Coach Thomas Reis held a press conference before the Kayserispor match, which will be played away on Saturday in Samsunspor, one of the Trendyol Super League teams, and gave information about the current situation of the team. Answering questions about referee management, foreign VAR referees’ decision, Trabzonspor victory, players not included in the squad and Kayserispor’s expectations, Reis made important statements.
“WE WANT TO BE THE PARTY THAT GET WHAT THEY WANT IN THE KAYSERISPOR MATCH”
Stating that they are continuing to work to beat Kayserispor, Thomas Reis said, “Every match is very important for us. We want to perform well in every match. It may seem like an easy match on paper, but the Kayserispor match will not be an easy match. It will be a difficult fight. It will help us improve our position in the league.” “If we look at it, we are in a very good position. Kayserispor’s position is not as good as ours. They will also play an important match to stay in the league and we have to be careful in this regard. I hope we will be the side that gets what we want.” he said.
“EVERY PLAYER IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US, THE SQUAD WILL BE SHAPED ACCORDING TO THEIR TRAINING PERFORMANCE”
Before the Trabzonspor match, the German coach gave information about the latest situations of Flavien Tait, Nany Dimata, Olivier Ntcham and Gaetan Laura, who were not included in the squad due to arriving late from Christmas, and said, “As for the issue regarding the 4 players who were left out of the squad in the Trabzonspor match, that issue is no longer for me.” From now on, I will have to decide the squad and the first 11 according to everyone’s training performance. That decision was only related to the Trabzonspor match. I will have enough players to play in the Kayserispor match. This makes me very happy. The atmosphere in the team is very good. We saw this in the last match, the decision we made did not affect the team. Every player is very important for us. “They are trying to do their best. If we continue like this, we will finish the league where we want at the end of the season,” he said.
“WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REFEREES”
Expressing his opinions about the match performance of local referees, which has been on the agenda lately, the experienced coach said, “If I speak negatively about the referees, it would be unfair and not right. They also want to do their best. I stated that I was unhappy with the decisions made by the referees in 1-2 matches. As a result, they make mistakes too, and I make mistakes as a coach. There is a decision taken by the TFF: Foreign referees are included in the VAR. The following can be done more; They may have made the game start a little quicker. I can say that we are generally happy with the referees. I received 3 yellow cards in the first 11 matches. Now they showed me 3 yellow cards because of the decisions made. “They know better, I express myself better. I started to understand them better. I hope he continues with 3 cards for the rest of the league and I don’t get the 4th yellow card and get suspended,” he said.
At the end of the meeting, Reis congratulated the press members on January 10, Working Journalists’ Day.
