Thomas Reis: “We played a very good match as a team.”

Samsunspor’s head coach Thomas Reis, regarding the match in which they defeated Hatayspor 3-0 away, said, “We played a very good match as a team.”

In the 4th week of the Trendyol Super League, Samsunspor defeated Hatayspor 3-0 in a match played in Mersin. In the press conference held after the match, Samsunspor’s head coach Reis started his speech by saying “good evening” in Turkish and expressed that they were happy with the victory they achieved. Reis stated that they played a very good match as a team, saying, “This was our third match. We didn’t play a match last week. Of course, it wasn’t easy to play this match. Our team showed a very good performance. We played very clearly and scored 3 goals. We only gave our opponent 2 chances, and we had many more opportunities. We are very happy to return to Samsun with 3 points and a victory.”

“Our main goal right now is to stay in the league”

In response to a journalist’s question, “Can we set a goal already?” Reis said, “It is too early to talk about any goal now. Today, as a team, we did not show a poor performance; we played well. We are at the beginning of the league. We need to try to get as many points as possible. Of course, our main goal right now is to stay in the league. If we want to stay in the league, we need to get a lot of points, especially at the beginning of the season. We need to show a better performance to reach our goal for the remaining part of the league. But it would be too early to specify a goal at this moment.”

“We want to see them in the stadium”

In response to another journalist’s question, “You will play two home matches after the national break. What message do you have for the fans in this regard?” Reis said, “I hope our fans do not leave us alone in the matches we will play at home. Because the team is trying to do its best and we are fighting. We are working very hard. We are showing a very good performance mentally. We want to see them in the stadium.”
