Trabzonspor defeated the French team Monaco 4-0 in UEFA Europa League Group H. Tabzonspor Coach Abdullah Avcı and Monaco Coach Philippe Clement made statements after the match. Trabzonspor Technical Director Abdullah Avci said, “All I want is for Trabzonspor to continue in Europe. The race is head-to-head right now. If you say this is the moment of breaking or the state of action, we can use both. We have increased the gear at the yellow light.”
Evaluating the match that provided a significant advantage in the group, Abdullah Avcı said that their rival Monaco is one of the best teams in Europe and said, “Our opponent showed us these difficulties at the beginning of the game at the beginning of the game. Then we stepped in. We had a little more possession of the ball. It was a very action game; the physics of the opponent was high. After the golden, it was a little more balanced,” he said.
“HÜSEYİN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCILLES TENDON”
Explaining that Hüseyin Türkmen, who has been away from the field for a long time and played for the first time this evening, was removed from the game because he had a problem with his Achilles tendon, Avcı said, “We made a substitution in the second half out of necessity. Hüseyin was injured for a long time, it was Larsen’s 16th game with us and he was at risk of injury. It was very high. Larsen said for the first time, ‘I’m very tired’. Hussein had not played for a long time, so we took it out. He had a problem with his Achilles tendon. We started to have more possession in the game with Vitor’s and then a free kick. “For this part of the game, I would like to thank my players for their historic win against one of the best teams in the European league,” he said.
“EREN’S INJURY RISK IS HIGH”
Stating that the players are tired and at risk of injury due to the matches played in a row, Avcı said: “Eren is playing his 20th game, this includes the national team. Eren plays constantly and the risk of injury is high. One of the players, Gbamin came out of injury, Marc is the same. We are coming out of this process healthy. This is Trabzon fans. Trabzonspor fans set the bar very high, we cannot go down from here. I wish success to the opponent. We need to get into the recovery process quickly tomorrow. Time is very tight. There is a league match on Sunday, then we will have time to breathe. Rotation I didn’t. Larsen’s measurements for the first time turned out to be 16 percent in danger. We use science. Trezeguet didn’t train for one day, so we could use it for 30 minutes. Today’s situation was not rotation.”
“WE UP GEAR AT THE YELLOW LIGHT”
Asked whether the different victory against Monaco was the breaking moment, Avcı replied, “If you say whether this match is a breaking moment or a state of action, we can use both. We have increased the gear in the yellow light.”
“WE ARE ALREADY MADE WITH THE FANS”
Asked about the letter he shared with the fans on his social media account before the match, Avcı said, “He who lives with his past cannot organize his future. My letter was a situation in which I expressed my feelings and thoughts. I don’t know what people did, what their feedback is. According to the reflection of the society, we will see our pros and cons. We weren’t.
“RACE HEAD TO HEAD”
Expressing that they want to leave the group very much, Avcı said, “All I want is for Trabzonspor to continue in Europe. One of my top priorities is to get out of the group. The race is now head-to-head. We will open the Beşiktaş file tomorrow morning. Beşiktaş is one of the best teams in the league and “The physics quality is high. We came by winning, I hope we will win again. I hope it will be a match in accordance with the spirit of Fair-Play and we will get what we want. I don’t know if you say you would win 4-0 today,” he said.
Talking about the victories of all the teams competing in the UEFA Europa League and Conference League, Avcı said, “Being able to be in this market in Europe and being able to compete will contribute to the country’s football, good communication will be good. I hope all our teams continue in Europe, I congratulate them all” made a statement.
