Trabzonspor's head coach Fatih Tekke made a statement regarding the agenda and transfers. Tekke mentioned that two transfers are nearing completion, saying, "I am learning about the status of these players from our president. He says that things are progressing positively. He mentioned that it could be finalized today or tomorrow. We are waiting for them. To be honest, I want the transfers to come through quickly."
The head coach of the maroon-blue team, Fatih Tekke, who is continuing the preparations for the new season in Erzurum, made a statement to the press.
'IT CAN EXCITE US'
Tekke stated that it is important for them that the new players joining the team arrive early, saying, "The harmony between the players, clarifying their physical conditions, these are important for us because everyone has expectations. New players, playing together with a new identity and a new game can excite us."
Fatih Tekke, regarding the reinforcements he wants for the team, said, "I told my players and I am telling you as well. At least 2 midfielders, one winger, and in my opinion, one center-back. Meanwhile, we have a numerical problem, so there is the issue of who will stay and who will leave among the players inside. We are progressing slowly; we need to speed this up a bit. That is my expectation. But so far, I can say that our president and the entire team are doing their best. Sometimes we may experience situations we do not want, but for now, I can say we are a bit slow."
'WE ARE EXPECTING 2 NEW TRANSFERS'
Tekke stated that they will continue with transfers and mentioned that 2 transfers are about to be completed, saying, "I learn about the status of these players from our president. Our president says it is progressing positively. He mentioned that it could be completed today or tomorrow. We are waiting for them. To be honest, I want the transfers to come quickly."
'FINDING A SECOND TURKISH GOALKEEPER IS NOT EASY'
Tekke also shared his views about the captain and goalkeeper of the maroon-blue team, Uğurcan Çakır, and continued:
"We have a request for a goalkeeper; we have such a thought, but finding a second Turkish goalkeeper behind a goalkeeper like Uğurcan Çakır is not easy. We don't have many alternatives. There are one or two names on the agenda. We have things we have discussed and thought about, but if that doesn't work out, the players behind are also our players. No player develops without playing. Therefore, regardless of their ages, these players will be ready for that. The question of why Fatih or Ahmet is not playing is not a question for me. If you need to play in Trabzonspor, it is related to performance, not names. My primary criterion is performance."
Fatih Tekke expressed that they should not make mistakes in defense, stating, "We should not make absurd mistakes in defense. We need to be prepared for team defense first. For this, our physical level needs to increase compared to other teams. There are many factors, and we will try to create a template by considering all of them. But everything is going quite well; all my players are working incredibly hard. However, our quality needs to improve, and for that, I am waiting for the transfers to come quickly."
