"I THANK TEACHER ÖZHAN"
Stating that Eyüpspor's previous coach Özhan Pulat created a team from scratch, the 53-year-old coach said:
"I would like to thank my coach Özhan Pulat. His job was very difficult. 20-24 players of the 28-man squad were new. It is not easy to achieve a certain rhythm in the Super League with such a team. A certain process is required. Our first goal will be to make the right plans for this newly formed team. In order to change these places, we need to transform the players' abilities into playing power. For this, we need to make touches. It is easy to change the athletic status of a team. It is also easy to develop the resistance and endurance of the players. Developing and establishing the playing power of the team is very difficult. "I am aware of the individual talents of our players. Some of the players who have worked with me before are here. We need to catch up with the playing power as soon as possible. The most important thing here is our players who need psychological and mental support. We want to keep the players' psychology high."
"WE WANT TO INCREASE PSYCHOLOGICAL POWER"
The experienced coach stated that he wanted to correct the trauma of the match lost 8-0 to Fenerbahçe in the league and said, "We can already increase the physical data. We want to increase the psychological strength. It is necessary to fulfill the self-confidence of the team. In order to be more productive in the third zone, we must work with the players on offensive options and variations. This game is actually a compact game. We must attack and defend together. We need to reflect this understanding on the field. I am lucky in this regard. We came close to the half-time. This is a challenge for me and my technical team." "I have an advantage of 12-13 days. I think we can reflect our planning and playing power on the field. If we get the playing power and 3 points we want in the Göztepe match, it will be a very important gain for us." made his assessment.
"I BELIEVE IN THE CAST"
Mustafa Dalcı said that they can move higher in the league with the players in the Eyüpspor squad.
Stating what needs to be changed in Eyüpspor, Dalcı said, "If I believe in something, I will do it. I will go to the end. If my thoughts are gray, I will not get into that job. I am aware of the player potential. I believe in the player squad. I am sure that this squad will push higher. I want to strengthen our players psychologically with dialogues. This is a district. We know this culture. There are Eyüpspor fans who are committed to this crest and community. We expect them to the matches as a driving force. We will be united with everyone. We will move up from where we are. "We are not in a bad position in the table. There are teams that are one game ahead of us. We have to win 1-2 more games than the other teams." he said.
"WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PLAYERS"
Mustafa Dalcı noted that he can make a difference with Eyüpspor and said, "The decisive factor in creating this difference is our players. We need to take care of our players. We have 28 players like lions. We will instill the culture of the neighborhood and the greatness of Eyüpspor's community in them. Not everyone can be an athlete and an artist. We must reflect these talents that God has given us on the field in the best way. They have the profession that everyone wants. We need to explain how valuable the work they do is. We need to show that they are the workers of this job. I am a warrior. "I am human. It bothers me to be defeated even in backgammon. I want my players to have this character too." he said.
TRANSFER DESCRIPTION
Mustafa Dalcı stated that Eyüpspor's transfer board is currently closed and said, "I always think about the bad. I will act as if the transfer board will not be opened until the end of the season. I will act as if this squad will take us until the end of the season. I have to think like this. I do not think the feared scenario will come true. I think we will be in a safe zone when the Super League ends." he said.
Reminding that there are currently 4-5 players from the infrastructure in the squad, Dalcı said, "Yesterday, I was with the youth coordinator Gökhan Bölükbaşı. When I took over, I said that I would follow the under-17 and 19 teams. I have touched the youth players in every club I went to. If there is that potential here, I will make my touches." he said.
