Fatih Tekke: Our Priority is the Cup Semi-Final

Trabzonspor head coach Fatih Tekke made evaluations after the 32nd week match of the Trendyol Super League against Göztepe, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Tekke expressed that despite some deficiencies in the team, they have shown a good performance throughout the season. "We came here with these players. We had many absences and players we expected. Despite everything, we have come this far and these kids did a very good job," he said.

Tekke stated that their goal of finishing second in the league continues but their priority is the cup semi-final. "Now there is the Beşiktaş match. There is the cup semi-final rather than the league. Our goal of second place continues. I think our priority is the cup," he said. He also mentioned that they faced difficulties in some positions due to suspended players and have rest plans until the Beşiktaş match.

The head coach said that when evaluating the team's performance, if they were better, they could have finished higher in the league and believed they had a chance for the championship. Trabzonspor will give important battles in both the league and the cup in the remaining matches of the season.
