Hüseyin Çimşir, one of the unforgettable names and former coaches of Trabzonspor, made important statements.
Here are those words…
“MY PRIORITY IS WORKING A TEAM IN THE SUPER LEAGUE”
Frankly, I don’t have a plan for now. Teams are full. There were no very satisfactory projects. Of course, we do not sit idle when we are not on duty. We are developing our player portfolio. Let’s say we do not work in a single field. I also go abroad from time to time. I’m watching the players. My first choice is to work in Spor Toto Super League. It should be a team with a project and a goal. Of course, there does not appear to be a healthy football environment in the country at the moment. There are spending limits, debts and various uncertainties. I hope this gets better… We are always ready to contribute to football.
“TRABZONSPOR WAS THE CHAMPION DUE TO ITS BRACE”
I was in Trabzon on the championship day. We celebrated at home. We haven’t been champions for many years. In this respect, it is a very valuable championship. It was nice to win the league with such a serious point difference. The atmosphere was very nice on the day of the celebrations. I think it’s a championship we deservedly won. Trabzonspor did a good job and tasted the championship with the right of his wrist.
” ABDULLAH AVCI TEACHED TRABZON TO PATIENCE”
Abdullah Avci went into the history of Trabzonspor. They did very good work. With the right planning, they became the champions by a team with alternatives. They played the right game. One of the important coaches of the league is Abdullah Avcı. I think it has caught the right fit with the city. Trabzon is a difficult city. But Avcı gained that confidence in the eyes of the fans as well. He taught patience to Trabzonspor fans. They did the best that this squad could do and they deserved it.
IS SUCCESS POSSIBLE IN EUROPE?
There was a Trabzonspor squad that was structured for 3-4 years. They keep putting it on. Right now they have lost an important name like Nwakaeme. But I think they have alternatives. They also started to make important transfers. There were areas that were missing last year as well. They are building a potential squad to be successful in both the league and the Champions League. I’m observing this. There is no team that goes from the Super League to the Champions League without qualifying, but the opponent will also be important. I hope Trabzonspor will be successful in Europe. I want all our teams to be successful.
“TRABZONSPOR WILL START THE SEASON READY TO EVERYONE”
Eren and Doğucan are young players with high potential. Larsen is also an experienced player. Denswil knows the team and the city. They went with it. I think they will do 2-3 more transfers. They blend young and experienced players. Trabzonspor will fight with such a squad. They will take this change with the right planning. They make transfers before the season starts. This is an advantage. They will work in the camp with the new transfers. They will understand the system the coach wants and they will start the season ready. Maybe they’ll start ready for everyone else.
“WHY TAKE FOREIGN TEAMS WITH UĞURCAN AND ALTAY?”
I am against limitation. Playing someone out of necessity is also a very bad thing. You have difficulty in finding Turkish players to play in 11. Sometimes you have to play undeserving players. Will Trabzonspor get a foreign goalkeeper while Uğurcan is present? Will Fenerbahce get a foreign goalkeeper while Altay is present? It doesn’t. The technical guys are doing the calculations. I think the alien rule should be liberal. Let them give the right to 10 foreigners, not 14. If you want, use it. Let’s make a plan. Sign 14 players, 8 to play. What about the rest? There is no proper planning. Turkish players should be exported. There have been players who have made serious money before. We also remember the departure of players such as Cenk and Okay. Good football is played with good players. If you have a good player, you already use it. Competition reveals quality. Abdülkadir and Yusuf, for example, developed more because they played with quality players in Trabzonspor. There is Kerem in Galatasaray, for example; He played with both Turkish and foreign players and improved himself. Our priority is to bring quality players. I am for freedom. TFF should plan this well.
“LET’S GO TO EUROPE, LET’S NOT RETURN”
If the players want to go to Europe, the clubs should not block it. Any player can be sold if he’s worth it. Turkish or foreign, it doesn’t matter. Of course, if the player wants here! Let’s open parenthesis here. When the player wants to go, you can’t get a better transfer opportunity when you hold on forcefully. There is an example of City for Life. It was not sold at that time. Mr. President Ahmet Ağaoğlu also said. The football player who has value and is rewarded should be sold. But a worthwhile offer must come. Ömür and Çakır have European goals. Once they get there, they have to stay. It will grow, develop and sell football teams. We need to add players with recycling to our squads. It is necessary not to bring players who are 35 years old and who cannot come back to Turkey anymore.
THOUGHTS FOR ARDA GULER AND EMIRHAN ILKHAN…
Arda Güler shone in Fenerbahçe. For example, I watched Emirhan in the Rize-Beşiktaş match. He got a passing grade from me. It felt like he was going to do well. Hopefully it continues unabated. Coaches need to give more opportunities to players like Arda Güler. The technical guys use the players less with the trouble of the competition. This is because of the fear of losing! Then you prefer the more experienced. Arda, Emirhan, Kerem, Doğukan Sinik from Antalya… All teams have high potential players. We play out of necessity, they come somewhere. Then they go back. Playing the young actor is a matter of patience. You need some patience. We have problems with patience in Turkish football. And seriously. Some players played out of necessity in Trabzonspor for a while. The players made the market. Better players were sought and their development stopped. While playing the players, the fans should show patience to the coaches and management.
JESUS OR ISMAEL’S MORE CREDITS?
I think Fenerbahce’s new coach Jesus has more credits than Beşiktaş coach Valerien Ismael. When things go bad in Fenerbahçe, there will be criticism. Ali Koç used his right in favor of Jesus. He appointed a more career technical man than İsmail Kartal. It was more rewarding to the fans, so I think he made such a decision. How much patience will Jesus be shown? This is important. They haven’t been champions for years. This is a distressing situation for the Fenerbahçe community. The start of the season is important. Their fans have expectations and support. How will they start the league? They can also experience serious disappointment in a surge.
