Fatih Tekke: I have no other motivation

Stating that they dedicated the victory to assistant coach Orhan Kaynak and his family, Tekke said, "I dedicate this victory to Orhan and his family. This win was very valuable and precious for us. Throughout the match, victory seemed closer to us, but Çaykur Rizespor also fought quite well. Despite all the pain experienced, my players showed the desire and will to leave here victorious. This is very valuable to me. I congratulate them all."

"There are no easy matches"

Expressing that there is no change in his goals or statements, Tekke said, "There is no change in my goals or my statements. We are on a good path and we have to continue this path to the end. We see that none of the matches we play are easy. Our job is difficult. Four of our players were on the verge of a yellow card, and we finished the match today without receiving any cards. Thank God there were no injuries, but Batagov's absence will challenge us in our build-up play. I shared this with my players, and we saw it clearly on the pitch today. We have players returning from injury, and we have players who are not fully ready. Even if they played 90 minutes, their condition is not at one hundred percent."

"These types of matches are always difficult"

Stating that the Eyüpspor match they will play on Wednesday will be tough, Tekke said, "We will play against Eyüpspor on Wednesday. They are a team that challenges everyone. These types of matches are always difficult. We also have some things we are going through. We cannot continue our lives without acknowledging them. We are trying to do our best. If we can win the match we will play on Wednesday, it will be good for us. After that, there is a very difficult period on paper. We have to go match by match. We are preparing for every encounter by thinking about what we can do to win. The points scale in the relegation zone is very close. No one is in a position to give anyone an easy match."

"I have no motivation to set another goal"

Emphasizing that there is no deviation from the goal he set at the beginning of the season, Tekke said, "We have been fighting this battle for a year. This is not a new situation. From now on, I have no motivation to set another goal. I said on the day I started that I set a goal between 1 and 4. People might be angry with me, but I think this is very valuable in Trabzonspor's journey this season. Hopefully, Trabzonspor will become a club where the fire has been extinguished and the foundations have been laid. My biggest wish is for my players to be applauded and supported. Our goal is to make these people smile, even if just a little."
