Türkiye left the field with an important result by drawing 2-2 with Spain in the last match of the World Cup European Qualification group stage. After the match, our National Team’s goalkeeper Altay Bayındır made a statement evaluating the match. Here are Altay Bayındır’s words…
“WE COULD HAVE GONE TO OUR COUNTRY HAPPIER”
“We were very close to winning, but we were sad about the draw. We could have gone to our country happier. Spain is also a good team. We also have quality players. It was a good match for our country and for us. We are happy, I hope it continues like this. We are Turkey and we will fight until the end.”
“IF YOU ARE HERE, YOU HAVE QUALITY”
“Many names did not play, but those who played did their best. If you are here, you have quality. You have to show your quality on the field. Everyone here has the same value and everyone must be ready. Even if you fall down mentally, even if they try to bring you down, continue until the end.
I constantly thought about the match and my self-confidence was high. I needed a match like this. I’m happy for myself and my team. We didn’t win, so there’s no point in getting too excited. We have a long way to go, we need to make our country happy. People need this so much.”
“IF I DON’T PLAY, I WILL SUPPORT THOSE WHO PLAY”
“Mert, brother, is our elder. Uğurcan, Muhammet… Everyone is quality. It doesn’t matter who plays, you are serving the team. We should not get into things like why he played, why that one played. No matter who played, I continued to work. I supported the other players. If my coach gives me the chance, I will play, if not, I support the one who plays. This is my nature.”
