The head coach of Turkish Samsunspor, Thomas Rice, commenting on the victory over Warsaw’s Legia (1:0) in yesterday’s match of the first round of the main stage of the Conference League, touched upon his team’s next match in this tournament — against Kyiv’s Dynamo, which will take place on October 23 in Samsun.
Thomas Rice“I am proud of my team. This is our first victory in Europe. If we judge by the first half, we played quite well. Of course, it wasn’t the game we wanted to see, but in the second half, we had to work even harder.
However, we knew that the match would be difficult. We played against a very strong team. The players who came on in the second half for Legia were of a very high level.
Today we achieved a magnificent victory, earning three points at the start. But there are still five matches ahead, and the next one is against Kyiv’s Dynamo. We will be playing at home, and we want to win every match, but the upcoming encounter will definitely be difficult,” said Rice at the post-match press conference.
