Stating that the match they will play against Göztepe at home on Sunday is of great importance, Yılmaz said:
“We are in a good relationship with our teacher Burak and our dreams for the future are increasing day by day. Of course, the important thing is to maintain this. A Göztepe match worth perhaps six points awaits us. If we win this match, we will be at the same point with Göztepe, which is in the fourth place in the league. I wholeheartedly believe in our players, our coach Burak, his team, all of them.“
