Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah has broken his silence after Trabzonspor suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Ferencvaros and were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League.
The Turkish club lost the play-off tie 5-0 on aggregate after also suffering a 1-0 defeat in the first leg.
Salah, who joined Trabzonspor as a free agent after leaving Liverpool earlier this month, shared a message on his official social media account reaffirming his commitment to the club and its project.
Mohamed Salah Reacts To Trabzonspor&rsquo;s Heavy Defeat
Salah addressed the disappointing result and insisted that the defeat would not change his determination to succeed with Trabzonspor.
&ldquo;Nothing in my career ever came easy. Bad nights and disappointments are part of football, and I have learned to turn them into motivation and into trophies. Trabzonspor is my club, and I am part of this project, body, and soul. Last night will not change that.&rdquo;

Trabzonspor Reject Fatih Tekke&rsquo;s Resignation
Salah&rsquo;s message came after Trabzonspor rejected head coach Fatih Tekke&rsquo;s resignation following the heavy defeat.
Tekke announced his resignation immediately after Thursday&rsquo;s match in Budapest, taking responsibility for the result that ended Trabzonspor&rsquo;s hopes of reaching the Europa League league phase.
However, the club&rsquo;s board rejected his resignation, saying the decision had been made amid the emotional impact of the defeat.
In an official statement, Trabzonspor said:
&ldquo;Our Technical Director, Fatih Tekke, has decided to resign due to the emotional intensity of the defeat experienced after the Ferencvaros match.
&ldquo;As the Trabzonspor Board of Directors, the decision to resign of our Technical Director, Fatih Tekke, has not been accepted.
&ldquo;Fatih Tekke will continue in his position as Technical Director and will lead our team in the Amedspor match that we will play in the league.&rdquo;

Trabzonspor Move To The Conference League
Despite their Europa League exit, Trabzonspor will remain in European competition this season.
The 4-0 defeat to Ferencvaros ended their hopes of reaching the Europa League league phase, with the Turkish club losing the tie 5-0 on aggregate.
Trabzonspor will now continue their European campaign in the UEFA Conference League.
Mohamed Salah&rsquo;s Trabzonspor Project
Salah joined Trabzonspor as a free agent after a nine-year spell at Liverpool, becoming one of the most high-profile additions to the Turkish club&rsquo;s squad.
The 34-year-old made an immediate impact in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring twice in Trabzonspor&rsquo;s 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir on 23 August.
Despite the disappointing European exit, Salah&rsquo;s latest message made clear that his ambition remains unchanged as he looks to help Trabzonspor compete for trophies.
