Mittelstadt: We Have to Be Fierce Against Galatasaray

In Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray will host German side Stuttgart. Ahead of the tough encounter, Stuttgart's experienced player Maximilian Mittelstadt commented on the match and on Galatasaray.

Mittelstadt said they are ready for the atmosphere at Galatasaray's ground. Responding to the question, "Did you prepare for the atmosphere by listening to heavy metal?", Mittelstadt said that even that could not replace what they will experience at the Galatasaray Stadium. Recalling the atmosphere of last season's match against Fenerbahçe, the German player said they expect the stands to be very fiery in this match as well.

Pointing to Galatasaray's success in recent years, Mittelstadt noted that the yellow and red club has also been successful in the Champions League and produced outstanding matches last season. Stressing that the opponent has world-class stars, Mittelstadt said they therefore need to be fierce against Galatasaray. Mittelstadt, who said Stuttgart is also a very strong team that has performed well against opponents of this level, noted that they believe they can hurt Galatasaray.

Mittelstadt, who said he is familiar with Turkish football, described Galatasaray as a special team. The German player also touched on the star names in the yellow and red side's attack and said there is no luxury of making mistakes. Naming Osimhen and Leão, Mittelstadt said that whoever plays, all of them are very high-quality players, and that they will probably have to defend a lot.
