Fatih Terim targets the championship at Panathinaikos!

Manager Fatih Terim, who has reached an agreement with the Greek team Panathinaikos, has signed his official contract with his new club.

When asked if he is considering transferring Belhanda and Bakasetas to the Greek team, Terim announced that the Moroccan footballer, who has left Adana Demirspor, will be heading to Qatar. The experienced manager did not comment on Bakasetas.

Here are the statements made by Fatih Terim at the signing ceremony held at the National Gallery in Athens:

"A HIGH-TEMPO STYLE OF PLAY"

"I will try to instill my own philosophy of play as soon as possible. It is a style of play focused on pressure, with a high tempo, where we control the passing and the game itself.

The transfer window opens on January 1st. We are discussing these matters with our sporting director. If there is something we are interested in, it is better for you to hear it from us. We will tell the truth. We are talking, but there is no decision yet. I do not want to make any decisions before seeing my current team because I trust my players. It has been 3 days since I arrived, and who could I possibly not want? That would be very illogical. If we need something, let's not forget that two of our center-backs are injured. If we can develop players from within the team, there will be no need. However, if we need to, we will make transfers."

BELHANDA STATEMENT

"Transfers have no homeland. Belhanda is one of the very important, very great players. But I believe he has made his choice. As far as I know, he is most likely going to Qatar. After I evaluate my own team, I will provide a report; these friends can stay, these can go, I want players for these positions, etc."

"YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE A CHAMPION"

"I came here to challenge myself, to write a story. I have a president who thinks the same way as I do on this matter. To be a champion, you have to think like a champion. Tomorrow evening, we will have a dinner with the president, executives, players, staff, and their families. I believe our team is a big family. That big family is needed for the championship. I also know what Panathinaikos fans are longing for. We will work very hard for this and fix the missing pieces as soon as possible. You will see the change over time. I am much more hopeful after the 3-4 day training period. All the players are very hungry and eager.

I have known the Greek League well for a very long time. I watch them all. In general, the race is between 4 teams, including AEK, PAOK, and Olympiacos. The greatest European success in Greek history belongs to Panathinaikos. We want to return to those days."
