Fabri’s statements:

“I am very happy to have come to this club.”

I am very happy to have come to a club with such great fans and history. Playing in Europe was one of my career goals. I can’t wait to step up on that field.”

“I can’t wait to play in front of our fans.”

“I have never been to the Vodafone Arena, but I know that our fans are the best in the world and produce a lot of sound during a game. I can’t wait to play in front of our fans.”

“The people here are so nice.”

“This is my first time in Istanbul. It’s a great city. Many possibilities are present here. The people here are so nice and they are very kind to me.”

“The fans’ greatness show the club’s greatness.”

About the fans and the famous chant ‘Kartal Gol Gol Gol’, Fabri said the following: “Once you got that feeling, it is irreplaceable. It is so impressive and unbelievable. The fan’s greatness show the club’s greatness.”

“We will work very hard.”

“I hope we redo the achievemtents of last year and go as far as we can in the Champions League. I can assure the fans that we will work very hard.”

“It will give you goosebumps.”

“Your fans are your 12th player. Even watching from the field, it will give you goosebumps.”

“I am a complete goalkeeper.”

“I am a complete goalkeeper. I got no extraordinaty qualities. Some goalkeepers are very good with their feet or with other abilities. All my abilities are on a reasonable level. I got information from Sambade. This league is different compared to the Spanish league. Air balls are very important. Beşiktaş is a big club and plays with a high line. Balls put behind defences are very important as well.”

“My condition is at a very high level.”

“I have been playing as a goalkeeper for years now. I am used to being alone on the field. Whenever I get the chance, I will do the best I can. My condition is at a very high level.”

“It’s important to play with such players.”

“I know some players from the team. Mario, Quaresma, Sosa are players well-known around the world. It’s important to play with such players. You can learn a lot from them. It shows Beşiktaş’s greatness, that players like these are willing to play for this club.”

“I love number 13.”

“I love number 13. However, I have been told that the number is not present right now. I will look for another number to wear.”

“I am in love with the game.”

“I am in love with the game. Physically, I am 100% ready. I am sure I will show that every training to our coaching staff and our players. I will show our fans that they will see a fit goalkeeper in the weekends.

“I believe that I will play, whenever I am ready.”

“Our coach is the one to decide. We have got Tolga, Boyko and me. It is going to be a hard choice. However, I believe that I will play, whenever I am ready.”

“I will have some private classes.”

“I have learned some Turkish words already. I will have some private classes.”

“It was hard to leave Deportivo.”

“My childhood was in Deportivo. They were like a family to me. I got special memories from the place. It was hard to leave Deportivo. It is hard to gain people’s trust and love. I want to achieve that here too. Behind getting that, lies a lot of work and determination. I want to have the feeling that I had for Deportivo too for Beşiktaş.”

“I listened to my heart.”

“My family have respected my decision. I listened to my heart. If I am happy, they are happy.”

“They will take me to the greater goals.”

“First of all, I have got small goals set for myself. They will take me to the greater goals. My first goal is to gain the respect of my teammates and the trust of the technical staff. Work needs to be done for that.”

“I will do whatever I can.”

“I will do whatever I can. I want to thank the fans with my performances for all the confidence they have in me.”

“Various feelings.”

Responding to the question about how his first training at the club went: “Various feelings. However, my teammates and the club’s workers were very kind to me. The facilities are very nice. We have got high-standard facilities.”

“We will show the fans enjoyable matches in the Champions League.”

“I would like to thank this club for its trust in me. I will do all I can to redo what has been done the past year. We will show the fans enjoyable matches in the Champions League.”
