Reis: We Must Keep Our Feet on the Ground, Focus on the Next Match

In the second week of the UEFA Conference League, Trabzonspor beat Hearts 2-0. The Bordo-Mavi side won both of their matches so far, lifting their total to 6 points.

Head coach Thomas Reis congratulated his players after the match. He said they struggled to get into the game during the first 15 to 20 minutes, but then took control of the match. Reis said the win was deserved.

Reis pointed out that the midfield had been completely renewed. Tim started in the starting eleven for the first time in weeks. He explained that the team went ahead from a penalty, scored another goal in the second half, and then created further chances.

Reis said team selection was not easy. He noted that every player wants to wear the shirt and that those who could not play were disappointed. Even so, he stressed that there is a spirit of unity in the squad. He said the focus right now is on the league match to be played on Monday.

Reminding everyone of the European journey they undertook with Samsunspor, Reis said that despite a good start, simple points lost forced them into a play-off. For this reason, he said, they must remain humble and keep working hard.
