Ergin Keleş: “I hope it will be a good and enjoyable match”
Experienced striker Ergin Keleş said, “I played many matches against Galatasaray in my career. I collected sweet memories. Not really, because I usually play against Galatasaray in Anatolian clubs, I always left the field defeated. I hope it will be a nice and enjoyable match in the draw. Most importantly, my young players, who will have the chance to play on the field for us, get a taste of those stadiums, those rivals, that atmosphere, and that taste will whip them to do better than today. I want this very much for them, for them to at least see those leagues, those stadiums, those rivals and play against them. I think this situation can be a source of motivation for them, at least, and I hope so.”
