Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, going through a critical process in the championship race, delivered a unity message with the president, coach, and players ahead of the Bodrum FK match. President Nahit Eren called for solidarity, stating that they will win the remaining matches and rise to the Super League.
In the Trendyol 1. Lig, with the season nearing its end, the second team to directly ascend to the Süper Lig will become clear after 2 matches.
AMEDSPOR AT A CRITICAL TURN Having lost their advantage in the top 2 race with last week's defeat to Bandırmaspor, Amed Sportif Faaliyetler will now need to win their remaining two matches and hope their rival drops points. Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, continuing preparations for the Bodrum FK match, held a press conference with Club President Nahit Eren, Technical Director Mesut Bakkal, and players Erce Kardeşler, Mbaye Diagne, Mehmet Yeşil, Çekdar Orhan, and Florent Hasani.
''WE WILL BE PROMOTED TO THE SÜPER LİG'' President Eren stated they would become champions by winning the remaining matches. Eren said, "Yes, we have two matches. But of course, we lost an advantage we had. However, even in the worst-case scenario, I repeat the same sentence after 2 matches; even if it were 3 matches, we will win these matches and be promoted to the Süper Lig. We have always believed in this. We have always believed in our friends. We embarked on this journey together. We became leaders with these friends. We are together when we gain points and when we lose them. But as a club president, I of course apologize for the slight breaking of the great hope formed in society for Amedspor's promotion to the Süper Lig with such high expectations. All my friends, the technical staff, the players, and our club staff... Yes, if we have lost the advantage we had with today's result, we are also questioning ourselves. We are examining the issues that led to this result one by one. Indeed, after the Bandırmaspor match, we sat down with our players and technical staff and evaluated this issue at length without resorting to any excuses."
Emphasizing that they are going through a stressful process and that as the league nears its end, everyone should respect the players' self-confidence and effort in meeting expectations, Eren used the following expressions:
''The public also observed that factors outside our control unfortunately affected the match result. Yes, it is difficult not to be lacking in a match. But we have never talked about referees until now, and we have been careful not to. However, after this match, we contacted the relevant authorities of the Turkish Football Federation. We requested that both our own match and the last match of the other team we are competing with in the league be reviewed and the positions evaluated. Indeed, it was seen by them that we were right in many of our objections. We have always said this: We want a fair and equal competition. We demand that the deserving one reaches the result through effort and struggle. However, in the recent process, we all saw that equality and the sense of justice were damaged in this regard. Not only us, but the sports public all over Turkey also evaluated these positions and made their determinations. Today, it was expressed by them that we were right in the points we objected to."
''IF WE ARE GOING TO BE CHAMPIONS, LET ME GO IMMEDIATELY'' Technical Director Mesut Bakkal, who then took the floor, said, ''If we are going to be champions, let me go immediately. Right now, immediately. What matters here is Amed's championship. That's what matters, and we are all here together for that, together with the player group. I have been here for exactly 54-55 days, I haven't eaten out yet, I haven't gone on a single visit. We also know we did some things incompletely. We also know, we are not doing this job for the first time. Look, look at the work we did just at the time we were supposed to unite and endure. Is it this difficult to support us for two weeks, ten days? Is it this difficult to support Amed? You know what brought us here, right? The events we experienced. I say this sincerely. And I apologize to everyone. But I love this place very much. I want this place to be champion more than anyone."
''WE WILL BE PROMOTED TO THE SÜPER LİG IN ANY CASE'' Player Mbaye Diagne said, "What I believe is that we will be promoted to the Süper Lig and I am sure of it until the end. Whether first, second, or play-off, we will be promoted to the Süper Lig in any case."
