In Trabzonspor’s Inside Story about the Göztepe match, the moments when the players’ ambition and coach Fatih Tekke emphasized his trust in his students came to the fore. The 48-year-old coach used the following statements in his speech before the match: “The only thing that Trabzonspor fans expect from their players is to fight, to fight and to fight. Does he see that struggle, never holding back, no matter the outcome… Never giving up. He comes to the team injured, says ‘I will play injured’. We have shortcomings, I have them, you have them too. You will see that enthusiasm when you win, when you get what you deserve. And you did this, you.”
YOU ARE A HOPE, A HOPE
The most striking part of Tekke’s motivational speech was the trust he had in his players: “You are a hope, a hope. I see this. The team that was questioned became the feared team today. You did this. You will fight, you will use your mind. Very good things are waiting for you. You came deservedly.” Addressing the team once again in the dressing room after the Göztepe victory, the successful coach underlined both the struggle and the unity: “I thank you from my heart. Continue as you deserve. No matter who is injured, no matter who it is… You continue as you deserve,” he said.
