After European Exit, Salah Vows to Keep Fighting for Trophies with Trabzonspor: ‘I Came Here to Win’

Mohamed Salah responded to one of Trabzonspor’s most difficult European nights with a clear message to the club’s supporters, insisting that the Europa League elimination will not change his commitment to the project or the objective he has carried since joining the Turkish side: competing for victories and trophies.
The Egypt captain delivered his message after Trabzonspor suffered a 4-0 defeat against Hungarian side Ferencvaros in Budapest, ending their hopes of reaching the Europa League league phase following defeats in both legs of the tie.
Despite the heavy setback, Salah quickly shifted the focus from elimination to what comes next. He stressed that his career has never been free of disappointment and that difficult moments have repeatedly played a role in driving him toward greater success.
Salah explained that setbacks and difficult nights are part of football rather than the end of the road, and that such moments can become motivation for a stronger response.
The Egyptian star also made his position regarding Trabzonspor clear, reaffirming his full commitment to the club and its sporting project at a time when supporters were dealing with the frustration of an early Europa League exit.
Salah acknowledged the high expectations surrounding both the team and his own presence in the squad, but expressed confidence that Trabzonspor can eventually deliver the level of performance expected from them.
The Egypt captain also underlined that his ambition to come to Trabzonspor and win is more than a slogan, presenting it instead as a target he intends to pursue on the pitch.
Trabzonspor’s European campaign is not over, however, as their Europa League elimination sends them into the UEFA Conference League league phase, where they will have another opportunity to respond on the continental stage.
The Conference League draw handed the Turkish club a varied schedule against Germany’s Freiburg, Serbia’s Red Star Belgrade, Scotland’s Hearts, Bulgaria’s CSKA Sofia, Czech side Jablonec and Finland’s Kuopion Palloseura.
Under the competition format, Trabzonspor will play six matches against six different opponents, with three fixtures at home and three away.
Salah’s message therefore adds another layer of responsibility ahead of the next stage of the season. Rather than allowing the Budapest defeat to define Trabzonspor’s European campaign, the Egyptian captain has turned his attention toward the next challenge, with the Conference League now offering the club a fresh opportunity to recover and compete for continental success.
