Antalyaspor, under the leadership of Nuri Şahin, collected 6 points in the remaining 4 matches and took the 10th place. The young coach made striking statements about Turkish football.
Speaking to beIN Sports, Nuri Şahin; “Being a coach while I was a player could have had an impact on the players. But thanks to them, they welcomed me very sincerely when I came to this position. When a very thin line misses that line, you can go upside down. We decided to part ways with our friends, whom we lost that line even during my short-term coaching.”
In the continuation of the young coach’s statements; “My goal in Antalyaspor is stability. I want stability in terms of coach, football player, management, and establishment. The success that comes with stability will be permanent. There have been many football players with whom we have made transfer negotiations. The players’ first choice is Antalya outside of Istanbul. We meet with world stars. When we show our facilities. They are surprised. Is stability difficult in Turkish football, it is very difficult, but I believe we will be successful if we ensure stability in Antalyaspor.” spoke his words.
Speaking about the coaches he worked with, Şahin said; “I saw that Fatih Terim and Jose Mourinho won the match in the 15 minutes of the half-time break. This is not just motivation. The trophies they won are obvious.” made the statement.
Nuri Şahin is about tactics; “I think tactics are not something that will be on the agenda. Some commentators say that three players cannot be played in Turkey. We started with threes when we came here. The material we have pushed us to this. It is very important to play threes when there are the right players. Our problem in Turkish football is 3′ It’s not a four or a four. We have bigger problems. We should be a little more respectful about being criticized.” said.
