The resignation question that shocked Domenico Tedesco: 'I hope this is a joke!

Fenerbahçe Technical Director Domenico Tedesco made statements to the broadcaster after the 2-2 draw with Çaykur Rizespor. The Italian coach said the following: "We played a good game, our opponent had won five times in the last seven games. We knew it was going to be difficult. Actually, we played a very good first half. In the second half we conceded with the second shot on goal.

'What happened in the last minute was incredible'

But then our team showed both quality and mentality. We managed to turn the score around. What happened in the last minute was really unbelievable. Yes, it's part of the game, we are all human beings. We win and lose together. We need that focus again to move on. This is not the first time we have lost points in the last minutes. It also happened in the Alanyaspor and Kasımpaşa games. It's a bit crazy but it's part of the game.

'I like to play derbies'

First of all, we have a cup match to play. That match is important for us. All our focus has to be on that match. A derby match is always positive. I like to play such matches. We will be 100% in that match, like in every match. Today and tomorrow we will feel empty because of today's result."

'I hope your question is a joke!

Domenico Tedesco, asked at the press conference, "Are you thinking of resigning?", said the following: "It's a season with a lot of difficulties. The goal we conceded in the last minute against Alanyaspor, the goal we didn't score in the last minute in Antalya, the Kasımpaşa game and tonight... It's not easy. We feel disappointed. We want to beat Konya and reach the semifinals. Then we will play a nice derby match. I don't have any questions other than these. I hope your question is a joke. Because it is a crazy question. I continue to work with my full energy."
