National football player Çağlar Söyüncü, who plays for Fenerbahçe, made a statement at the press conference.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM ÇAĞLAR’S STATEMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Our goal is to win the championship. We are doing our best as a community for this. We are in good shape as a team. Before coming, my close friends said that it was a good environment. So I came and saw. Our goal is the championship. We are doing our best to fight together with our fans.
“MY TRANSFER PROCESS TOOK 3 WEEKS”
My transfer process took about three weeks. One day they say ‘It’s over’, the next day the talks continue. Mentally, the process was tiring. We also showed respect. We have reached a happy ending, we are happy. I’m happy to be here.
“THERE ARE 6 PLAYERS AT STOP ALONG WITH ME”
I came in a sitting position, which makes my job difficult. Everyone is doing their best. There are 6 players including me at centre-back. Brother Serdar Aziz played in our league and the National Team for years. There is Leonardo Bonucci. Our coach will decide who will play. I respect his decisions.
I have some shortcomings, I haven’t played much since the beginning of the year. I’m getting better by playing. Our first goal is to perform well for 6 months and bring the championship to Fenerbahçe, which has not been the champion for a long time. This is the first goal, we will see what happens after that. There is professionalism involved, and the work comes from us. The only thing we talk about now is the championship.
“IT IS MY FIRST TIME PLAYING IN THE SUPER LEAGUE”
I am 28 years old, I am playing in the Super League for the first time. I came to a big community, I have many responsibilities. Both on the field and private life. I thought my adaptation process would take longer even though I was Turkish. Because I came to an established team. Thanks to my teachers and friends, we bonded together in a short time. There are good players, it is not an easy league as it seems from the outside.
“6 MONTH PERIOD IS VERY IMPORTANT”
We gain financially. I want to get justice for the money I earned. This is my goal at Fenerbahçe. I have a contract with Atletico Madrid. The 6-month period is very important. If we reach a happy ending, I think my situation will become clear in the future.
“A GOOD TOURNAMENT IS WAITING FOR US IN EURO 2024”
There will always be competition. This will improve us. The one who gives the best performance will play. Friendship is very high, a good tournament awaits us at EURO 2024. I think it will go well. İsmail Hodja gives me a chance as a right defender, and I do my best.
