Kocaelispor Coach Selçuk İnan, in his statement before the Başakşehir match, answered the question of whether he would continue in Kocaelispor and said, “We have not had a clear meeting yet, but my goals and dreams are to participate in the European cups with Kocaelispor here.”
Preparations are continuing for Kocaelispor, which will host Başakşehir at Kocaeli Stadium in the 28th week of Trendyol Super League. Gulf team coach Selçuk İnan made evaluations before training.
THE TEAM HAS A VERY STRONG SQUAD, WE ARE AWARE OF THIS
Stating that they will have an advantage in front of the audience in the Başakşehir match, Selçuk İnan said, “It has been a long break. Of course, the holiday was not a sweet one for us, but it was a bit of a sad holiday because of the defeat we received. However, this is our life. It continues like this. When we win, it is always a holiday, and when we lose, it is always troublesome. But that process is behind us. There are such defeats, such moments. We must learn to leave this behind, with the lessons we will learn. The Başakşehir match will be a very important match for us. We will return again after a long time.” “We will be in an advantageous position on our field, I think. We are aware of this. They have a very strong squad. However, we also have a game that we play in the home field, we have a game power. When you look at it like this, it will be a very tough fight, but hopefully we will be the winning side.”
I WANT TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING ESPECIALLY WITH KOCAELİSPOR
İnan, emphasizing that he is very happy and proud to be in Kocaelispor, said, “I have always talked about the greatness of the community and the greatness of the fans in almost all my interviews since the beginning of the season. I never said these for the sake of words. Because it is true that the community here, the fans, showed this to me and even though we came to Turkish football after 16 years, I am very happy and honored to work here. I want to achieve success here with this team, no matter what the circumstances. I always have dreams, I have goals. Even when I am told that I am too aggressive, I want to win matches, I want to play for the top, and I want to achieve something, especially with Kocaelispor. Regardless of the reasons, I have difficulties, I get aggressive, I get grumpy. We have come to this point through a very difficult period. We had many problems from the beginning of the season, I tried not to share them with you. “For us, we are in this situation at this time in the league. That’s why I am proud of myself, my team and my players. We have achieved important things. I think we have done this as much as we can so far. God willing, we will continue this year,” he said.
MY DREAM IS HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EUROPEAN CUP WITH KOCAELİSPOR
Answering the question of whether he will continue in Kocaelispor or not, Selçuk İnan said, “We have not had a clear meeting yet. My goals and dreams are here, to be able to participate in the European cups with Kocaelispor, to become an important team… When you consider all of these, as I said, it is a long process. It is a moment that requires a process. I touched on the difficulties. We will have goals if we continue here. I will work hard for them, I will make a lot of effort. No one should doubt this. Maybe we will change and renew our facilities. In other words, we will change and renew our facilities. “We need to address all the problems we have. We are fighting for these, hopefully we will achieve them,” he said.
7 OF OUR PLAYERS ARE IN THE NATIONAL TEAM, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT EVENT FOR US
Talking about the injuries in the team, Selçuk İnan said, “Petkovic started individual training. There will be a final evaluation with us on Monday or Tuesday next week. We anticipate that if he has no problems, he can train with us on Wednesday. Hopefully, let’s see. Hadara is the same way, he also has a problem in his groin. He is currently receiving treatment. We expect him to start training with us next week, but it is still a process. Apart from that, you already know Jovanovi. Apart from that, we do not have any injuries for the moment. “We have players. Speaking of which, let me wish them success. 7 of our players joined the national team, this is an important event for us, so I congratulate them as well.”
