Trabzonspor coach on Salah rumors: 'Valuable to be associated with, but focus is on work'

Trabzonspor's head coach, Fatih Tekke, expressed satisfaction with the team's performance during their training camp in Austria. The team secured a 1-0 victory against Italian side Udinese in their third preparation match, with Ernest Muçi scoring the lone goal in the 4th minute.

Tekke described the camp as productive, highlighting that the team completed both the first and second phases without any significant injuries, which he deemed most important. Despite playing on a less-than-ideal pitch and in hot weather, following a long journey, the players effectively executed the team's desired strategies both with and without the ball.

“

The camp's first and second phases went well overall. We completed it without injuries, without serious injuries; that's the most important thing.

Addressing transfer speculation, particularly concerning a potential move for Mohamed Salah, Tekke acknowledged that nothing official has materialized. He stated that the association of a player like Salah with Trabzonspor is "very valuable." However, he stressed the club's philosophy of building trust through hard work rather than generating expectations through discussions.

"There is nothing official regarding Salah. The association of a name like Salah with Trabzonspor is very valuable. But we are trying to gain trust through work instead of creating expectations by talking. There is nothing to discuss on this matter at the moment," Tekke told HT Spor.
