Reis: Discipline and freedom are the priorities at Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor head coach Reis spoke in his column in the current issue of Trabzonspor Magazine about his satisfaction with working in Turkey. He said he responded positively when he received the offer from the club and that the invitation made him proud. He expressed that he is happy to be in Trabzon now.

Reis acknowledged that there is always high pressure because of the club's big goals, and said that the experienced and quality players in the squad raise expectations. However, he stressed that he enjoys the pressure and wants to help the team with good performances. He described seeing the fans smile at the end of a match as the best thing.

Reis said that, as in Bochum, he regards discipline as a basic principle even in difficult conditions. The coach, who argues that the team should have a framework and rules, said his style is built on discipline and freedom. He said he wants discipline in defense and more freedom in attack.

Reis, whose playing career ended due to an injury, stressed that talent alone is not enough and that a strong mindset is also required. He added that he does not like players showing attitude when substituted, as it sends a negative message to the outside.

Reis, who said he explores the city on his days off, loves the people of Trabzon and is happy to wear club clothing, described Turkey as his second homeland.
