Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan spoke about the championship race in the Trendyol Super League, squad planning and transfer efforts.
Here are Ertuğrul Doğan’s statements:
As Trabzonspor fans, we all have only one thing on our minds: to be at the top and to be successful. But besides all this, to reveal the stance of Trabzonspor fans in every environment. Believe me, we represented our city wherever we could. We said whatever needed to be said for the interests of Trabzonspor and stood behind it.
“I THANK FATIH TEKKE AND HIS TEAM”
This season, with the arrival of Fatih Tekke, we started to walk a different path with a new structure. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Fatih Tekke and his team. I think we will see much more successful days. We all know what is in our hearts and minds. There is only one thing on everyone’s mind: Trabzonspor’s success and becoming a champion. We push all the conditions to the fullest. Our competitors’ budgets are now 10 times ours. We are ready to fight this war. This year, too, there will be a war between labor and money.
“TRABZONSPOR ALWAYS PLAYS TO THE TOP”
I trust our technical staff and team. Even though most of them are young, they are character actors. We did not force anyone here. This is one of the most important secrets of this business and one of the reasons for this success. My only request from you as a brother is to be with our team. Trabzonspor has entered a certain path. Let’s support our team no matter what the results are. Presidents come and go, as long as this feeling continues, Trabzonspor will always be at the top.
“WE WON’T RUIN THAT WORK WITHOUT A PLAN B”
Fatih coach and his team spend 90 percent of their time in the facilities. They work hard. We have received certain information regarding the transfer. Once it becomes clear, the board of directors will do what is necessary. We do not have any thoughts of disrupting the current team. A different situation happens, a big offer comes… We have a very large player pool. Therefore, our fans should not think like the old days. We won’t mess up that job without a plan B.
İRFAN CAN KAHVECİ’S RESPONSE
Answering the questions about whether the claret-blue team had any interest in İrfan Can Kahveci, Doğan answered “No”.
MUÇİ’S BONUSE
Speaking about Ernest Muçi, who joined Beşiktaş on loan, Doğan said, “I’ve said it before. He was a player that our monitoring team identified but we could not sign due to costs. We added the player to the squad on loan. If they say we should hire a technical staff at the end of the season, we will. If they say it is necessary for us, we will.” he said. Regarding Edin Visca, who will be away from the field for a long time due to his injury, Ertuğrul Doğan said, “Visca is a very important player, a player we love. We are very sorry for his injury. He will be out until the end of the season. We will freeze his contract. We will include whoever our coach tells us to replace him.”
