After the tiring training session, the head coach Mufit Arın talked to our web site and outlined the team’s target for the upcoming season: “As a double cup winner of the past season, we are aware of the heavy burden on our shoulders. Everyone will come out to beat us, so we need to be strong right from the start. The good thing is that our players have been successfully implementing the training program they have been given during the off season. Because of it, they all look in shape. We are going to make sure that they keep their form in the early going of the season. We are going to continue this physical conditioning until the second week of August. Then, we’ll start to train with the ball.

The Black and Whites are to contest Champions’ League preliminaries between September 4 and 6.
