Domenico Tedesco: You have to score goals

In the Turkish Cup quarter-final match, Konyaspor defeated their guests Fenerbahçe 1-0 with a penalty goal in extra time, securing their place in the semi-finals.

Fenerbahçe manager Domenico Tedesco made important statements after the match.

"IF VAR SAYS SO, THEN IT IS A PENALTY"

Speaking about the penalty awarded in favor of Konyaspor in the 120+2 minute, Tedesco said, "If VAR gives such a penalty, we have to accept it; it must be a penalty. The goal we conceded in the Rizespor match affected us. That is the reality."

"IF YOU DON'T SCORE, YOU CAN'T ADVANCE"

Evaluating the match, Tedesco stated, "We didn't see the spirit we wanted at the beginning of the match. As the match went on, we played better. We played our best game in the first half of extra time. We created chances. If you don't score, you can't advance to the next round. If you don't score, you can concede. Therefore, you have to score goals."

"THEY WILL DO THEIR BEST IN THE DERBY"

Continuing his remarks, Tedesco said, "We must move on. The team will do their best in the derby. They have performed very well in big matches. First, we need to recover. They played for 120 minutes. We played 1 day before Galatasaray, but we played 120 minutes in this match. We will have a few training sessions before the derby."

WILL ASENSIO PLAY IN THE DERBY?

Regarding the condition of the injured Marco Asensio, Tedesco said, "I hope Marco Asensio will be ready for the derby. We need him. We plan for him to train individually tomorrow, and then with the team for 3 days."
