Fenerbahçe Coach Emre Belözoğlu said that the yellow-dark blue team is aiming for a game that is focused on winning, has clear plans and will increase defensive plans.
Meeting with members of the press before the training of the yellow-dark blue team at Fenerbahçe Can Bartu Facilities in Samandıra, coach Belözoğlu answered many questions, from the change in the team to their goals.
"WE AIM FOR A WINNING-ORIENTED GAME"
Regarding the game he wants to play in Fenerbahçe, Belözoğlu said, "We need to build a structure that will move from player to player on its own. We aim for a game that is focused on winning, has clear plans, and in which we will increase the defensive plans. This team has shown that it can do this to Liverpool, one of the strongest teams in the world, in terms of defense. Even the smallest teams in the world do hard block training. We tested today, everyone is in good shape. Fenerbahçe can meet everyone physically. We aim to implement a game where there is a plan in everything. We are working for this. I hope to take this photo as soon as possible. "We will show it to everyone." he said.
"CHANGE WAS NEEDED IN SAMANDIRA"
"It had to happen," he said when asked about the change from the technical staff to the medical team in Samandıra. Belözoğlu replied, "There is nothing beyond the change. I came with a team. Change was needed in Samandıra. It is not as if those who came were perfect and those who left were bad. I do not find this right. There are many people who contributed. It is all about change. We had determined points and we had to act quickly. This is a relay race, we took over. We will try to do as much as we can. There is nothing beyond change. I would like to thank those who contributed. People have families, "It is necessary to pay attention to this when making an evaluation here. Those who left were also valuable names." he said.
"FENERBAHÇE HAS THE GENETICS OF THE GAME"
Underlining that they need to play a different kind of football in Fenerbahçe, Emre Belözoğlu stated that athlete football players have become important in the world.
Emphasizing that the yellow-dark blue team has a history in terms of the football they play, Belözoğlu said, "Fenerbahçe has genetics of the game. There is a great community expectation. I have said what is needed for Fenerbahçe's game, quality and passion. In some matches, intelligence will be involved. In some matches, there will be different words. Quality is a must. We will see how much faster we will get. My hope is to do this quickly. Our start was not bad. But spring does not come with a single flower, I wish it not to be artificial." made the statement.
"OUR AGENDA IS ENTIRELY KOCAELİSPOR MATCH"
Underlining that their current agenda is the first Kocaelispor match to be played, Belözoğlu said, "Our agenda is not the moves we will make in January and the shortcomings of the team. Fenerbahçe has a clear strength. I feel it in training, I feel it when I talk to the player, I felt it in the first match we played. Our agenda today is not the move and the Trabzonspor match. Our agenda will be entirely the Kocaelispor match, then the Shakhtar match. We seriously need to build the organization that will be a salve for the team. We need to make evaluations when the time comes. "There was a national team break, this is an advantage. Some players were not called to the national teams, we will make small touches for them. The criterion for success in Fenerbahçe is performance. I am worried about how much I can prepare the team for the Kocaelispor match." he said.
"THE PLAYER SHOULD KNOW THIS PLACE SPECIALLY"
Emre Belözoğlu stated that his biggest wish in Fenerbahçe is to give a chance to the players coming from the infrastructure.
Reminding that he had previously worked as a sports director and then as a technical man in the yellow-dark blue club, Belözoğlu said, "There were young names we played at that time. This is a big goal. But we need to look realistically, we need to be on the field with the best and strongest squad we have. Yiğit Efe Demir is currently one of our most valuable players. He has both league and European experience. We are talking about a young and experienced player. We need every football player." he said.
Speaking about the word "Privacy", which he had previously used at the press conference, Belözoğlu said:
