Fenerbahçe Coach Ismail Kartal: 'No Problems Between Asensio and Me'

Fenerbahçe Coach Ismail Kartal made statements to the press before the Gornik Zabrze match. Kartal said, 'We played good football in the first match in Istanbul, we could have won differently, but we won 1-0. We are well-concentrated for tomorrow's match.' Emphasizing that all his players are valuable, Kartal said, 'The performance of my players is improving every day. We have players who need time, we will create alternatives for the center forward from within ourselves.' Evaluating the allegations of a problem between him and Spanish star player Marco Asensio, Kartal said, 'I really laugh at these comments. We are really focused on everything as a team. There is no problem between Asensio and me.' Fenerbahçe's Portuguese defender Nelson Semedo also expressed his eagerness for the match. Semedo said, 'We are facing a tough match tomorrow. We will play against a good team and we know they will play in front of their fans.'
