Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım announced their target to play in the top 5 of Süper Lig. He blamed the bad end of last season on referee errors. "We are aiming to finish in the top 5 of Süper Lig this season," Yıldırım said. "We were unable to go to Europe due to referee errors in the last season." Yıldırım also expressed his optimism for the upcoming season due to the changes in FIFA rules. "I am optimistic because FIFA has changed the rules. Now, goalkeepers will not be able to waste time, they will have to put the ball into play quickly, and in penalty kicks, if they do not score within 5 seconds, the ball will change sides. VAR control will also be introduced for yellow cards. We used to get a lot of red cards from yellow cards, and we could not do anything unjustly. Now, these things will hopefully be corrected. The new rules will make the game more beautiful and increase the time the ball is in play." Samsunspor will continue with the German style of play, Yıldırım said. "We will present the player to our coach, and if he says 'okay', we will negotiate the transfer, otherwise we will not buy him. Now, Fenerbahçe's coach is not here, but the two presidential candidates have already agreed on the players. Tomorrow, the coach will come, and if the player does not fit into the system, what will he do? We need 5-6 transfers for Samsunspor, and we want to complete them by July 6. Because our first camp will start in Samsun on July 6. Then, we will go to Holland in mid-July for our second camp and to play friendly matches. Our target is to play in the top 5 of Turkey this season and to win the Turkish Cup. Samsunspor is now one of the candidates for the top 5 in Turkey." Yıldırım also wished success to the national team in the World Cup. "I have written to A National Team Coach Vincenzo Montella, wishing success to the entire team. Hopefully, the national team will make us happy again, and we will be happy with the national team after 24 years."
