Jorge Jesus: “We don’t see the match with Dynamo as revenge”
On the eve of the Europa League group stage Fenerbahçe – Dinamo 1st round match, Portuguese Jorge Jesus admitted that Istanbulites do not have a vengeful mood. The coach said that his team does not intend to face the Ukrainians due to the failure in the Champions League qualifiers.
“We were paired with Dynamo Kyiv again. There are always second chances in football. I think we are stronger than a month ago. Things happened to us that didn’t happen very often in football in previous games we played with them. We are stronger now. We do not see this match as a rematch. For us, this is a normal match like any other opponent in the group. In football you always have to respect your opponents. I also always respect my opponents. But I want to win every match.
We know that we have the qualifications and the ambition to make it to the playoffs from the group. I think the three teams in the group are equal. These are Rennes, Dynamo Kyiv and Fenerbahce. We want to start tomorrow’s tournament with a win. We are confident that we have the qualifications to win the next game,” said Jesus.
The match between Fenerbahce and Dinamo will be played on Thursday, September 8 in Istanbul. The start is at 19:45 Kyiv time.

Ukrainian defender Nottingham Forest Alexander Zinchenko He shared his feelings after his team beat Utrecht (2:1) in the main round of the Europa League.
“It’s a great feeling. First of all, I’m back. Secondly, it’s an incredible feeling to win a match. Getting three points today was very important for us. As you can see, it was a difficult match. But at the end of the match, I think we got what we wanted and let’s continue like that.”
“As a defender you always want to keep a clean sheet, but unfortunately we couldn’t do that today. So it’s something we need to work on in the future.”
“This is one of those matches where whoever wins the most challenges in different areas of the field will win the match. Today we won many more goals which helped us a lot in the game. But to be honest, even the opportunities we created, including me, we should have scored and finished this match earlier,” said Zinchenko.
Nottingham Forest is in 11th place in the rankings with 11 points after 6 matches in the Europa League this season.
