In the Ziraat Turkey Cup quarter-final, where the match ended 0-0 in normal time and extra time, Trabzonspor's president Ertuğrul Doğan, whose team defeated Samsunspor 3-1 in the penalty shootout, said, "I congratulate both Samsunspor and their fans. They hosted us very well here, thank them."
''THEY HOSTED US VERY WELL''
Doğan, who congratulated Fatih Tekke, his team, and the players, expressed his wish for the result to be auspicious for their community. Thanking Trabzonspor fans for their support, Doğan stated, "Samsunspor and their fans were very sportsmanlike. Despite being down to 10 men, they fought hard. I congratulate both Samsunspor and their fans. They hosted us very well here, thank them."
Noting that they are neighbors with Samsun and need to further improve their relations, Doğan said, "We are Black Sea teams; I can say we are fish from the same pan. We need to develop our relationships further. Samsun is our friendly community. We hosted them well in Trabzon, and they hosted us very well here."
''WE WANT TO GO AS FAR AS WE CAN IN THE CUP AND THE LEAGUE''
Evaluating their league performance, Doğan said, "We want to go as far as we can in the cup. The same goes for the league. We unfortunately dropped points in the last two matches. But these things happen in football. We trust our coach and players. This year is the first year of our restructuring, and I think they are quite successful. As I said before, the winners of this year are Fatih Tekke and his team, the Trabzonspor players, and the young ones."
Regarding season goals, Doğan commented, "We see our shortcomings for next year; our reinforcement work has started and will continue. We will do our best to be in the title race next season."
''WE HAVE MADE TWO TRANSFERS''
Providing information about the transfer efforts, Doğan said, "We have made two transfers so far. There will be new transfers in the coming days. Our negotiations are ongoing. I won't name names here, but hopefully, we will continue to finalize these deals one by one soon."
