Beşiktaş Coach Vincenzo Italiano said that Belgian football player Leandro Trossard is a player very suitable for the game system and will shine in the black and white team.
The Italian coach made a statement to the press after the Spartak Trnava match played at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium in Trnava, Slovakia.
Stating that they worked with a lot of young players in the camp abroad, Italiano said, "I think our camp period started 4-5 days ago. Because there were really young players before that. In this last period, players of a certain level joined us. More experienced players came from the national team. That's why the camp has just started for us. Of course, that was not easy for us either. We had started the season early, but I can say that it has just started. Now we will have three days off. Our camp ends today, we will have three days off in Istanbul. Then, we will have very hard activities in our facility in Istanbul again. We'll start." he said.
Referring to the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round matches to be played against the Danish representative Midtjylland, the 48-year-old coach said, "We all know how important the Midtjylland match is. We will do our best in this match as well. I am also pleased with today's game. We had a loss of concentration at some point, but I think the match was fine until we experienced that loss of concentration. Of course, we are sorry for the loss. But I still saw some crumbs today. I saw the crumbs of good things, the future, that we are watching good things." I think." he said.
Emphasizing that they will continue their new season activities in Istanbul, the experienced coach said:
"To be honest, I don't know exactly when and on what date we will be ready, but the Midtjylland match is really important. We are preparing well for it. The new players received little time, they arrived late. This is a disadvantage for us. But they will be even better. We will also work on their physical development in the coming days. Since they arrived late, they may get little time, they did friendly matches or little training. I am only a little sad for this. It is neither my fault nor the club's fault. Unfortunately, the World Cup prolonged this process. Midtjylland "We will play the match at home, in front of our fans. That's why we have a special passion. Let me say this, this team will not be 100 percent ready, but this team will do everything it can against Midtjylland. At the same time, I think we will get a good result with our fans."
"There is no need to say much about Trossard"
Vincenzo Italiano had words full of praise for the Belgian football player Leandro Trossard, whom Beşiktaş brought to Istanbul to finalize the transfer negotiations.
Emphasizing that he knows the playing style of the 31-year-old football player, Italiano said:
"There is no need to say much about Trossard. I know it, you all know it. We all know what level of player he is. We also know how valuable a player he is. Trossard is a player very suitable for our system. He is a player who can shine more in my system. He is already a very good wing, very good one-on-ones. He is also a player with very good shots. He is a player who can contribute to goals. Six friends have already joined us. New friends will also join us and I think we will have a more valuable and more important squad with them."
Italiano stated that the black-white team will be an aggressive and attacking team.
Stating that they showed important signs for the future in the Spartak Trnava match, Vincenzo Italiano continued his speech with the following words:
"Today we played against a team of a certain level. I said the same words to the children inside. I think we showed some things in this match. Of course there are things that need to be corrected. Can we be better, we can be. But as I said, we showed some things. How will Beşiktaş be? It will be aggressive, it will try to score goals, but it will also have to pay attention to defense. Because in today's match, we had two shots on goal, but we conceded three goals. That's why we need to be more careful. But I repeat, it will be an aggressive team. It will be a team that tries to create goal chances. "It will be a team that tries to score, it will always be a team that tries to play forward, but it will also be a team that has to be very careful in defense. This is important for us and I think we will be much better when we accelerate our game and pay more attention to these details."
"I think the team should be more ruthless, hungrier"
The experienced coach stated that his team should be "more ruthless and more finishing" in front of the goal.
Recalling that they scored 2 goals against Spartak Trnava, Italiano said, "Could we have scored more, we definitely could have. Today, I think we also showed that we could create more scoring chances. We have that capacity. Because when we think about the old friendly matches, I think we created more chances in front of the goal. But there is another very important thing here: balance. We must be balanced. The better we are at the front, the better we must be at the back. The more pressure we are at the front, the more careful we must be in defense. The key word here is, "I think the team should be more ruthless and hungrier. When we work on these, I think we can be more finishing and sharper in front of the goal." made his assessment.
Drawing attention with his energy on the field, Italiano gave the following answer to a question on the subject:
"As long as my health allows, yes, you will definitely see me like this. As long as I live, you will always see me the same way. I am someone who always wants to live the moment and you will see me that way again on the sidelines, but as I said, as long as my health allows. Because I want to contribute something to the children. They already know me now, they know what kind of a man I am. They have things that I see from the outside. They do not see it, but I try to give it to them. They are aware of it. That's why I am a person who lives like this. I will continue to live like this. As if I am doing my best to help them. "I'm like their 12th friend off the field."
