National footballer Ozan Kabak, who played for Hoffenheim, one of the teams in the German First Football League (Bundesliga), made statements about the team’s qualification for the Euro Cup, the goals at Hoffenheim and his life in Germany. .

Ozan Kabak, who will spend his fourth year in the Bundesliga, said that hosting EURO 2024 in Germany has already motivated him, saying: “I will spend my fourth year in Germany. I know all the fields and cities well, I have very close friends. For me, of course, that EURO 2024 being hosted by Germany is an additional motivation, it would be great to play the finals in Germany. Germany is a football country, it has amazing stadiums and fans. I can’t wait for him. I hope we finish the group in the best way and take place in Germany. We got 9 points with 3 wins in 4 games we played in the qualifying group. We have 4 more games ahead of us. We will get the best points from these games and we will leave. We are in a good position in the group at the moment.”

“I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOUR NAME IN MY GUIDE”

Ozan Kabak said that his time in Liverpool was also very special for him and that he made friends with big names.

“Salah is a great professional, but also a very good person. Before and after each workout, he always does his work in the gym, in the gym. He is like a machine. It was an excellent experience for me to sweat on the same pitch with him. Playing against him in training improves you as a defender, he contributes a lot. This was very important to me. Looking back, it still makes me happy to see Salah’s name in my phone book. We are always in contact. When something happens, we congratulate on Instagram or by phone. I am happy to have such a person in my life.”

“JOY TO ALL”

Ozan, who played for a short time in the matches played by the National Team A against Latvia and Wales, said: “The national team is a place where every player would like to be. I’m very proud to be there too. Of course, there is great competition. It’s been a year away from the number of matches and lengths I’ve individually targeted. I reached the last camp of the national team playing 33-34 games. As a soccer player, you always want to play. You arrive at the selection with an expectation. Of course, we are happy when the team wins. The important thing is to win the team and participate in tournaments. Hopefully we will participate in the next tournament, Germany,” he said.

Stating that his dialogues with the national team coach Stefan Kuntz are good, the national footballer said: “Stefan has a strong dialogue and is an understanding person. He jokes with everyone. He also gets along with us. I can communicate more easily because I speak German. My expectation is that there must always be transparency and criteria between the coach and the player of the national team about playing and not playing. I’m on good terms with Stefan,” he said.

“I AM HAPPY TO SEE A TEAM LIKE GALATASARAY”

Noting that he follows the Super League closely, Ozan Kabak said: “There were very high-quality teachers and players in the Super League this year. My teammates at Hoffenheim were always following me and also asking questions. This year, it was more followed and attracted more interest from abroad. It was a very good league. The championship race continued until the very last moment. Great players, played stars. I am also happy for the Galatasaray championship. Okan Hodja and Erden’s brother made a very good team. The players also fought in a manner befitting Galatasaray and won the championship. I was very happy as always. I called, congratulated everyone. Galatasaray must always play in this quality and have players of this quality. As a Galatasaray fan, I am happy to see such a team,” he said.

Ozan, “Who was the name that came up in Galatasaray this year, according to you?” He replied: “Icardi, of course. He scored some great goals. Turkish players are not to be overlooked either. Kerem, Barış, Yunus, Abdülkerim have always made a great contribution. There is much more interest in foreigners in our country, but the quality of the national players should not be overlooked. Icardi, Mertens, Nelsson all performed very well, but the Turkish players also have a great effort here. I think this is ignored in our country. I wanted to open a separate parenthesis for this as well.” he gave the answer. (AA)
