Trabzonspor Club President Ahmet Ağaoğlu, who came to the organization organized by the “Expatriate Youth” fan group in Sütlüce by boat with some managers, started the event by lighting the first torch. Then, colorful images emerged as thousands of fans lit torches on the Golden Horn beach.
Stating that it is important to start the season with 3 in 3 in the Super League, Ağaoğlu emphasized that they want to continue on the road with the same seriousness and become the champion, “I hope this torch will herald the championship. We celebrate it here every year. Every year we start the league with the same enthusiasm and excitement, but I hope this is the case. “Everything will be different next year. It will be this year.” he said.
Making statements to members of the press after the torch event, Ağaoğlu said about the Galatasaray match they will hold in the 4th week of the Super League, “Our goal is big this year. The name of the fight is the championship fight. For him, the Galatasaray match is no different from other matches. We respect all our opponents and their struggle. We are preparing for the match with the same seriousness and sensitivity. The league is a long marathon. It doesn’t make sense to me that we do 3 out of three. A good start is always very important, but how you finish is more important than how you start. There is a 7-8 month marathon. With the same discipline to all matches We must be prepared and not ignore the respect of our opponents.” he said.
Ağaoğlu, after his statements, made mutual cheers with the burgundy-blue fans who participated in the celebrations on the Sütlüce beach.
