Bjelica: We Trust the Players We Have

Samsunspor head coach Nenad Bjelica shared his team's preparations for their Sunday away match at Başakşehir, in Week 10 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, with the press at the Nuri Asan Facilities. Bjelica stressed that the team urgently needs points and said their top priority is to take three points from Istanbul.

Bjelica said the players in the squad can easily adapt to different systems and that the team can play with 2 or 3 different formations. He said the current system suits this group of players better and noted that a clear shape will emerge once the team gets out of the danger zone. He added that he is open to changes in the system.

Bjelica said he has been in the job for about 2.5 weeks and had only two days of training with the team before the Kasımpaşa match. He noted that they did the right things in the Amedspor match but left with a defeat from a game they expected to win.

Saying he trusts his players 100 percent, Bjelica said he does not agree with the view that the team lacks creativity in the final third. He stressed that Afonso, Elliot, Oscar and Sekongo are effective on the wings and in the attacking areas. The coach said they have been working on attacking and defensive variations and hope to see the results of that work in Sunday's match.
