Manager believes it was a “beautiful” masterstroke to sign Rangers’ former £2 million star.
The Rangers manager, Philippe Clement, has discussed the importance of having a “bigger squad” several times since the beginning of the year.
According to the club’s official website, back in April, he believed that the mid-season additions of Oscar Cortes, Mohamed Diomande, and Fabio Silva had greatly helped the team’s run of 10 victories from 11 Scottish Premiership games, giving the team more “balance” and increasing the competition for a starting spot.
This is the strategy Rangers seem to be sticking with; as of mid-July, there have already been six summer signings at Ibrox. More are anticipated, as Rangers are looking to add players up front, on the left wing, and in central midfield amid new connections with Motherwell’s Theo Bair and Lennon Miller, among others. Clement shares the benefits of having a larger, more balanced squad with Trabzonspor’s head coach.
Borna Barisic and John Lundstram, who joined on free transfers when their contracts with the Gers expired, are now part of Abdullah Avci’s team. He believes that the additional competitiveness that Lundstram and Barisic—especially the latter—will bring to Trabzonspor can only be advantageous.
John Lundstram and Borna Barisic leave the Rangers for Turkey
“We are pleased with Eren’s performance, but since Barisic joined the team, the competition has improved,” Avci says BeIN Sports, using the opportunity to encourage teammate left-back Eren Elmali in the upcoming campaign. Stated differently, it is getting ready.
“This is the camp setting that I have most recently enjoyed.” I’m having a great time at this training camp right now. This group has positive energy.
Competition is lovely. This provides each player a chance to participate and keeps them prepared.
Competition is beneficial. Rotations are significantly easier to make. You can lessen the chance of getting hurt. Maintaining three matches a week is difficult.
In 2018, Barisic moved from NK Osijek to Rangers in a £2 million transfer.
The long-serving left-back’s exit costs Clement’s team some potentially priceless experience, but Rangers now have the youthful enthusiasm of Jefte Vital and Ridvan Yilmaz competing for a left starting position.
After playing a full season of football in Europe, Clement believes Jefte should be able to push for a first-team spot “faster” than players like Clinton Nsiala and Hamza Igamane.
Already thriving at Trabzonspor, Barisic
When asked to describe his early years in Turkey, Barisic replies to Sozcu, “I adapted very quickly.” “Orsic, Visca, and Bardhi have made significant contributions to the process of adaptation. Not just them, but every buddy of mine. Employees within the departments provided assistance.
“Everyone in Trabzon was really helpful from the very beginning. Whether it was a warm welcome, housing aid, or something else.
Barisic’s precise out-wide deliveries helped him establish himself as a vital member of the Glasgow team throughout a six-year period. Those same qualities ought to be useful for Trabzonspor as well.
Defense is, of course, our top priority. However, Barisic notes that in today’s game of football, we are expected to provide assists and goals to the offense. We discussed it with our coach.
