Ezgjan Alioski, who stated that he saw Fenerbahçe as a family and touched on the positive atmosphere within the team, also emphasized the importance of the support of the fans.
Headlines from Alioski’s statements are as follows:
“I EXPERIENCED GREAT FEELINGS”
The atmosphere at the stadium was great last night. I had great feelings during the match, I was very happy. There is a group of fans coming to watch you, which makes you feel great. I’m very happy to score a goal, but more important than that was to win. It’s nice to score good goals and contribute to the team, but it’s always the team that matters. Winning as a team is very, very valuable. I hope we continue this way. The atmosphere was very nice and sometimes you can’t find words to describe this atmosphere. I am also experiencing this right now. I felt very happy when I scored a goal on our field. When the fans support you like this, you feel much better when you score goals in return.
“LAST YEAR I WANTED TO COME TO FENERBAHÇE”
Actually, I wanted to come to Fenerbahçe last year, but this did not happen. It can happen as part of the job, but I’ve always dreamed of playing for this great club. When you want certain things wholeheartedly and mutually, it can happen and it did. When I heard about Fenerbahce’s interest in me, I was also very excited. When I heard again that there would be such an opportunity, I was very very happy and wished to be here as soon as possible, and it happened. It’s great to be here. I want to give my all and give my best for this jersey, working with my teammates to be successful and make the fans happy. I enjoy being here and have good times. If you are already in such a club, you will have good times.
“I SEE THIS AS FAMILY”
One of the most important things when you go to a place far from your country is to work well in your new club. Of course, you may not be good friends with everyone. I think it’s very important for people to understand each other. You should always be in contact with your teammates. I see this place as my family. In the best way, you need to keep in touch. You have to have good conversations and get to know each other very well. Because we fight together, we play together. It is very important to trust each other and fight for each other. In this way, you can achieve much more successful results. If you start fighting for your teammate, you want to help him. We need to show this spirit. Personally, I am a positive person. I am someone who likes to have fun and joke. I am serious when appropriate. We will continue to be friendly towards each other.
I am someone who likes to play tennis. I used to play tennis matches all the time with my friends in Switzerland. I also enjoy playing computer games, but I don’t have much time to do these activities. This job is not as easy as everyone thinks. Because you are constantly on a busy calendar. You are wasting your time to stay fit.
People from my family live in Istanbul. It’s not my first time coming to Istanbul. This is a place that attracts and connects me. We have similar cultures. There are also many Turks living in parts of Macedonia. Our cultures are pretty much the same. Istanbul is one of the best cities in the world for me. I have always loved this place, but living is very different and this will be my first experience. I am also very excited to see new places. I had heard a lot about Fenerbahce, but after I joined the club, I liked it even more.
“ELJIF IS A WONDERFUL PERSON”
(Eljif Elmas’ contribution to the transfer process) Obviously, such rumors appeared in the media that he convinced me to come here. But before I came here, I did not give such a speech. Yes, we talked to him after signing with the club, but we didn’t have such a dialogue before. Last year we were talking to him about these issues because we were together in the national team, but this year nothing like that happened. He congratulated me after I agreed with this place. Eljif is a wonderful person. He is also someone who always displays a positive character. A football player with great talent. I wish him the best in his career. His performance is also very important for our national team. He is a very good friend of mine. I am happy to have a friend like him.
“THE TEAM HAS A LOT OF PLAYERS WHO CAN PLAY IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS”
Undoubtedly, it is a good thing, but there are different players in the team besides me who play in different positions. This is an advantageous situation for you because you can switch to a situation where you can change the system during the match. This is also a very useful and positive point for the teacher. Tactically, it is a point that can affect the course of the match. It’s nice to have variable players because there aren’t many players in the world who can play in such different positions. There are many more players besides me who can play in different positions in the team. This is true and beautiful in my opinion.
“OUR TEACHER AND THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE TEACH US NEW THINGS”
When you work with such high level instructors, obviously a player has the opportunity to learn a lot. You have the opportunity to learn new things every day. In tactical meetings, you gain a lot in terms of communication, you learn a lot, which is very important to me. If the players believe in the system, the idea that the coach told us, and the philosophy of the coach, in my opinion, the team will achieve success. It’s not something for today or tomorrow, it’s something that will happen over time. We need to develop and demonstrate this system in the best way until the end of the season. The positive side is that we are improving ourselves. In this sense, we are grateful not only to the teacher but also to the technical team, because they teach us new things every day and convince us about the game we need to play. It’s not easy stuff because you have to do them every day. These are very important details. If you want to be successful, you must follow this path.
“WE HAVE IMPROVEMENTS AS A TEAM”
Frankly, I have a dream. We have to believe every day. We need to believe in each other, in the things we do. As a team, in my opinion, there are points that we have improved day by day and we are still learning new things, fighting, playing together and trying to help each other. We are a dynamic and aggressive team. If you want to be the winning team, you have to believe in each other.
“WE NEED TO CONTINUE OUR CONCENTRATION”
I also find my goal good. We haven’t won anything yet. Every new day is a new beginning and we have to act accordingly. We have a lot of games ahead of us to play. I am very happy with the goal I scored, but that is in the past. Sometimes the goals you score may not be good, but the most important thing there is to win as a team. Individually, I am undoubtedly happy with my goal, but the season is long, we have a lot of games to play; We need to focus and maintain our concentration so that we can reach our goals.
(Our fans) You always make us feel your love, passion and power because we will be successful together with you. You are the 12th man for us. It’s a really great feeling to play against you. I hope that your support and belief will continue, and we can make you happy by giving in return, and we can go together until the end.
