“We made a slow start into the League but eventually regained our usual rhythm. Besides, if you are a two-time champion, everyone is out to get you, so you need to be a little more cautious. The Champions League win over Porto FC has shown that we are on the right track. Every team has a chance to qualify in our group, and we are going to see who wants it more.
 
Scoring goals are always fun, but winning as a team is definitely more valuable. Therefore, we all play for the team not for ourselves. We have an important derby coming up against Fenerbahçe this Saturday, and we hope to return from Kadiköy with a good result.”
