Emphasizing that teams can have bad periods in football, Gueye said, “Sometimes football is like that. We played well in some matches, but we were unlucky. Generally, we are a good team. At times, we were not a full squad. We had significant injuries, but I am sure we will be much better in the second half. I also had some injuries, I was not in great shape, but I did my best and will continue to do so.” he said.
Explaining that they started the season with Shota Arveladze, the Senegalese player said, “We worked with coach Shota. He was a good person personally and football-wise, but this is football.

Emphasizing that there are very good forwards in the Super League, Gueye said, “Sometimes you can catch good moments personally in football.

If you are good, you can play anywhere. I am currently in Türkiye, it is a very beautiful country and a very high-quality league. I will do my best in the future.” he said.
Emphasizing that he had a good time in the northern country when he played in the Norwegian 1st Football League (Eliteserien), Pape Habib Gueye said, “The only problem was that the weather was cold.
