Yüksel Yıldırım: If we get a point against Galatasaray, it would be wonderful

Samsunspor, who could not start the Süper Lig season as they had hoped, gained confidence after beating Konyaspor, ending an 8-match losing streak. President Yüksel Yıldırım said the result eased the pressure on the team and brought a new atmosphere to the club.

Yıldırım said he was pleased with the players' effort against Konyaspor. Stressing that the team will stay in the league, he said this belief must be shown on the pitch.

After the international break, Samsunspor will travel to Galatasaray. Yıldırım said they expect a tough match. Acknowledging that Galatasaray are a strong opponent, he said they will play positive football and want to return from Istanbul with a point. Yıldırım said that taking points would be wonderful.

Yıldırım said that for the rest of the season, the priority is staying in the league, and that they will then aim for the top 10. He said talks are underway with clubs in the 1. Lig for young players who have not been given a chance in the squad, and that some players will be leaving the club.

Speaking about the foreign player quota, Yıldırım said that two or three foreign players need to leave the squad before they can make new signings. He also pointed out that unilaterally terminating contracts could expose clubs to serious sanctions.
