Sivasspor started preparations for the away match against Antalyaspor on Wednesday, January 24, in the 22nd week match of the Trendyol Super League. Coach Bülent Uygun made statements before the training. Uygun, who started his speech by evaluating the Gaziantep FK match in which they drew, said, “We have to manage a process by playing a match almost every 3 days in 2 months, including the Turkish Ziraat Cup, in January and February, when the climatic conditions of our league, especially our country, are the most intense. Injuries are also at an extreme level.” We are going through a period where the transfer period is very short and there is no mid-camp period. These are very difficult conditions for all teams. In fact, the impossibilities experienced by almost all teams tie our hands as coaches in their work. But when we look at it, I congratulate my athlete brothers. Maybe They have never played such back-to-back intense matches in their history. They all deserve to be thanked for the game they played and the fight they showed as long as they could. We wanted to beat Antep. We wanted to score goals by taking advantage of their weaknesses. As a matter of fact, we found it, and then we conceded the goals we did not want and left the match with a draw. Now, we look forward to Antalya. We will go through a period where we will go from -10 to plus 20 degrees against a good team from a football city like this. As you know, it snowed in Sivas. “We are heading towards good days,” he said.
“WE WANT TO GO AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN THE CUP”
Evaluating their matchup with Konyaspor in the last 16 rounds of the Ziraat Turkish Cup, Uygun said, “Konyaspor is going through a bit of a difficult time like us this season. We have the advantage of playing at home. We want to go as far as we can in the cup. We will fight for it. It is a very enjoyable, competitive and beautiful game.” “The match is waiting for us. We will be honored and honored to host the people of Konya. I hope it will be a nice, enjoyable and enjoyable match for football. I hope we will pass the tour and make our fans happy,” he said.
“A LITTLE PATIENCE IN TRANSFER”
In response to the question regarding the transfer efforts, Uygun said, “Now there is such a situation. Making a transfer is not easy. You make an agreement with a football player, you buy the plane ticket. He is just about to get on the plane. The football player sidesteps. He says, ‘I don’t want to come that much. He makes excuses for everything.’ It is a difficult job to make a transfer during the half-time and that is why we carry out the process with alternatives, but when there is an African Cup, there are many football players in the African Cup who have the possibility of coming. Many of the football players offered to us are footballers who want to be sent from their own teams and are not good for them. You can see him. “You will harm your own team by taking positions that are not useful. That’s why we are trying to manage it correctly. A little patience and a little support is needed. But after that, we want to show success in getting at least 6-7 transfers, hopefully all of them, within 1 week or 10 days.” he replied.
TRAINING IN COLD WEATHER
The training held at Governor Lütfullah Bilgin Sivasspor Facilities under the management of Coach Bülent Uygun and his assistants lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes. The training started with running and continued with warm-up and balance exercises. Yiğidolar then practiced passing and played a double-goal match in the last part. The air temperature during the training was measured to be 4 degrees below zero. Sivasspor will go to Antalya after completing the preparations for the Antalyaspor match with the training they will hold tomorrow.
