Hello Birsu. As a football player born in Kütahya Dumlupınar in 2005, how did you become interested in football and how did your development process continue?
I was interested in football at a young age, but I was always involved in different sports branches. Because at that time there was no women's football team in Kütahya, it had just arrived here, it had been 2 years. Hopefully we will enter our 3rd year.
Can you tell us about the development of women's football on the basis of schools and clubs in Dumlupınar and other regions of Kütahya?
The lack of women's football development in Kütahya and the fact that the girls here were not discovered and formed a team until these years caused the football talented girls in Kütahya to always play in other cities. Women's football has been developing in Kütahya for 2-3 years.
How many women's football teams are there in Kütahya and how are your relations with them in terms of friendly matches and other activities?
We are the only women's football team in Kütahya. As 1922 Dumlupınar, we always played friendly matches with other cities.
You are the 1922 Dumlupınar player. What position do you play there and what are your features that make you stand out for this position?
I am in this team as an offensive player. My characteristics are my technique and speed.
Can you tell us a little about the atmosphere of the club, from the management to the coaches and players, what are your goals?
We are truly like a family in this team. The attitude of our teachers and management towards us is very good. They see us as their daughters, they love and value us. We show them the value of that value on the field. Our goal is to get to the 2nd league. We want this more this year and we are working hard for it. Hopefully this year will be a good season for us.
As team captain, what responsibilities do you have before and during the match?
Before the match, I warn everyone to concentrate on the match. I explain to them what we need to do in the match and warn them not to fight, fight or object to the referee. I motivate all of them when I go to the match. I emphasize that they do the best they can.
How do you improve yourself and stay up to date in football?
I train every day and work hard with my teacher to compensate for my shortcomings. I watch a lot of matches and I improve. I see that I am improving more and more every year.
What are your characteristics that emerge during stress and pressure during the match?
Generally, during matches, my qualities such as being able to cope with stress and maintain my calmness emerge.
Who are the football players you take as an example?
There are football players I take as examples: Ronaldo, Mbappe and Vinicius.
Which teams do you aim to play for and how are you preparing for this?
Of course, I want to play in Super League teams and for this I train hard and work hard every day. I'm trying to prepare myself both mentally and physically.
What advice would you give to young girls who are interested in football?
My advice to little girls is that if they have a talent, they should follow it and work hard. Women's football will become a very big community over time, so I want them to work hard and reach good places.
