Alexander Nübel's comments on Vincenzo Italiano: 'If he could play...'

Beşiktaş's German goalkeeper, Alexander Nübel, reflected on the team's hard-fought victory against Midtjylland. He described the match as a challenging encounter against a strong opponent, noting that the opposition receiving a red card proved fortunate for Beşiktaş. The team took the lead with a goal from Orkun, and Nübel expressed a desire for more goals, but ultimately happiness with the win.

Nübel also commented on a critical save he made during the game. He emphasized its importance, explaining that if Midtjylland had scored at that moment, it would have been difficult for Beşiktaş to find a winning goal, especially since the opponent was defending deeply. He credited the team's overall defensive effort, noting they only conceded one significant chance.

The German goalkeeper specifically praised Beşiktaş's coach, Vincenzo Italiano, for his energetic sideline presence. Nübel described Italiano as "crazy" on the sidelines, highlighting his complete immersion in the game. "Our coach is one hundred percent here, on the field and in the game. He constantly pushes us. He wants to help us. If he could play, he would want to play himself," Nübel stated.

Nübel concluded by emphasizing how Italiano's motivation and constant involvement from the sidelines significantly aid the team. "His motivation on the sidelines and his constant presence in the game helps us a lot," he added.
