“IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO WATCH THE MATCH FROM THE TRANSLATION”
Stating that it was more difficult to watch the Samsunspor match from the stands than from the sidelines, Selçuk İnan said, “It is much more difficult to watch the match from the stands. I have been suspended several times before. Samsunspor was a difficult match for us, a difficult away game. We were up against a team that had not been able to win at home for a long time. I would like to congratulate my players again, they showed everything we worked for almost literally on the field. At least defensively, we played a very high-level match. Also for us in terms of team defense. “It was very important. We brought everything we thought and dreamed of strategically to the match. We thought we would find a lot of positions from the transitions. However, if we had been a little more careful in the last final passes, we could have come back with 3 points,” he said.
“WE WILL PAST A WEEK IN A FESTIVE AIR IN THE CITY”
Answering the questions about the Fenerbahçe match, the young coach said, “You have to learn a lesson from every match you play. I am a coach who analyzes the matches we played in the first half a lot. Because ninety percent of the players are the same, even if the coaches change and the game patterns change. It was a match in which we started well there. In fact, there was a very good fight, a good match, until the 70th minute of the match. Now, of course, it will be different. In front of our own field and our audience, against one of the strongest teams in Türkiye.” oynayacağız. Ben hep şöyle bakıyorum; 16-17 yıl aradan sonra lige çıktık ve bu haftaları bizim gibi takımlar için bir bayram haftası gibi görüyorum. Şölen havasında bir hafta geçecek diye düşünüyorum. İnsanlar çok heyecanlı. Herkes bu maçı bekliyor. Bu tür büyük maçlar tabii ki oyuncular için de ayrıca çok önemli. Kendilerini farklı hazırlıyorlar. Benim için çok bir şey değişmiyor. Rakibe karşı nasıl yönlerimizi gösterebiliriz? Onların zaaflarını neler? Bu şekilde çalışıyorum. Yine aynı şekilde çalışacağım, bir şey “But playing against a big team is something that all the players and the city want. If we play right, if we fight at least as much as Fenerbahçe, which needs more, I hope we can get a win.”
“WE FOCUS ON OUR OWN GAME AND OUR STRUGGLE”
Regarding the fact that the match could be an extra stress factor due to its impact on the championship race or could be in favor of Kocaelispor, Selçuk İnan said, “Those calculations are outside of us. That’s how I look at it. I am only focused on the fight my team will give on the field and the points and points it will win. Apart from that, the things you mentioned are possible, but these are more things that the opponents will think about. We are only focused on our own game and the result we will get together in our own fight.”
“Of course, TALENT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, WE WILL POST OUR STRUGGLE”
In his assessment of whether the rising expectation after the Galatasaray win is a pressure factor, İnan said, “We are trying not to create pressure, we are talking to our players. We are fighting against very big and important clubs here, but ultimately all teams are the same for me. You have to fight on the field. Of course, it is not very easy to play against Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş, Trabzon. Because they have very important players. Although sometimes you keep all your players on the field with tactical discipline correctly, talent makes a difference. Fenerbahçe has a lot of these talents. We will put our fight on the field. If you give your all in such matches, you will win in return. It would be nice if the result comes. But my priority is a good game and a good fight with our fans. We will see what happens next.
“IF SOMEONE LEAVES, WE CAN ONLY REPLACE PLAYERS BORN IN 2004 AND OLDER”
Expressing the excitement and expectation caused by the closure of the Vukovic file and the remaining precautions in the transfer, the 40-year-old coach said, “There was a Vukovic file regarding the transfer, it was paid. However, as you know, we have a problem with the limits. We are in the minus right now. That is why we have a transfer problem. Even if there is to be a transfer, there must be a quota. In other words, we can buy a player born in 2004 and above. This is important. The transfer has been opened, there is no such thing as saying we can be the player we want. “If a player leaves us, there will still be a quota to replace him. Oleksandr Syrota will probably leave us. If he leaves, there are 1-2 players we are talking about who were born in 2004 and above. We will tell them when it becomes clear, so we will be able to replace them with players born in 2004 and above.”
“WE WILL GO ON THE FIELD TO WIN. THAT IS OUR PRIORITY”
Asking whether the fact that Fenerbahçe might be tired because of the European match will give them an advantage, Selçuk İnan said, “Fenerbahçe won all their previous matches. There are very important players in the big teams. Their fatigue can of course be seen as an advantage. It depends on the perspective. But no matter which team it is, we will go out on the field to win in our own field and in front of our audience. First of all, of course, that is our goal. The closest example in such matches was the Trabzonspor match. We made a lot of effort to win. Very good.” “We fought, but ultimately it was a disappointment with the goal we conceded in the last minute. We will go on the field to win the match, but every point you win is very valuable and important in this league,” he said.
“KOCAELİSPOR WAS A DIFFICULT AWAY FOR THE RIVALS”
Following the question asked about Fenerbahçe Coach Domenico Tedesco’s statements about Kocaelispor, Kocaelispor Coach Selçuk İnan stated that they watch all Fenerbahçe’s matches and analyze the players, and said, “That’s our job anyway. We try to analyze all their matches and players. We share this with our players. Yes, Kocaelispor was a difficult away game for the rival teams. This is a very important thing for us. But this should not remain just words.” “We will continue to do our best for this,” he said.
