In his speech at the first training session of the season, Kayserispor Coach Çağdaş Atan said, “I said, ‘If we can train most of the new players and enter the camp, we can repeat the success of last year’. But unfortunately this did not happen. I have never sold dreams and hopes to Kayserispor fans, the city of Kayseri.”
Kayserispor started the preparations for the 2023-2024 season with the training conducted under the management of coach Çağdaş Atan today. Making a statement before the training, Kayserispor Technical Director Çağdaş Atan said, “We have a difficult process ahead of us, you have plans. We wrote a good story last year. We need to write new stories. We are ready for this as a team. Kayserispor should always be on the scoreboard in the first half of the last season in our eyes. “This business has three pillars. One team, the management and the players. Our management promised us that new players will join us. I think they will keep their promise. We plan to add good players as soon as possible. Because we are far behind last year’s squad at the moment. ” “And I can say that we are too late. I said, ‘If we can train most of the new players and enter the camp, we can repeat the success of last year.’ But unfortunately this did not happen. We are waiting for that day. We have hope. I have never given Kayserispor fans dreams and hopes to the city of Kayseri.” I didn’t sell it. I have no intention of doing anything like that. I didn’t want to lose them. We want to have a good, successful, good season once again. But as I said, we have expectations. Towards the end of the season, I had explanations. I stand behind all of these statements. “I’m behind you now,” he said.
“OUR STAFF NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED URGENTLY”
Reminding that there are no new players joining their ranks at the moment, Çağdaş Atan said, “On the contrary, there are players we lost. This is a process, we have to wait. We need to give this time to our management, but we need to know that the time has narrowed. “We need to take advantage of the situation with the players we work with and know us. We think that we can adapt the new players very quickly. I think we need at least 6 players right now. At the beginning of last year, everyone was drawing negative pictures for Kayserispor, for the squad we have. Now we have that squad.” If I counted correctly, there are not 10 players. There are currently 10 players in that unpopular squad. That’s why our squad needs to be strengthened urgently. We had very clear talks with the 2-3 players we identified in our list. But unfortunately, due to the situation we are in, we could not get a result. We are losing the players on that list. “My fear is to be too late.”
“WE DON’T MEAN TO STOP HERE AFTER THINGS HAVE GOED BACK”
Indicating that they will spend both pre-season camp periods in Kayseri, Çağdaş Atan said, “I told my players that as well. I am very happy to work with them. I think we will have a good season if our expectations are met again. I already said that when I thought we would not spend it. I am not in a position to sell dreams here. “If there is a group that will make Kayserispor successful, I am here, or if there is a sustainable Kayserispor, I am here. There is no point in stopping here after things get out of hand. We plan to make the first stage here and play one match on July 19,” he concluded.
DIMITRIOS KOLOVETSIOS: WE WANT TO COMPLETE THE LEAGUE ON A GOOD LEVEL
Evaluating the new season, Dimitrios Kolovetsios said, “We are very happy that the new season has started. There was a vacation period of one and a half months. We worked within the schedule given to us by our teachers. Now the new season is starting and we are very happy. We had a good season last year. This year, too, we left off. We want to continue and complete the league at a good level in line with the same goals,” he said.
