Their support gives positive energy to the team.”

“We analyzed the opponent well”

Before the match to be played away, Olcay Şahan stated that they have analyzed the opponent well, saying, “We have not been able to leave the matches we played away with a victory this season. We will prepare very well for the match on Sunday, and I believe we will leave with a victory from the away game. Looking at the opposing team, the young players I had a mentoring role with at Beşiktaş are playing there. We also want to prepare well for that match and be the side that leaves with three points.”

Emphasizing that he is pleased with the team’s progress, the young coach stated, “We have a good situation statistically. Of course, in football, the player who plays is happy, and the player who does not play is unhappy. We are also trying to ensure happiness within the team. All my players have had a chance. We make moves according to the opponent. We always keep the competition within the team at the highest level. When the competition is at a high level, we succeed. Our team responds beautifully to this.” he concluded.
