Göztepe Coach Stanimir Stoilov: "Our club's initiatives regarding one or two transfers continue. I hope that this process will be completed as soon as possible and new players will join us and increase the competitive environment in the team."

Göztepe, one of the Trendyol Super League teams, continues its preparations for the new season in Bled, Slovenia. While meeting with the press, the coach of the yellow-reds, Stanimir Stoilov, made statements about the agenda. The Bulgarian coach said that transfer activities continue.

Göztepe Coach Stanimir Stoilov stated that the preparations for the season have been extremely productive and the team needs to reach high dynamism and said, "Our players have been working very efficiently so far. We are carrying out physical, individual and tactical activities as a team. We played a friendly match, but this competition is undoubtedly not enough to see our true level. High dynamism and aggressiveness are of great importance in our football style; therefore, all our players need to achieve this high dynamism as a team as soon as possible. Our work is currently in this direction." "We continue," he said.

Emphasizing that the transfer processes are continuing and that they will start the league with a difficult fixture, Stoilov said, "Our club's initiatives regarding one or two transfers are continuing. I hope that this process will be completed as soon as possible and that new players will join us and increase the competitive environment in the team. I believe that the transfers will take place quickly, but I do not know exactly when they will be concluded. Activities are ongoing for now. The most important thing for us is to make a good start to the league. As you can see, a difficult fixture awaits us at the beginning of the league; two important ones." "We will play an away match, so we need to reach maximum points quickly," he said.

"We could not get the contribution we wanted from winter transfers"

Evaluating the effects of last season's injuries and winter transfers on the team, Stoilov said, "Among the reasons for this situation, we can first show a few important injuries we experienced in that period. In addition, the players we added to our squad during the winter transfer period could not contribute to the competitive environment in the team at the level we wanted. Despite this, we are here, we did our best and produced good work. However, we will continue our activities with greater effort in order to be much more successful this season."

"It is not easy to achieve the success that Göztepe has achieved in the last two seasons"

Stating that they will work to continue Göztepe's success in the last two seasons and take the team to a better point in the league, Stoilov said, "In general terms, it is not easy to achieve the success that Göztepe has achieved in the last two seasons. We experienced great difficulties, but we won very important matches and collected critical points. Now we will continue our activities again and do everything we can to finish the league in a better position this year."

"We want to be where we want at the end of the season"

Stating that they hope to achieve their end-of-season goals and that their search for Turkish players continues, Stoilov said, "The most important thing is to reach our target point and be where we want when the last day of the season comes; I hope we will achieve this this year. This is the current status and we are obliged to comply with this rule. Since I am not an expert on these rules, I cannot comment much on these rules; however, I can state that our search for Turkish players continues. The transfer costs of Turkish players are quite high."

Emphasizing that he prefers to focus on youth players due to high transfer costs, Coach Stoilov concluded his words by saying, "In the face of these costs, I prefer to include players from the youth team in the first team and try them. Of course, it may take a few years for these players to adapt to the team. Unfortunately, Turkish players are very expensive and despite these high costs, they may not always be at the desired level."

Janderson: "Our work is going as we want"

Stating that the new season activities have started and their goal is to exceed the last season, Janderson said, "Thankfully, our activities are going as we wanted. We came here and started hard activities and preparations for the new season. Of course, our goals are to double what we did last season and to move forward by doubling."

Emphasizing that they aim to start the season in the best possible way, both mentally and physically, Janderson said, "We are starting this season by working harder individually. I hope I can help my team in the best way possible. We will start the season in the best possible way, both mentally and physically, that is our goal. We are coming here to Europe to do our best and to put forward the best for our club." - LYUBLYANA
