“It’s of the most difficult teams in my point of view. Trabzonspor is the fourth team in the last season of Turkish league and fought for the title until the end with first three teams. So it is enough about their quality.” said head coach Václav Jílek.
Trabzonspor is a six-time Turkish league champion. They won the highest competition in the 2010/11 season for the last time. They added eight victories in the Turkish Cup.
Last season Trabzonspor finished fourth. This league season in Turkey starts on 18th August. Filip Novák, Czech national team defender, or former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel are part of Trabzonspor.
“It's probably the hardest possible opponent. But if we want to play the Europa League, we have to beat everyone. We will do everything for it,” says Matěj Hanousek before the double-match with Turkish team.
