Managerial Comments Ahead of Kickoff
Trabzonspor manager Thomas Reis addressed broadcasters prior to the match regarding squad mentality and fixture density.
“Our team learned things from the last match,” Reis told beIN SPORTS. “I told my team after the match that the mentality we showed in the first half was not sufficient or correct. Today I hope we will spread the mentality we showed in the second half to the whole match.”
Reis also commented on injuries within the squad: “We have a few injuries. It is a sad situation. Aral and Franculino… they were doing well, but as I always say, all injuries should be evaluated as an opportunity for other players. Onuachu is back. It will be an important opportunity for Noah too. We are like a family. Everyone who plays on the field gives their struggle.”
