Before the training, coach Ömer Erdoğan answered the questions of the press members. Stating that they will fight against a difficult opponent, coach Ömer Erdoğan said, “One of the best teams in the league with the football they played this year, they had a good start with Erol. We aim to continue until the end and come back from there with a good result,” he said.
“I ALWAYS LIKE TO BE REALISTIC”
Responding to the criticisms made regarding his goal of finishing the season in the top 10, Erdoğan said: “We could not maintain the squad last year. If we had kept the squad last year, maybe our goal would have been different, but we created a new team from scratch this year and so far, it’s fine for me. We are having a successful season. I will not name the team, but if we compare ourselves with the teams that spend three, four, five times more money and struggle to stay in the league, we are in a very successful situation. This will be the same for next year. If we can protect 80 percent of it and reinforce the missing areas, we will set a different goal in our statements for the next season, but apart from that, a very realistic target was said and shared by both the management and me at the beginning of the season. But I say that if we have such an opportunity in the next period. , play good matches, collect as many points as we can during the season If he finishes in a better place, of course, we want to push this chance to the end, but I say that we are within our goals right now. I do not know who is not satisfied with this situation, but I am very satisfied as a teacher, our management also says that he is satisfied in his statements. Of course, the expectations of the fans may be different, but I always like to be realistic. Because; I will be responsible for selling a different dream to people here, putting them in a different expectation and not realizing it, but this is the reality and I am very happy with where we are now and with our situation,” he said.
