News details

Trabzonspor head coach Hüseyin Çimşir, whose side defeated Gençlerbirliği 5-0 at home on matchweek 4 of the Trendyol Super Lig, said: "I am extremely pleased with the desire and determination of the squad. Step by step, gradually, we will move upwards."

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Çimşir expressed his happiness with the victory and continued: "The players responded very well. There is nothing we did in such a short time, but their energy, desire, and passion were good. We must thank President Ertuğrul for building such a squad. I believe it is a squad built with serious effort, both for the city of Trabzon and Turkish football. They also gave serious support; their energy was high. I think it was a good match. We have shortcomings section by section, piece by piece, but I see these as problems that can be fixed through hard work.

Responding to a question regarding what changed in a one-week period, Çimşir stated: "In practice, we couldn't work on much. We only held one training session because some players were on leave. With their arrival, we only worked on tactical matters on the pitch on Friday. But during that 4-5 day period, we focused on boosting the players' energy by reaching out to them. We showed and explained things more in theory by talking to the players. They gave us that feedback through their energy and enthusiasm in training. Of course, playing the football we want is not easy. We said we would start with a high press, and for 10-15 minutes, it went as we wished. After finding the goal, there were times when we conceded transitions a bit more. But I repeat, I am extremely pleased with the squad's desire and determination. Step by step, gradually, we will move upwards."

Regarding the heavy victory, Çimşir said: "I don't have a magic wand in three days, it's not something I did. We just tried to help the players in this short period. The players are the ones doing the job. We have a genuinely high-quality squad. Nothing is lost. It is a long league marathon, and I believe this city will embark on a dream journey with this team. Trabzonspor, I think for this season, will aim for the top in all 3 competitions. I am not selling this to anyone as a pipe dream. But because I trust this team, I believe together they will make everyone dream this dream. Whether it happens or not, I don't know that part, but I am certain of this: these players, this team will fight for the top spot across 3 competitions."
