“I’M TROUBLE IN FORMING A STAFF”
Sivasspor Coach Rıza Çalımbay said in a statement to the AA correspondent that he had great difficulties in establishing a squad due to the high number of injured players.
Stating that they have problems especially in the forward line, Çalımbay said, “I have a lot of trouble in establishing a squad, we have a lot of trouble in the forward. It is not possible for Leke James to play for at least 6-7 weeks. Kader Keita’s hand is broken, Robin Yalçın and Ziya Erdal are torn. “There is Erdogan Yesilyurt, maybe he can get better. We have quite a few injured friends and therefore we are in trouble. This is not an excuse. If you want to go to the European cups and the league, you will endure these troubles.” he said.
Stressing that they need the fans a lot during the difficult period, Çalimbay said, “The fans need to integrate with the team and take care of their team. Everyone needs to take care of Sivasspor. We all need to take responsibility so that we can get out of this situation as soon as possible. In my opinion, there is nothing in the situation. We will fix it.” “We’ve been through this a lot. Because people panicked, all we can do is stick together.” used the phrases.
