Trabzonspor came to Switzerland before the UEFA Conference League play-off round second leg match. Before the difficult match, coach Abdullah Avcı and one of the players Vitor Hugo are holding a press conference in the burgundy blues.
Hunter’s words
Abdullah Avcı: Earthquakes destroyed us all. Although our bodies are in Switzerland, our hearts are in the earthquake zone. Concentration is very difficult in these conditions. Wherever we are, it is our duty to work to heal those wounds.
“The result we will get against Basel tomorrow will be extremely healthy for both us and our country. As a community, we are ready to do the best. I hope we will get it in return. It was extremely important for us and the country that all the teams, all the fans supported us in the first match, like the national match. I hope it stays that way.”
A TEAM PLAYING IN EUROPE FOR 20 YEARS
Talking about Basel’s European experience, Avcı said, “We played a match last week. The first half is over. We have an advantage, albeit small. We could have won differently. We have a young and dynamic opponent. A team that has been playing in Europe for 20 years. A strong opponent in terms of defense. “The beginning of the game is extremely important. The result we get without putting the opponent into the game and without losing our concentration will be good for both the country and us.” said.
“There was also a bit of emotion at the beginning of the game. We were 10 minutes late. We dominated the game with the moves made afterward. We will not make much of a change.”
HAMSIK EARTH STAR
Talking about the Slovak star player Hunter, Marek Hamsik is a world star. Trabzonspor’s most important player. A very important character. As of now, he is the football player of this place for 3 more months. People don’t give up on something they love so much. “Our relationship with Marek will continue.”
Victor Huco: The match we played last week was a difficult match to play emotionally. We knew the existence of those affected by the earthquake, we played to make them happy and it wasn’t easy, but I think we got a good result.”
“We saw even the opposing team support us in our stadium. To my surprise, it was impressive to see the whole team support us. We hope to make a good start. I think we can get a good result by dominating the match as we did in the first game.”
