“We are a club that is not afraid to make such decisions. Arda is hungry, young, ambitious and he is the winner, like me, and all our team. They raised the “Eupspor” and in their first season in the Turkish Super League took sixth place, only in one point from qualification to the European Cups. ”
“It was easy to convince him. He did not ask about war or contract. We just talked about football, players and team. The phone call was enough. He said, “I’m ready. This is my chance and I want to take advantage of it. I do not worry: I want to be the highest trainer, and Shakhtar is a huge step for me. ”
“Over the past 25 years, we have not only exported good players, we also had wonderful coaches: Mircha Lucescu, Roberto de Mirby, Luis Kashtra, Paulo Fonseca … And Arda has everything to get better.”
“Arda is Simeone in defense and Louis Enrique in attack [обидва його тренували]. He has a player’s soul, he feels a football player, and it is most difficult to achieve. It also has a wonderful composition. We believe in it and are ready to start a new section with the same ambitions as always: we want to go to the Europa League and become Ukrainian champions again, ”Srna said.
Earlier, Arda Turan told how in a conversation with Srna he discussed the signing of potential newcomers for the team in the summer transfer window.
