Reis: There is unity in the team, our focus is Monday's match

Trabzonspor beat Hearts 2-0 in matchday 3 of the UEFA Conference League league phase. The Bordo-Mavi side won both of their European matches so far.

Speaking after the match, head coach Thomas Reis said his side struggled to get into the game during the first 15-20 minutes. Reis said they then took control of the match and deserved the win.

Reis said they lined up with a completely new midfield. Reminding that Tim started in the starting eleven for the first time in weeks, the experienced coach said it is not easy to go into a match with a new midfield. He said they went ahead from a penalty, added another goal in the second half to keep control, and then created further chances.

Noting that squad selection was difficult, Reis said all the players wanted to play, that those who could not play were disappointed, but that a sense of unity remained in the team. Citing the European campaign with Samsunspor as an example, Reis recalled that despite a good start, they had to play the play-off because of simple points lost. Reis said they must stay humble, and added that their focus is the league match on Monday.
