News details

Fink evaluated the away fixture against Kocaelispor to be played on Sunday, September 6, at a press conference held at the Nuri Asan Facilities.

Explaining that they have turned all their focus to the Kocaelispor match, Fink said, "Our club is already doing its best regarding the transfer window, and they will be conducting business until midnight tonight. Tomorrow, we will clearly learn who will continue with us and who will join us. I am fully focused on the upcoming match in the best possible way and want to get as good a result as possible."

Stating that he is trying to prepare the team for the match in the best way with the players at his disposal, Fink remarked, "It is very normal for transfer windows to be busy. Ultimately, we need a bit more time, and we are trying to move forward with a new squad restructuring. Elliot Watt has a suspension carried over from his home country. He won't be able to be with us for about 2 more weeks. But I can say that we already have a good squad. We will play against a strong opponent, a good opponent. We will play against an opponent that has collected 6 points. We will play in a packed stadium, and a great atmosphere will be waiting for us. But I must also say that I have positive thoughts regarding the squad I have."

Expressing that Kocaelispor is a team closer to their own level, Fink said, "We will also try to play with confidence. Our new signing Oscar will be able to play in this fixture. I can at least say he will definitely be in the squad."
