"SZALAI TRANSFER IS AT A STANDSTILL"

"WE WILL BE PATIENT WITH ONUACHU"
About Paul Onuachu, who played on loan for Trabzonspor last season, Abdullah Avcı said, "We talked to Onuachu 3-4 days ago; he wants to be with us. At the moment, I can't say it happened or it didn't happen. The president is working hard on this issue. We will be patient for a while."
PLANS FOR THE NEW SEASON
Avcı, who stated that they started the new season early and that this could be an advantage, said, "We have about 5-6 players who have been transferred. It is very important for their adaptation. It seems important in terms of enabling communication among the players. I think it is an advantage as long as we create the right competition. We have made such a plan so far for this season. I hope it comes true."
WHAT IS THE LATEST SITUATION WITH MEUNIER AND DRAGUS?
Talking about Meunier and Dragus, Avcı said, "Meunier had an injury while on national team duty. His treatment is ongoing. The health team is closely monitoring his condition. He will join us on the 18th. Dragus will join us on the 12th."
"WE WILL STRIVE TO DO BETTER"
Abdullah Avcı also stated, "We achieved the goals we set last season. The goal of finishing 3rd was a realistic one. We couldn't win the cup final and we were upset. We have started working to do better next season. Trabzonspor will always compete. I know what the fans want. We are trying to create a team that bothers the opponent and produces more. I am happy to be in Trabzonspor. I see myself as excited as if I am starting coaching anew. We will strive to do better."
