Ozan Tufan's national team message: We set the alarm for Friday

Trabzonspor player Ozan Tufan spoke to the media alongside head coach Thomas Reis ahead of the Conference League match against Freiburg. Tufan said he wants to wear the national team shirt again and voiced his expectations for Friday. Stating that playing for the national team is every footballer's dream, Tufan said, "I want to return to the national team. We haven't had any communication with Sergen Hoca, but I have hopes. God willing, I will get that shirt again." The player, who used the phrase "We have set the alarm for Friday," expressed his expectations on the matter this way.

Tufan, who said the team has gained great momentum since Thomas Reis took over, noted that the work of the assistant coaches in preparation and analysis has also played an important part in this process. The player, saying they are seeing the rewards of the intense and tempo-filled program, added that players helping each other is reflected in results. Stressing his commitment to Trabzonspor, Tufan expressed his loyalty to the club.

The player said they prepared well for the Freiburg match and stated that having injured players in the squad does not stand in the way of their goals to win. Tufan said, "We want to give our fans a good victory tomorrow."

Correction (04.11.2026): The main event of the report is accurate; however, the phrase "tired players" and the laughter detail could not be verified, so they should be removed from the text, and the phrase "Sergen Hoca" should be corrected since the sources list it as Sergen Yalçın..
