Unfair result in the first half:

“The team played well in the first half. Samet also played well after the mistake. We were better in the first half. In any case, 1-0 was not a fair result and 2-0 was like a stab in the chest.”

 

A good first half:

“We started the match very well, our opponents had difficulties. Then we made a mistake and the situation changed. After that, we continued to play well in the first half. Suddenly, they made it 2-0 with a shot and things got difficult. We made changes, but after the sending off the match was over for us.”

 

Whistles in the stadium:

“I don’t think it was because Samet (Akaydin) made that mistake that there was such a strong reaction in the first half. These reactions are sad, but I don’t criticise the fans’ reaction. They are the basis of everything. I don’t criticise their reaction, but Samet didn’t make the mistake, the team made a mistake."

 

The dressing room is upset:

“The fans are upset, but not more than us. The fans can have feelings, but we are professionals. We can be sad, but we have to stay calm.”
