Samsunspor Seek a Turnaround With Konyaspor Match in Süper Lig

Samsunspor held a press conference at the Nuri Asan Facilities. Çakır drew attention to the importance of the Konyaspor match to be played at their home ground on Saturday, 7 October, and said the team's current position does not befit the club and that they do not deserve to be there. Stating that they are determined to win the match, Çakır said they hope this victory will be the start of a turnaround.

Çakır recalled that head coach Nenad Bjelica took charge three weeks ago and said the team has not won during that period. Noting that a tactical change was made last week, Çakır announced that a different tactic will also be used against Konyaspor. He said the mentality of winning and not winning has had an effect on the team and that he believes this match will help them overcome that situation.

Agreeing with criticism that the squad is inadequate, Çakır said the squad is young and that they have built a three-year project. He added that the team will reach a certain level as the players gain experience. Saying that transfers will definitely be made during the mid-season break, Çakır said their goal is to collect the highest possible number of points before the break and to pull the team out of its current situation with the planned transfers.

It was reported that Emre Kılınç, who has recovered, has started training with the team, while Celil Yüksel and Fatih Kaya, whose injuries continue, will not be able to play in the TÜMOSAN Konyaspor match.
