FTA Antalyaspor, which completed the first stage of the new season’s camp activities in Burdur, started the second stage of the camp activities at the Döşemealtı Atilla Vehbi Konuk Facilities after a 2-day leave. Nuri Şahin, Football Manager, made a statement before the training. Wishing the new season to be beneficial, Şahin stated that they had a successful first stage period in Burdur, and noted that he saw a team reflecting what he wanted against Başakşehir in the friendly match.
Stating that the squad did not fit well, Şahin said, “But both the youngsters and our players who returned from loan last year, all performed well. We got along well with the team and our new coaches, it was a good start. Tomorrow, if God permits, we set off to Erzurum for the second stage. We’re going out,” he said.
“THROUGH TRANSFERS”
Referring to the transfer agenda, Şahin said, “Both transfers we made were the players I wanted. Erdoğan will relieve us in many matters. There will be more transfers. We will have transfers to the centre-back, forward, wing, and fullback positions. We want to make the right transfers. We will not transfer to make transfers. He wants the team to be together in a short time, but the transfer period started a little slower this year, as you can see. Prices are very high. That’s why we are trying to make the right transfers. We are doing a very good job, we have brought some transfers to a certain point. If we take the last steps, they will join us. It is not a big problem that the right transfer is a little late rather than making the wrong transfer. Our fans will understand this, as we do not have the luxury of making mistakes as a club in these financial situations. We want to give our performance in the first week. Unfortunately, the transfer period is in Turkey. Since most of the players in Europe know this, we have a little difficulty because they read ABC and see it as an option, since it is a little longer in .
“I TELL YOU OPEN”
Reminding that the separation of names such as Sinan Gümüş, Ghacha, Floranus, Doğukan Nelik, Milosevic was on the agenda, Şahin said, “We gave our report on all the players we wanted to send. I hope they get along with places that are better for them in this period. Milosevic did not have a very good period in his first term. He is working well now, I think he is a character who deserves a chance. I want to give him a chance. He is doing well so far. , was one of the successful names of the camp. We will play him close to the goal and we will get efficiency. We also spoke openly with Sinan. I said that it would be better for him to leave. The player and the club will decide. Bahadır Öztürk is my favorite player, our defender. He works well. Bahadır I am happy with it.”
“WE WILL BRING YOU A AGAIN”
Asked that the players transferred during the half-time period could not play, Şahin said, “I don’t think any player the coach wanted has been brought in until now. We haven’t brought a player that the coach wanted, either. We brought the young players we recruited as potential players. We see them in training every day, can they contribute to us or not? “Of course, your transfer needs to be 10 out of 10. We will bring in young players again. We need to win young players and sell them. Like Mukairu, Doğukan Sinik. It was difficult to give those players a minute last year. We were in the negative race and could not give them a chance. They also “He wanted to play, but it didn’t happen. They will be successful wherever they go. We can’t say that none of the half-time transfers have worked. Let there be criticism, I’m open to this, but let’s talk about these issues with a little more control,” he said.
“REVIEW OF LAST YEAR”
Evaluating the bad last season, Nuri Şahin said, “There are many reasons for this, but of course, the main responsibility is the coach, of course the team. I was able to make this self-criticism at the end of this season. Because we are in that cycle, sometimes even though I say I see my way ahead. You can’t quite see it. There were many factors. It was the effect of the Qatar World Cup, the earthquake, there were mistakes we made. We gave up on our own game, we turned to save the day. The biggest lesson we can take from last year is to continue the game we believe in. We will not give up on the things that make us who we are. Economic We also had problems. All of them turned out to be a little salty. This was the result. The biggest criticism will be to me here. I hope this season will be much better. I can say our goal to get the squad fully formed. The goal I will explain now is to win every match. Those who leave are together with those who come. “I need to see a squad. We lost points even from the ground last year, we lost players,” he said.
“PREVIEW TO YOUNG PLAYERS”
Referring to the performance of young football players, Şahin said, “I want to benefit from young players. I played in the Bundesliga at the age of 16. Thanks to my 17-year-old Fatih Terim teacher, he gave me a chance in the national team. But I got the jersey somehow, so no one told me, you are very handsome, you are a very beautiful person. He didn’t give the jersey because you’re a kid. There are good players in our infrastructure, too. Maybe one of the best players of this camp period; I don’t know how right or wrong, but Ege Bilsel was. Harun Toprak surprised me. Emre Uzun, it’s going well, I’m Mustafa Erdilman “I’m a net player. I can bring you to a place, we got the jersey, no one gave it to us. The jersey is in the lion’s mouth, the player will know how to get it,” he said.
“My DREAM IS TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE”
“What is your goal as a Technical Director, when will you reach your goals?” To the question, “I want to win a team in the Champions League, not play the final. This is my dream. I watched the final in Istanbul and I was very proud to see Ilkay there. It made me happy to see my dream goal alive once again. I am very happy in Antalyaspor, my goals are We have a goal to bring Antalyaspor to good places. It is there to be in unity, I hope it will happen if God permits, I hope I do my best. I never have to do that, I have to do this at this time, not at this time, I am at Antalyaspor right now. “I am very happy, I hope God allows, I want to take good steps. But this is my first goal. I want to leave in a good way and continue my way as a teacher,” he said.
“WE ARE PROUD OF ARDA GULER”
Answering a question about Arda Güler’s transfer to Real Madrid, Şahin said, “We are not the people who will give advice to Arda. I watched Arda’s press conference, promotion, first training, he is a great boy. May God guide us, he makes us proud. “It will continue to make us proud, I’m sure it will hold on there. The most beautiful club in the world. God has given us a gift. Not everyone is lucky enough to wear that jersey, even if only a little. It is the biggest club in the world. It is one of the most beautiful jerseys in the world. Arda is a great talent, a very He is a great football player, may God guide his way. We are proud of him and we will always continue to be proud of him.”
“OFFENSIVE ANTALYASPOR”
Nuri Şahin, talking about the game arrangements this year, said, “We have a game format in mind, we have a game style, there are games that I can play with some players and games that we cannot play with some players. We are trying to shape our staff accordingly. Let’s say we do our training accordingly. It is not a change in the game format, but a little bit more to return to ourselves. We also want to return to our essence. Thanks to my new team, their energy is very high, they contribute a lot to me. We want to play a game befitting Antalyaspor, in a way that suits us. We want to play offensive. With the first match of the season, we want to play a game that suits you and our fans in particular. We want to put on a play,” he said.
