Daum: "We Played Really Good & Deserved To Win"

Fenerbahçe manager Christoph Daum spoke to the press after his team's 1-0 win over FC Twente in the UEFA Europa League on Wednesday night. "We played a really good 95 minutes and deserved to win the game," commented Daum. The German coach also stated that his side had attained their second target of the season, by qualifying through to the next round of the competition as group leaders.

Yellow Canaries boss Christoph Daum spoke to reporters after his side's Europa League win over Dutch side FC Twente on Wednesday night. Daum began his words by stating that both sides had found many chances on goal and commented that it was a very exciting game.

The German coach then said that Fenerbahçe could have found a second goal near the end of the match, when Twente went out on counter-attacks. "But in my opinion,   1-0 is a good result. We couldn't make it 2-0 or 3-0, because Twente fought very well," explained Christoph Daum. 

"Twente fought well and they made it very difficult for us," the Fener boss continued. "However, we played a really good 95 minutes and we deserved to win the game," commented Daum. 

Daum then revealed that Fenerbahçe had now attained their second target of the season. "Our first target was to win the Turkish Super Cup. We did that by beating Beşiktaş," he said. "Our second target was to finish this group as leaders, and we did that too," explained Daum. 

The German coach then congratulated Twente and wished them the best of luck. "They deserve it," said Daum. "We played twice, they won one game and we won the other," he continued. The Fener boss also thanked the Dutch side for a warm welcome. "We saw some good football and we also made good friends," he added.

Christoph Daum also commented about Dani Güiza's reactions while he was being substituted off the pitch. The Fener manager said that he would talk this through with Güiza. "It's normal for him to get upset. No player would want to be taken off, but every player's reaction would be different," said Daum. "However, he should have been more respectful towards his teammate who was entering the game," he added.

Lastly, he also spoke about the friction between Semih Şentürk and Cristian Baroni. "Of course, I do not approve, but it goes to show that my players have enough energy and time," said Daum. "This proves that they have good match condition," he added. Daum ended his words by commenting that Selçuk had played well in tonight's game, filling in well for Emre Belözoğlu.

Karşılaşmanın ikinci yarısında Brezilyalı futbolcu Cristian Baroni, bir pozisyonda araya attığı topu yakalayamayan Semih'i sert bir şekilde uyardı. İlerleyen dakikalarda Lugano'nun elle kestiği pozisyon sonrası verilen serbest vuruşun ardından baraj kurulurken, iki futbolcu tekrar tartışmaya başladı. Semih ve Cristian daha sonra soyunma odasında barıştılar.

When Semih couldn't pick up Baroni's through ball, Baroni gave him a harsh warning. Then, when Lugano handballed and there was a freekick, Baroni and Semih began arguing in the wall. They later made peace in the dressing room.

polat10 • 02:08 • December 3, 2009
and i honestly did not even know we had a game today lol. i was really surprised
polat10 • 02:19 • December 3, 2009
fenerbahce do have to many brazilians, this is a turkish team were not brazil. we need to get more turks and more european players. im sick and tired of transferring brazillian players. this is enough.
efe10 • 03:00 • December 3, 2009
Baroni played very very good. nobody got by him and he was good on attack too.
polat10 • 03:17 • December 3, 2009
i didnt see the match cause i was in god damn school, but i saw the highlights. pretty tight game.

guiza still sucks, just throwin that out.
skulaksiz • 03:37 • December 3, 2009
poloat, i'm disappointed. if you weren't even aware there was a game today, you shouldn't be making half of the comments you make here. sometimes i read them and think, wow, here's someone who's following every game and every position in every match. anyway, i also sense that there is some tension between cristian/dos santos and those turkish players like emre and semih who work hard for this team in their own right. i hope it's not a general brazilian/turkish tension but just incidents that do not reflect the general atmosphere in the team.
fener-pnw • 03:41 • December 3, 2009
Yea - right lets get more Turkish players so that we can develop them at the expense of Fenerbahce - our pro club. Let's get rid of Alex, Baroni, etc. and replace them with the great Turkish players that got us all the way to the elimination bracket of the world cup. I am being harsh but we have a very good team.
polat10 • 03:44 • December 3, 2009
chill the f**k out man just because i did not know there was one god damn game! are you f**king kidding me, o im not a fan just because i missed one god damn game. i have f**king school during the day ok so i cant always keep in track of what fenerbahce does ok. i have a life of my own you know its not like i just watch the tv until fenerbahce comes on. no i have my family, school, and other things to worry about. and if your thinking im not that much a fan of the team just because i did not know there was 1 god damn game then there is really nothing for me to say.

polat10 • 03:48 • December 3, 2009
p.s. my dad didnt even know there was a game today, you want to tell him that hes not a fan either. and that he should stop thinking the same exact things i think of about fenerbahce with all these problems that are going on? i have my own life to worry about at the moment. i love fenerbahce and i say my opinions on this site like everyone else. and your really gonna tell me this?
Rokkafellah10 • 03:53 • December 3, 2009

polat10 • 03:55 • December 3, 2009

GFB_HOLLANDA u can take Ozil and Tasci and shove them up ur as!!! becuase they are not proud turks and i would not like to see a turk who plays for Germany in FB!!!
Prisonbreak94 • 16:07 • December 3, 2009
Is Daum retarded? How can he link Semih vs Christian argument to ''good match condition''.ROFL.
Rapaz_Brasileiro • 16:16 • December 3, 2009
So true fener1907.. Özil and Tasci ain't Turkish, They may have Turkish blood but when a Turk has too choose between Turkey and another country he should say Turkey without any doubt! Same for Inler btw, with special thanks too Daum. :(
