In the 28th week of Trendyol Super League, Corendon Alanyaspor defeated Trabzonspor 3-1 on its home field. Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Alanyaspor Coach Fatih Tekke stated that they started to find opportunities in the match after changing the game format.
“HOSPER ABDULLAH IS A VERY ELEGANT AND KIND PERSON. BEFORE THE MATCH, HE EXHIBITED AN BEHAVIOR THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET”
Stating that they won against a team that was very well organized, Fatih Tekke said that Abdullah Avcı treated him very graciously before the match and thanked him. Tekke said, “We tried to evaluate almost every detail while analyzing Trabzonspor before the match. Our pressure was different, especially in the first part of the game. But I cannot say that it was very good. The goal we scored was a good thing for us. The second goal returned to us in a way that could not be seen on the field. Until the moment we changed pressure Frankly, the opponent found opportunities. The game was going in favor of Trabzonspor. But when we started to make our 3-4-3 pressure, we started to find opportunities. It was very good. We had been working on this since the week. I said we had to take risks if we wanted to win. We needed points and points very much. We won with 3 goals against a very well organized team by taking a great risk and with the good performance of my players. This was very valuable for us. I congratulate all the players in my team. Abdullah Hodja is a very elegant and kind person. He showed an unforgettable behavior before the match. Here’s to him. Thank you. He is already one of the coaches I like the most in Turkey. We are fighting to stay in the league. Every match, every point is valuable to us. “I am happy that we got 3 points today,” he said.
When asked by a press member about Enis Destan’s style being similar to his own, Fatih Tekke said, “As far as I can see from afar, Enis Destan is a player who gives everything he has. His path seems clear. He has shortcomings, just like everyone else. He takes steps to become better as he plays.” “I wish him success too,” he said.
“THIS YEAR ALANYASPOR MUST STAY IN THE LEAGUE”
Regarding being from Trabzon, Fatih Tekke said the following:
“I am from Trabzon, it is like that everywhere. I am a person who admires the city of Trabzon. I am a person who loves the city of Trabzon very much. My bond with people from Trabzon is in a different way. I don’t think this is just about my performance. It is not about statements either. I know that city, The city also knows me. Such a bond has been formed. That’s why I suffered too. They were also very patient. Therefore, there will be no questions in my mind about that city. But such is life. Today, I am in a position where I work hard for Alanyaspor, as in every team. I love what I do. I also think we are doing the right things. Even though people don’t want to see it. Since I came here, our priority has been to stay in the league until the last second. Alanya is a district team, but it is a community that can give very good things. We have to get through this year. This year is Alanyaspor. We need to stay in the league. If God allows, good things will happen. But our current situation is not a bed of roses. We are experiencing that difficulty, we will experience it. “This is my full concentration, along with my entire team.”
“WE ARE TRYING TO USE THE MATERIALS WE HAVE IN THE MOST CORRECT WAY”
In response to a question about the individual performance of the players, Fatih Tekke said, “None of my players owe me anything. All of these players deserve it. Because they train well, we have to do it. We do not like spontaneous play as my style of training. We have been trying to do this for years. The strength of the player in the game.” It is not possible to increase the number of players in a short time. You will agree with me on this. I am a technical man who joined the team later. We try to use the materials we have in the most appropriate way. Sometimes we make changes, we are human and we make mistakes. My first parameter is who can do this well. We do not play with robots, We are playing with people. It is important that they respond to this. It is important that they make an effort for this. There are players who got tired and sweated for Alanyaspor on the field. We saw this clearly. These are very important parameters to continue the fight. We are not 100 percent like this, we only won 3 points. We are playing every match. “We will continue very carefully. I thank my players,” he said.
