"They are deceiving the TFF President!"

In the 3rd week match of the Ziraat Turkish Cup Group A, Trabzonspor defeated Çaykur Rizespor 5-2 on their home field and advanced to the quarterfinals. Trabzonspor Technical Director Şenol Güneş made statements at the press conference held after the match. Güneş, stating that Çaykur Rizespor is a good team, said, "They have a good coach. They played good football. They won in the league last week. They easily got through the difficult match with the game discipline, desire to win and appetite of our players to play together. Their concentration was at a high level. They did good things in terms of football. They did good things both in offense and defense. I can say positive things about today. We can see this when we look at the game. Those who entered the game later also contributed. I am pleased. As a result, we got out of the group. There is also the advantage of coming out in 1st place. We may have gotten out a little late. We could have seen some players if it was guaranteed. There is no physical deficiency. Now it needs to become sustainable. I hope we continue this."

"TRABZONSPOR IS NOT ONLY COMPETING IN THE CUP BUT ALSO IN THE LEAGUE"

Trabzonspor Technical Director Şenol Güneş, touching upon his team's struggle in both the Turkish Cup and the league, said, "Trabzonspor is not only competing in the cup, but also in the league. Since we arrived, there were two courses and both are continuing. Trabzonspor should always be in the championship race. If we look at the situation in the league, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are unfortunately ahead, while the other teams are playing for 3-4-5. We lost a lot of points during my term, and we are uncomfortable about this. It is difficult to get points without playing good football without a team. We could have gotten them but it didn't mean the league is over. When we overcome the deficiency caused by not winning matches away, it will turn into a series anyway. We will also talk about our deficiency. We want to get to the top by playing football. No matter what the conditions are, my players need to adapt to the situation. Today, my players were good on the field despite all the negativities."

"THEY ARE DECEIVING THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERATION"

Şenol Güneş made the following statements regarding the club's statements:

"I won't say anything again. You brought me to the minibus last week. You asked me a question and upset the TFF President. I don't want to upset Mr. Hacıosmanoğlu. He sent me a note. I didn't want to send him a note but I'm saying it. They are fooling you. They are fooling you, be careful. Don't take sides in the circles, you are impartial. You are above all. The Federation Presidency is an important place. You are a decent man, a brave man. Those around you make you give false statements. They make you tie the first button wrong. They make you fight with the bottom button. I say these as a football man. Nothing changes. They do everything to disrupt our game order. People get angry. I feel sorry for the president. I won this match, why should I talk about the referees. The referees have no bad intentions but if they do wrong, we will be in the same place. You are putting a guard at the door of the treasury. He is an honest man but the treasury is stolen. You are putting a fraud. It is stolen again. I want to protect the treasury. I don't care who is at the door... "This capital we have is going away. Indifference and distrust are increasing. If the same things continue, it is right that we hit the wall. I agree with the management's statement."
