Some quotes from Acun regarding Shota and Liam -
THE FOOTBALL I AM LOOKING FOR IS THE FOOTBALL THAT FENERBAHÇE IS PLAYING RIGHT NOW”
Describing the separation process of Shota Arveladze, Acun Ilıcalı said, “Shota was very successful in Hull City last year. This year we had only one difference of opinion. Our football mind transferred technical players. The teacher also thought more defensively about this. This was also a difference of opinion. Success will not come if we are not all on the same side. The football I'm looking for in Hull City is the football Fenerbahce plays right now. The players we brought came to play this football.”
“MIND STATED IN EMRE BELÖZOĞLU!”
Underlining that Emre Belözoğlu would like to see him as a coach in Hull City, Acun Ilıcalı said, “I met with two of the most important coaches in the world. My mind has always stayed with our Emre Belözoğlu. I always had an Emre Belözoğlu in my mind. Emre's concentration on football, new generation and offensive football… It always impressed me. I found Liam Rosenior, English Emre Belözoğlu. He is an incredibly equipped man.”
Talking about the difficulty of the Championship, Acun Ilıcalı said, “Championship is the hardest league in the world. Each match has 3 possibilities. I do not claim that we will get to the Premier League immediately, but I see a very high probability of success. We have high hopes for Liam Rosenior. This year will be our year of adjustment. We will be more ambitious next year,” he said.
