Roman journalist asks Montella about 'resignation'

After the victory, Vincenzo Montella said, "Orkun Kökçü knows how much I love him.

We have a great relationship. I also know he is in good form. It was very difficult for me to start him on the bench today. I try to make decisions based on the team's needs.

I thought we would need a player with the characteristics of İsmail Yüksek in this match. I am well aware that Orkun is in good form right now."

When asked by a reporter from the Romanian press, "Will you resign if you lose the second match?", Montella replied, "A single match does not define the end of these two wonderful years. We have no such thoughts. Everyone knows our goal. There is no need to say much more. Do you resign immediately when you make a mistake while writing a news story!"
