'The plan was not to play 90 minutes!' Tedesco on Skriniar injury

Fenerbahçe defeated Kayserispor 4-0 away from home in the 29th week of the Trendyol Super Lig. The Yellow-Navy Blues managed to keep their goalkeeper clean sheet for the second match in a row. Fenerbahçe, which reduced its point difference with the leader Galatasaray by 1 point with more than one match to play, continued its pursuit.

"WE TRIED TO DEFEND"

Fenerbahçe Technical Director Domenico Tedesco told the following to the broadcaster after the match:

"I think it's important to finish the game without conceding a goal. Defensive security is important. Kayserispor is a team that never gives up. Even at 3-0 they tried diagonal passes and crosses. This was our main topic during this national break. We focused on this. We practiced defending inside the penalty area, that was important. I don't know if we got these results because we practiced in training, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to attack together and defend together!"

SKRİNİNAR STATEMENT

Fenerbahçe's star stopper Milan Skriniar started the match in the starting 11 but was replaced by Çağlar Söyüncü at half-time. Tedesco gave an update on the Slovak captain's health:

"The plan was not to play Skriniar for 90 minutes. At half-time he said he felt fatigue in the area where he had a problem. We didn't risk it. There are six days until the next game. He is getting better every day."
