Post-match reaction from Beşiktaş Head Coach Vincenzo Italiano:

"We were faster and more effective in this match compared to the previous one. However, we need to be more creative to score goals.

Actually, this is normal, as we only started training eight days ago. I can say that we are working very hard and will become much stronger once our new signings and players currently on international duty join the squad. Right now, we are training mostly with young players, but I am pleased with them because they give their all in the matches.

We will field our strongest squad against Midtjylland. Our physical condition will also be at a higher level by then. In the meantime, we are working on new game strategy and tactics.

This team will be 100% ready when the league starts; we just need a little more time right now.

I am enthusiastic  and highly motivated. Both the club and I are completely focused on success... I believe that if we continue to work hard, we will ultimately reap the rewards."
