Trabzonspor Head Coach Thomas Reis, stating that Freiburg is one of the teams he knows very well, said, "We want to continue our upward climb in Europe by getting a very good result tomorrow." Speaking also about the injured players, Reis gave his fans the bad news.
In the 3rd week of the UEFA Europa Conference League, Trabzonspor, who will host German side Freiburg tomorrow, held a press conference at the stadium where the match will be played, with Head Coach Thomas Reis.
''ONE OF THE TEAMS I KNOW VERY WELL''
Stating that Freiburg is one of the teams he knows closely, Thomas Reis said, "It is one of the teams I know very well. A team that applies good pressure and has high pressing power. What we need to do is produce the right solutions. While coaching Samsunspor, we faced a German team, but the result was not as we wanted. Tomorrow, I hope we will leave the pitch with a good result. We want to move upward in Europe."
''THEY WILL NOT BE WITH US UNTIL THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK''
Reis, who also made assessments regarding the situation of injured players, said, "I do not like talking about players who cannot be with us. There are injuries and I am not happy with this situation. However, we must not forget that injuries also mean an opportunity for other players. We do not have many alternatives regarding the striker position. We will see what we can do and make the most correct choice. We plan to go out on the pitch with the best squad. Aral and Dju will not be able to be with us until the international break."
''EVERY MATCH HAS A DIFFERENT STORY''
Also touching on the team's recent performance, Thomas Reis emphasized that every match has its own unique story and said, "Good results always help the team. Opponents also take this into account. What we need to do is show the same attitude. Our recent matches have not been easy for us. Sometimes you need to be patient. We also had difficulties in the last match. Sometimes the solution to matches can be found at halftime. Every match has a different story from the others."
''IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER''
Stating that he was satisfied with where the team has reached, the German coach said, "If you have a good squad, you may have difficulty as a head coach regarding the starting 11. However, I can say that we have reached a good level as a team. Tomorrow, I hope we will play in a full stadium. What we need to do is put in a good performance. As long as the pitch and the stands are united, our job becomes easier. If the fans are on your side, things become much easier."
