Istanbulspor Coach Osman Zeki Korkmaz: We need to know the value of this league



In the 3rd week of Spor Toto Super League, Istanbulspor lost 4-0 against Konyaspor at home. Speaking at the press conference held after the struggle, Istanbulspor Technical Director Osman Zeki Korkmaz said, “We were the two teams that could not win, in Konyaspor. Konyaspor is a team that had historical successes last year, this year they could not start as they wanted. They had the tension. We could not score a goal in the Super League. , we couldn’t score. It was like a breakout match for both teams. The team that remained loyal to both their emotions and tactical strategy would be more dominant. We should have been able to return to the game in these breaking moments. We could have entered the game 2-1 in the first half, we lost 2-0. Both in the set game and on the ball. We had extensive preparations in Konyaspor, regardless of the score. I’m telling you, it was perhaps the most difficult match for Konyaspor. We made many attacking options. We couldn’t get the ball in. We couldn’t score the easiest goals in football and conceded the best goals. This does not overshadow the success of Konyaspor. I’m actually trying to make a difference here. When we got to the Super League 2 months ago, our exit process is like a documentary. There was a great effort and organization. Frankly, I say this to everyone. We need to know the value of this league. We need to realize where we are. I worked as a half coach in the Super League for 6 seasons. I know very well what the Super League is. Two months ago, in my speech on the championship night, we said that we would meet with the management within 48 hours and tell them how to prepare for the Super League. That meeting was held. Since that meeting, we have made all our preparations as the technical committee and the players. I hope you see that on the field as well. If the factors that determine the result in the Super League are not certain, you cannot get results,” he said.

When asked about the transfer, Korkmaz said, “Last year, it was my first professional coaching career. Before I started as a coach, I used to take notes on what I should do and what I should not do. The biggest thing I don’t want to do is to complain. I reported two months ago. Everything was there. The league has started. My job is to prepare for the matches. It’s not the transfer. I can’t do the transfer. I don’t like to talk about it either. Due to the structure of the club, there are certain numbers that can be paid over a player. When we look at that range, I don’t like many players. As for the other part, there are club conditions. Knowing this “I am here too. We will continue to work patiently. The thing I am most angry about is that I don’t want to bring the players who can’t play there in Europe or Africa, who can’t take time but who came to a place with certain parameters, to strange numbers. We knew what the Super League was, so I hope everyone learned.” spoke.
