Thomas Reis on Aral and Franculino

Trabzonspor will host Freiburg in the third week of the UEFA Conference League. At the press conference held before the match, head coach Thomas Reis and player Ozan Tufan made statements.

Reis said Franculino and Aral will not be with the team until the international break. He said they would assess their situation after that. He said several players were injured, that he was unhappy about this but there was nothing to be done. Reis said one injury would be an opportunity for other players and stated that he had 3-4 attacking players available.

Speaking about their opponent, Reis said Freiburg is a team that presses high and applies an active press. He reminded that Freiburg's head coach Julian Schuster has been in charge for two or three years and said the match would be difficult. He added that he knows the German school of football well.

Ozan Tufan said the team has been on a good run since Thomas Reis arrived. Tufan said he wants to return to the national team and that he has not yet been in contact with Coach Sergen, but he has expectations. Trabzonspor aims to win with the support of its fans.
