writers in the Greek press could not stop praising Fenerbahçe.

Here is the assessment of the Greek journalists;

"THE ATMOSPHERE IN TURKEY IS MAGNIFICENT"

Anastasios Nikologiannis: "Olympiacos played the first legs of their qualifying ties so far (against Ferencváros and Maccabi Tel Aviv) at home. Playing the first leg at home brought luck to Olympiacos because they eliminated both opponents. So, playing the first leg at home seems good for Olympiacos. The atmosphere in stadiums in Turkey is magnificent; I have experienced it up close, and the truth is that Fenerbahçe fans help their team a lot. Fenerbahçe is a team with tremendous attacking quality. The transfers they made have helped them both in the league and in Europe. Midfielder Tadic and forward Batshuayi are the players I single out. The fact that Fenerbahçe lost to Olympiacos twice in UEFA Europa League matches three years ago will make them more cautious. Undoubtedly, this situation will provide them with great motivation for the battle to advance." (Sport FM 94,6 Radio) 

"THE TEAM WITH THE BEST ATTACK IN TURKEY" 

Nikos Athanasiou: "I think every opponent facing Fenerbahçe would prefer to play the second leg at home. Because we know that the atmosphere in Fenerbahçe's stadium is like hell, and it is always better to play the first leg there, not the second. With this year's squad, Fenerbahçe has become an incredible team with great talent and creative quality. Fenerbahçe is a team that has the best attack in the Turkish League. Players like Szymanski, Dzeko, and Tadic can tear apart any opponent when they are on their day." (Gazetta) 

"THEY WILL WANT REVENGE"

Vassilis Nanis: "I haven't watched too many Fenerbahçe matches this year, but I know they are in a strong rivalry with Galatasaray for the championship in the Turkish League. Of course, this year Fenerbahçe has great players like Dzeko, Tadic, Bonucci, and Fred. If I had to choose one as the most dangerous player, I would probably say Dzeko. Fenerbahçe is a better team now, and I think they see these matches as an opportunity to take revenge for the matches in 2021. However, every match is different, and when it comes to European matches, Olympiacos has a lot of experience." (To Tima Newspaper) 

"MUST BE CAREFUL WITH DZEKO AND TADIC"

Sotiris Kostavaras: Fenerbahçe currently has very high-quality players. Dzeko, Bonucci, Fred, Çağlar Söyüncü, Michy Batshuayi, Tadic, and others... A lot of star players and a very deep squad. Due to their defensive problems, Olympiacos must be careful with Dzeko, who plays very effectively despite being 38 years old, and Tadic, who is very intelligent. I also think Szymanski is a key player for the team in midfield. (Sportal.Gr)
