00:00What is the most difficult time for this team?

00:06Well, nothing is easy for this team, we know it's beyond that we've been champions in the last three seasons

00:13but we always want to be a competitive team, we want to fight

00:18all competitions, be it in the league, be it in the Copa, Europa League or Champions

00:23and we know that this year is going to be a very important year because we are entering the Champions

00:27that is important now is to prepare ourselves, we also have lost important players

00:33from a lot of experience like Nando, like Edris, like Keren also

00:39that are not easy to replace but we are a young group, a group that works

00:46that we also have to integrate with new players and we know that this year

00:51will not be easy, because the other teams are also buying good players

00:57so that well, like every year, prepare ourselves for the best and put

01:03above all Galatasaray on top of all.

01:05I have also had the opportunity to play with great players, with a lot of experience in England, in Italy, in Spain

01:15but well, it's about to say that Nando is a person that has helped me a lot in this last time

01:22not only as a player, but as a teammate, as a coach, as a coach, for the moment being my father

01:27also because during the season we have to know that there are going to be difficult moments

01:33where things will come out as one wants and that's when the teammate was always

01:37to give you a word of support or a hug and Nando was more than a captain for us

01:46he was a person with a lot of experience, a person very close to everything

01:51always positive and as I said earlier, we are going to miss him

01:55we are going to miss him, unfortunately he will not be with us

01:58but well, we are always in contact and today

02:02we are from other parts of the world playing football

02:05but well, I always wish him the best and I will always be grateful for me

02:10to come to this club

02:12What do you say about our country?

02:14that come and know, that come and explore

02:18it's very easy for me to say how beautiful it is

02:20but you have to come and really know

02:23I always say that when Nando called me

02:27I was afraid of coming here because I didn't know the country

02:30and I didn't know the league

02:31but now it's 4 years that I am here

02:33I am enamored of this country

02:35I am enamored of all the cities

02:38of the people, of their food

02:41of the way the Turkish loves their country

02:45and that one makes you feel very calm

02:49my family every time I come here

02:50I enjoy a lot of it

02:51and when I have the opportunity

02:52I come to come to all my friends

02:54also so that they know and live

02:56and have the experience of Turkey

02:58I am really delighted
