Back with a new Interview from Christopher Bergmann at Istanbul F.K.
Interviewer: After last weeks interview, in which you pointed out how much the team believed in themselfs and their coach. Istanbul F.K. managed to take down both, the at that point undefeated Stockholm IK, and Sydney City, 5:2 and 4:1 respectively. Netting there first 6 points of the season after a disappointing streak of 4 defeates to start the season. How does it feel?
Christopher Bergmann: It feels great, getting the first points of the season, in such a dominant way against a good opponent was a huge boost to our confidence. Right now we are really looking forward to our next game. We would like to continue this form.
Interviewer: Your next game is against Port Royal F.C., right now they are sitting one point behind you in the standings. This game will show who of the two can keep up with the upper half and who fights in the trenches. The game also marks the halfway point of the season. How important do you think this game is?
Christopher Bergmann: As you pointed out, its a 6 point game for us. We want to go out there tomorrow and win. But we have to keep in mind, that there is still a lot of football to be played this season. Nonetheless we will fight tooth and nail tomorrow and take home 3 points.
Interviewer: While you pointed it out yourself, there is still a lot of games left this season, surely you are looking towards the draft, right?
Christopher Bergmann: Yes indeed. With the draft class being on the larger side, scouts are currently working overtime to assess all players that will be available.
Interviewer: Did you have any contact with some teams yet?
Christopher Bergmann: I have talked to some scouts. We shared good conversations, talked about what needs their teams are looking to fill.
Interviewer: So, who have you talked to?
Christopher Bergmann: Right now I prefer not to reveal who I have had talks with. Maybe you can ask me that question again, once we get closer to the draft or afterwards. All I can say is, I am on the radar of some, time will tell where I will land. For now the focus is on Istanbul F.K., we want to play the best season we can and for that we all, me included, need to be focused on our games 100% of the time.
Interviewer: As much as we would all love to hear where you might be landing, I can understand your hesitation to tell so early on in the season. Last question, a couple of days ago, a new teammate joined Istanbul F.K., Snowy. How is it going so far with him?
Christopher Bergmann: He is the much needed presence in the locker room goalkeeper department we were looking for. Of course, with him just joining and being new, we will need to see how he develops but we are all happy to have him on board.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time and best of luck.
Christopher Bergmann: Thank you very much. Always a pleasure.
