Nenad Bjelica, the coach of Trabzonspor, who beat Beşiktaş 3-0 at home in the 5th week of the Trendyol Super League, said that they got a well-deserved victory against their opponents and dominated the match for 90 minutes.
In the press conference held after the match, Bjelica stated that it was a match they deservedly won and said, “We were the team that dominated the match for the entire 90 minutes. Maybe the team was a little worried in the first 20 minutes, considering the importance of the match and the fact that the stadium was completely full. But then we won with the game.” “I am very happy for the fans, the club and the club employees. I think we achieved a great victory together with them.” he said.
Answering a question about whether the league had just started for them, the Croatian coach said, “We added talented players in the transfer. We increased the competition within the team. We had a match squad of 21 people. We had to leave 5 players out. The other 3 players were injured. It shows that we have a large, good squad.” “It is a beneficial situation for the team. As all teammates, we worked hard throughout the camp. They are a very good example of working, they made sacrifices, now it is time to reap the fruits of this.” he said.
Bjelica said the following when asked about when injured players will return to the team:
“Abdülkadir Ömür felt pain in his groin, we did not continue the game in the second half. onuachu felt pain in his wrist and wanted to continue. When the pain increased, we saw that he could not continue and we took him out of the game. Pepe did not have the opportunity to do team training. He was injured in a significant part of the last season. He had some time to prepare. “He will need it. We will try to have him join us as soon as possible. Hüseyin will have a recovery period of 5 weeks. Fernandez will participate in training with the team during the next international break. We think Orsic will also join the team in February.”
Noting that they were playing against a big rival like Beşiktaş, Bjelica said, “It is normal to feel pain. Today we saw a very motivated, aggressive team trying to do its best. We think that when we continue this game, we will play to win every match without knowing the opponent. Not because we scored 3 goals, but because we won against the strong team.” “We are happy for you. You win by suffering and sacrificing. You cannot win without suffering in all the competitions you play.” he said.
