Mattia Croci-Torti, the coach of the Swiss team Lugano, which will host Beşiktaş tomorrow in the UEFA Europa League play-off round rematch, emphasized the change in Beşiktaş, which they faced last season, and said, “I can say that they are better now in terms of a change in mentality.” he said.
Lugano Coach Mattia Croci-Torti and one of the team’s players, Renato Steffen, answered questions at the press conference held at Tüpraş Stadium regarding the Beşiktaş match.
Croci-Torti said, “We came here very prepared. We had a week’s rest. During this time, we were psychologically well prepared. We are ready for the match. We came to win. Not only are our 2 players with us, but apart from that, we are ready for the match as a team.” he said.
Reminding that they faced Beşiktaş last season, the coach said, “We want to be successful and go forward in the Europa League. We are well prepared. We know the power of Beşiktaş. Let’s not forget our match last year. We won here last year too. We are here to win again.” he said.
When asked whether Beşiktaş is stronger than last year, Croci-Torti said, “There is a change in mentality rather than the players changing in Beşiktaş. They started the season with a 5-0 win against Galatasaray and after that they won two matches in the league again. As for the change in mentality, I can say that they are better now.” “But nothing much will change for us. We will try to go out and be successful here like last year.” he said.
