The first Turkish legionary in Veres Eren Aidin commented on the transition to the Rivne Club from Galatasaray, and also shared his thoughts about his goals and spoke about Arda Turan.

“When I was a baby, I always went to the match with my father. I had a love for football. I also played football in the yard as a kid. I started playing football in Cartallspora. There was then Galataasarai.

The most remembered what I was trusted. Thanks to the coach who really believed in me. I think it was one of the most important factors of my progress in Galatasarai. Another unforgettable moment is the minutes I spent with the first team. For example, in the match against Azalik. I just want to get even better now. Of course, competition in Turkey is very high. There were many very talented players. Such as Arda Guler, Kenan Gildiz, Ahmetjan Kaplan, Emin Bahram.

It is very difficult to play in Galatasarai. It is incredibly difficult because the club buys top players for big money. No matter how much you work, it is still very difficult.

Arda Turan is a well -known name in Turkey and even world football? In my opinion, in terms of career development, Arda Turan is the best player in the history of Turkish football. He invited us to Lviv and we were able to spend time together. He told how strong the Ukrainian league is, how difficult it is and how much you need to work. He also emphasized the importance of minimizing the ball loss. I believe that the arrival of Arda Turan here is very important for Ukrainian football. He is a great name and, I think, it will add even more value to the Ukrainian League.

For me, the position on the field is not of great importance. I am ready to play where the coach will put. Of course, every player has his or her favorite position, which feels best. For me, this is the role of a mobile attacker – a lot moving. But what the coach will say – I will do it. Personally, it is not of great importance.

This is my first experience of playing outside Turkey. Of course, it is a little difficult, but the team has a very warm atmosphere. I was accepted extremely well. Honestly, I had no serious problems. And I think I am quickly adapting. What surprised me is that in Turkey, drivers rarely stop before the pedestrian crossing, and here I just step on the zebra – all the cars stop immediately. Also, the city is very beautiful, calm, has a pleasant atmosphere, people respect each other. It was very pleasant to me.

If we talk about the difference between Turkey and local football, the workouts are incredibly intense. I noticed this in the first match. There are many martial arts on the field, a lot of physical struggle. Honestly, it will be difficult for me. Only a week from the start of workouts, but I already feel how difficult it is. The workout is very difficult, a lot of work on physics. But I believe that I can overcome it. Turkish football is more focused on liabilities and tactics. And here are more physics, speed and mentality. In my opinion, these are the main differences, “-the Idin’s words suggests the club’s press service.

After five rounds, Heather scored six points and ranked tenth in UPL. Oleg Shandruk’s team will play her next match against the Earth – the game will be held tomorrow, September 20.
