Head coach of Turkish "Besiktas" Şenol Güneş summarised the results of the return match of his team with Dynamo Kyiv (1:0) in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification, which took place yesterday in Istanbul. Recall, on the sum of two meetings (3:2, 1:0) "Black Eagles" passed this stage of the tournament and will now play in its group stage.
"Given the way we played all six matches of the Conference League qualification, I believe that we deserved to go to the group stage.
Today we were one with our fans, the players in our team showed maximum commitment and strived to fulfil the set-up for the game. As a result, we simply did not allow the opponent to play their own football, to show their strengths.
Kyiv Dynamo is going through difficult times. There are very good players in this team, who play well if you let them do it, if you let them show their skills and talent. But that's exactly what we didn't let them do today.
I liked the match itself. It was tense from the first to the last minute. I think our fans enjoyed not only Besiktas' victory, but also the game itself. But we can play even better!", - said Gunesh at the press conference after the match with Dynamo.
