Kasımpaşa Head Coach Emre Belözoğlu answered the question about Fenerbahçe after the match they played against Beşiktaş. Here are the details...
Kasımpaşa head coach Emre Belözoğlu spoke after the Beşiktaş match. The young coach responded to a question that came after his name was linked with Fenerbahçe.
"IT WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE"
Stating that Fenerbahçe has always had a special place in his heart, the young coach said, 'I do not find it very meaningful to talk about Fenerbahçe's place in our past. As a former Fenerbahçe player who experienced the club's most difficult periods, its happiest periods... and very happy and very sad times, Fenerbahçe is a place where everyone definitely has their own dreams, goals, and where they want to be. Fenerbahçe will also always have a special place in my heart.'
''I DON'T THINK I AM THE ADDRESSEE''
Continuing his remarks, Emre Belözoğlu said, 'But today I do not think I am the addressee or the subject of this question. Because Fenerbahçe is a very large community. I do not think I am in a position or situation to make an assessment regarding a decision made today by the elders of the community, [or] the managers who run Fenerbahçe. Because I see being a candidate for the Fenerbahçe head coaching job as an inappropriate situation that should not exist.'
"YOU DON'T APPLY FOR THAT POSITION, THEY DEEM YOU WORTHY OF IT"
Expressing that one does not become a candidate for the position at Fenerbahçe, but is deemed worthy of it, Belözoğlu said, 'I have really devoted 6 years to this profession. At Fenerbahçe, you do not become a candidate for that position; at Fenerbahçe, those who run the club, the managers, deem you worthy of that position. They show an attitude, they make you feel they believe in you; then some things must develop.' Emre Belözoğlu, who said, 'At the point Fenerbahçe has reached today, it is a very big team that can always react. As I said a little earlier, I do not think I am the subject of this question. I am completely motivated for Kasımpaşa. At this point, I am afraid of not appreciating this and of being unfair to my players and my club—so to speak, of being disrespectful. Because today we are really doing a very important job all together,' made the following statement.
''I HAVE NEVER HIDDEN THIS''
Finally, Emre Belözoğlu said, 'I also say without any hesitation that Fenerbahçe should always be a very good, very strong team that wins championships. Because I have never hidden this.'
