MAGOMEDALIEV: THERE IS NO GOALKEEPER THAT I IDOL
Stating that last week was very special for him, Magomedaliev said, “Because I met with our fans for the first time. I was watching them before. I am very happy to be a part of Adana Demirspor. I came with the awareness that there is competition in my position. Last year, Ertaç was very good throughout the season. He showed a good performance. Our other goalkeepers are also very good. What I need to do is to work hard. The adaptation process is easy for me. Because Azerbaijani and Turkish people are very similar. I had no problems coming here. It was very easy to make a decision. The league is also very close. “I was following him. There is no goalkeeper that I see as an idol. Muslera has been playing at the top level for a very long time. My friend Sehic is also very good. I am not afraid of strikers. I like to fight against big players like Aboubakar and Icardi,” he said.
YUSUF ERDOĞAN: WE ARE NO LONGER BEING AN ANATOLIAN TEAM
Stating that they will play matches that could be the beginning of a good series, Yusuf Erdoğan said that they want to overcome an important turning point without any losses. Emphasizing that it will be a good match as he will play against his former team on Sunday, Erdoğan stated that, as a team, they aim to achieve big goals by building on last year’s performance. Pointing out that the team’s staff is of very high quality, Erdoğan said, “Our squad quality is at a high level. We have ceased to be an Anatolian team. We have a squad that is equal to the Big 4 and even higher than some of them. Our goal is not to play in the middle ranks. It is time to write another story.”
‘OUR TEACHER HAD A NICE TOUCH ON ME’
Answering the question about his rising performance, Erdoğan said, “Football is played with good football players. There may be ups and downs from time to time. The reason for my exit is that we have a very good team. When I enter the field, I play with my teammates who know football very well. My performance increases with their influence. I always aim for the goals.” , I am a football player with a story. I could have stayed in Trabzonspor for a very long time, playing one match and not playing 5 matches. But I am a person who has always adopted the idea of telling my own stories and achievements to my children and friends. Last year, there was a team that was doing well. Our coach did not feel the need to use me. I didn’t stop working and thanks to our new coach, he had a very nice touch on me. His motivation off the field brought back my desire to write good stories. Football is really a mental game. Tactics and physics are important, but a smile and a touch when going to the match really increases what the football player will give in that match. “It multiplies,” he said.
