Conor Coady: Onus on Wolves to silence hostile Besiktas crowd
Conor Coady believes the onus is on Wolves to silence the hostile home crowd at Besiktas' Vodafone Park.
Skipper Coady is preparing to lead Wolves into their first away game of the Europa League group stages tomorrow night.
And speaking at the pre-match press conference in Istanbul Coady, 26, was relishing the test of battling Turkish top tier side Besiktas on their home turf.
Coady and company trained at Compton Park as usual this morning and arrived in Turkey just before 10pm.
And the Wolves captain is aiming to block out the anticipated hostile crowd.
He said: "It will be an amazing experience it really is.
"It is something we have been looking forward to for a while.
"You try and block it out as much as possible.
"We have a way of playing and I think it is up to us to frustrate the crowd as much as possible, because we know how much they help the team here and get behind them.
"But we have played in intimidating atmospheres before.
"We know how to do it, how to play and we will stick to what we do."
Coady and the rest of Nuno Espirito Santo's defence will be hoping to tame experienced forward Burak Yilmaz.
The 34-year-old ex-Galatasaray man and Turkish international is expected to lead the line tomorrow night.
Like Wolves the Istanbul-based side have struggled domestically and go into the clash 16th in the Turkish Super Lig table.
And Coady says Wolves are prepared as they bid to build on that first Premier League win over Watford on Saturday by picking up their first Europa League group points.
Coady said: "We know all about him already because of the type of striker he is and how good he is.
"We did not have too watch too many clips, but we have watched them.
"We know how much of a top, top striker he is and we have to make sure we do it properly to stop, not just him, but some of their other top class players.
"They have some real experienced players, they are a fantastic team.
"We have to make sure we go into the game playing our own game, sticking close too each other because it will be a huge, huge night for us."
