The 45-year-old coach, who attended the Football Summit held at Okan University, answered the questions of the press members.
Stating that it was a difficult season in the Trendyol Super League, where they entered the last 2 weeks in 13th place with 32 points, Belözoğlu said, “It is a process that you need to plan well and play by planning correctly. We have an advantage. It is important to motivate our players in the last 2 weeks and get as many points as possible. We have a little more advantage than other teams. I think we have the power to maintain this. It has been a different season. It is enjoyable for the audience, but it can be difficult for the players and coaches. I hope it will end well. I believe it was a difficult process. I hope we will have a happy ending with good experiences.” he said.
Stating that they will have a very difficult match against Gençlerbirliği in the 33rd week of the league, Emre Belözoğlu said, “We have a good team. We are 4 points ahead of Gençlerbirliği. They must win. I do not think any match will be easy. Galatasaray, which we will face in the last week, will be planned and win-oriented against us, even if they are champions. In the other scenario, we will try to do everything we need to do.” he said.
“WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE STRESSES IN THE NAME OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP”
Emre Belözoğlu, who struggled to stay in the relegation with the teams he worked for in the last 3 seasons, emphasized that he gained experience and hoped to experience the stress of championship in the future.
Reminding that they were relegated with Antalyaspor last season, Belözoğlu said, “Before that, we had a bitter experience with MKE Ankaragücü. We have experience. We wish we could experience stress for the sake of the championship. This is more difficult. The responsibility is high. Everything is not in your hands. When you are a football player, sometimes you have the key on the field and you can open the lock. It is much easier to be a player. It is more difficult to be a coach. I am aware of this. We are doing our best. I hope one day they will be able to win the Championship. “I hope we will experience stress.” He commented:
“WE HAVE A VERY TALENTED AND GOOD NATIONAL TEAM”
Emre Belözoğlu noted that the National Team has a very talented staff and a good coach.
Calling for the national players to be taken care of and supported, the 45-year-old coach said, “We have a very talented and good national team. We have a good coach. The relationship between good coaches and players is important in national teams. We have been through these periods too. We need to take care of and support them. Sometimes the environment can be slippery. We can criticize them in a way they do not deserve. They should be seen as players who will represent us under the Turkish flag. I hope it will be a good World Cup that suits our country. A national team that will make our people happy in the summer.” We watch.” made his assessment.
“POSITIONS IN THE LEAGUE ARE DETERMINED BY PLAYER QUALITY”
Emre Belözoğlu, who shared his views on the joy of championship of Turkish coaches in the Super League for many years, said:
“It is important to know the dynamics, order and system of the country. Turkish coaches are also skilled and qualified to do this job. Unfortunately, in our country, we are very cruel to our own children. There are also successful examples of valuable coaches coming from abroad. Teams with much better players and stronger in certain positions can be much more ahead. The coach is a part here. I do not think it is right to present it as if he is everything. In my opinion, the impact of a coach on the team reaches 25 percent at most. Player quality determines their position in the league. “determines.”
