Confession-like statement from Lille: 'I am afraid of Fenerbahçe'

Fenerbahçe will face Swiss representative FC Lugano this evening in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round.

If Fenerbahçe advances, they will face Lille in the 3rd Qualifying Round.

Ahead of the critical match, Lille President Olivier Letang and goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier made notable statements.

Lille President Olivier Letang stated the following:

"Even if the wind is against us, we all know that airplanes take off against the wind! That is why we must all be ready to prepare in the best possible way for these two matches on August 6 and 13."

As Johan Cruyff said, ‘I’ve never seen a bag of money score a goal.’ Let’s be ready for this great challenge at the start of the season! These matches are already exciting and decisive to play. We are ambitious and we know our fans will be with us!"

Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier made the following comments:

"Fenerbahçe is the favorite in the Lugano matchup. I was afraid of Fenerbahçe because I think they are the most dangerous team we could have been paired with. I predict that Lugano could put them in a difficult position as well. We don't know who will advance. Whoever the opponent is, we must be ready. We have to earn our place in the Champions League."
