The head coach of the Turkish team Samsunspor, Thomas Reis, assessed the start of his team in the current season and touched on the upcoming match against Dynamo Kyiv in the 2nd round of the main stage of the Conference League, which will take place on October 23 in Samsun.
Thomas Reis«We have lost only one of the eight matches in the Turkish championship this season („Samsunspor“ — „Antalyaspor“ — 1:2, — editor’s note), which shows that we are achieving good results as a team. We were also very pleased with the victory in our opening match of the main stage of the Conference League („Legia“ — „Samsunspor“ — 0:1, — editor’s note). We are very happy that we were able to please our fans. I’m sure they are proud of us.
But, as last year, I don’t like to talk about goals for this season. For me, the most important thing is to progress match by match. This year we started our European campaign well and have already earned the first three points in the Conference League. However, the next match against Dynamo Kyiv will be very difficult. If we win, it will give us a very important advantage in solving the task of reaching the playoffs of the Conference League. But, as I said, we need to take it match by match.
Team spirit is very important for us. We need to show strong morale in each match. This was our main strength last year, and we want to maintain it this year. Yes, we may not have the strongest squad and the best players. Nevertheless, we work as a team, and this is how we want to succeed. We strive to show good morale and character, which makes us strong in every match. Our main strength is our unity,» Samsun Gazetesi quotes Reis.
