Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan made statements regarding the agenda following the Clubs Union Meeting.
''OUR THOUGHT IS TO WIN, BUT FIRST FAIR PLAY''
Speaking about the Trabzonspor - Fenerbahçe match to be played this week in the Trendyol Super League, Ertuğrul Doğan said, "I hope it will be a match where the referee is not influential, the deserving team wins, and it is played fairly. We will host Fenerbahçe in the best way in Trabzon. As Trabzonspor, we have only one thought; to win. But first, fair play, a match without injuries, played on the field, where the referee is not involved, and there are no wrong decisions for both teams," he stated.
"IF THE FEDERATION DEEMS IT APPROPRIATE, WE WILL GO FOR THE B TEAM APPLICATION''
Doğan stated that some clubs have requested a B Team and that this issue will be submitted for TFF approval, saying, "Clubs that want to participate have communicated their requests to us. We will inform the federation that 'These clubs want to benefit from the B Team issue.' The next steps will be a different process. Especially in lower leagues, the biggest costs are travel and accommodation expenses. When traveling together with the A Team, many of these costs will be avoided. Therefore, we have clubs that want to participate and clubs that do not want to participate. We have not imposed any obligation in this regard. Our clubs that want to participate have prepared their plans accordingly. If the federation deems it appropriate, we will implement this application next year," he expressed.
