Jonjo Shelvey's comments on Galatasaray! 'We want to win'

Çaykur Rizespor midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, whose team will host Galatasaray on Saturday, October 28, in the 10th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, said, "We want to put the disappointment we experienced in Kayseri behind us and win the Galatasaray match."

The English footballer told members of the press at the Mehmet Cengiz Facilities that Galatasaray is a very strong team composed of good players.

"I HOPE GALATASARAY IS TIRED"

Stating that Galatasaray put on a very effective performance against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, Shelvey said, "I hope Galatasaray is a bit tired from that match. We are continuing our preparations at a normal pace. We want to put the disappointment we experienced in Kayseri behind us and win the Galatasaray match."

Emphasizing that he is working to get better with every match, Shelvey stated, "I am trying to respond to our coach's demands and adapt to the team. I enjoy every day here. In the coming period, I want to satisfy our fans and those who watch me even more."

Noting that they need to be very good against Galatasaray, the 31-year-old player assessed, "It is more important than anything for us to direct the game as a team and act together. I don't think about scoring goals too much within the team. Things that will benefit the team are much more valuable than me scoring."

"I WILL LEARN A LOT"

In an interview with some media outlets in England, Jonjo Shelvey explained head coach İlhan Palut's understanding of the game and said the following:

"I have a very good communication with my coach. In the statement I made in England, I said that he is very similar to the coaches I worked with at Newcastle. His passion for the game and his love for his job. He is definitely a coach who loves football very much. You can see this clearly. I think I will learn a lot from him. I really enjoy working with him. I believe that very good days await us in the future."

Pointing out that teams in England and Turkey have very different characteristics, the experienced footballer said, "Teams in Turkey are evenly matched. I think I can contribute more when I build the game from the back. There will also be positions where I will join the high press, just like in England. We can start this with the Galatasaray match."
