The Bulgarian mentor of Stanimir Stoilov, who guides the newcomer to the Turkish elite Goztepe, speaks to media before the start of the season in the Super League, reported FOCUS.

"I would like to thank everyone for last season. We had incredible team unity. There was great support. The engines of our success were the only thing and solidarity. We got over that hurdle with ease. We know it will be difficult now. This is a different level. "I personally don't fear any team," Murray began.

"We - the fans, the club and the coaches, are in great unity. We have a plan and we're following it. Our only goal is to make a team that the fans want to see. We want to be strong from the first game. The transfer window is a long process, every club goes through it, but we have no excuses. We will do everything we can to make our fans proud and win, no matter who our opponent is.

I have dreams. I want to convey this to the footballers and to overcome the difficulties on the pitch.

I know the importance of the fans to our club. We strongly feel their support. We have to do our best to win. We must reciprocate these feelings. We want to see an ambitious and passionate Goztepe. We want to give that to our fans. We want to feel their support in good times and bad. This will give us confidence. We try to do the best with our finances. We brought nationals to the team - Isaac Sole, Kuryu Matsuki, Novatus Miroshi. Nazam Sangare was a national of Turkey.

Last season we had four centre-forwards. Now two of them are in the team. Competition is a must in this regard. We are looking for two more as we are close to signing one player in this position. I need good footballers to compete with Romulo and Kubilai Kanatziskus. My style is to play with some strikers for 60-70 minutes and then introduce fresh players in those positions. We all have confidence in goalkeeper Arda Yozcimen. You will see the progress in it.

I am announcing it for the first time. You may think I'm crazy, but in this new season, Goztepe will surely fight for the European tournaments. We should aim for this as much as possible. I think we should set that high goal. Maybe we have a chance to achieve that in the new season. I don't want to watch my team on vacation while others are playing in Europe. Everything is in our hands. We have young players, but we are a good team," said Stoilov.
