Fenerbahçe's interim coach Dirk Kuijt has acknowledged the team's fragility after their 1-0 defeat to Göztepe in their first match under his leadership. The Dutchman, who previously played for Fenerbahçe from 2012 to 2015, expressed his disappointment with the result but maintained his confidence in the team.
Kuijt's staff and he tried to get the good energy in the group with the training sessions, but it seems their efforts were not enough to secure a win. The team had 72% ball possession before the break, which led to a beautiful goal. However, they failed to capitalize on their chances in the second half, conceding a goal due to an individual mistake.
Kuijt has emphasized the importance of winning games in their current situation, stating that victories are the best medicine. He also highlighted the team's potential, saying that they possess good players. The interim coach will now focus on their upcoming match against Liverpool in the Champions League, where he will face another old club.
Liverpool are set to visit Fenerbahçe in the Champions League on Wednesday.
