Coach Thorsten Fink of Samsunspor, which will be the guest of Kocaelispor in the 4th week of the Super League, made a statement to the press members at Nuri Asan Facilities. Underlining that they have turned all their focus to Kocaelispor, Thorsten Fink said, "We have a very important match that we will play on Sunday. All my focus is there. Our club is already trying to do its best regarding the transfer period and they will carry out the work until midnight tonight. Tomorrow it will be clear who will be with us and who will leave. I am focused on the next match in the best possible way and I want to get the best result possible with the squad I have.
As a result, there are players who can leave during the transfer period, and there are players who can come. This is out of my control. As for me, I will try to do my best with the team I have. I want to prepare the team in the best possible way for this match both today and tomorrow. It is very normal that these transfer periods are hectic. It is normal that such things happened both during my Genk period and in the clubs I was in before. As a result, we need a little more time. "We are trying to continue our way with a new staff structure," he said.
"WE DID NOT PLAY AT THE RIGHT TIME TO BEAT FENERBAHÇE"
Referring to the timing of the Fenerbahçe match, Fink said, "Elliot Watt has a penalty from last year. He will not be with us for another 2 weeks. But I can say that we still have a good squad. We will play against a strong opponent, a good opponent. We will play against an opponent who has collected 6 points. We will play in a full stadium and a very good atmosphere will be waiting for us. But I have to say that I have positive thoughts about the squad I have. Frankly, we will play against Fenerbahçe match as well. "We did not perform well. We played against an opponent at the Champions League level. They were playing with the same players they played with last year and they did not have a habit period. As a result, they added 1-2 players from last year, Greenwood was one of them. They played against us with the same squad as last year. Frankly, I do not think we played at the right time to beat them."
"ALİ DİABATE WAS TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER TEAM"
Fink, who announced that the young defender Ali Diabate, who was transferred last season, was sold, said, "I can say that there are teams with almost the same level regarding the match we will play on Sunday. Kocaelispor is a team closer to our level. We will try to play with confidence. Again, our transfer Oscar Ohlenschlaeger will be able to play in this match. I can say that at least he will be in the squad. Maybe we can have an extra player in the squad. Marius Mouandilmadji has partially worked with the team. But frankly, We don't want to risk him, because if he gets injured again, we don't want to take such a risk. Afonso Sousa was already in the squad last week, and he can play in this match. We sent Ali Diabate from the team, and Tahsin Bülbül and Eyüp Değirmenci were loaned to other teams. "Asaomou and Fatih Kaya will not be with us for another 2 weeks," he said.
