We are all professional players. Our job is to work, plug our ears and do our job. Sometimes things do not go as you want. I also said. “We are talking inside, too. We became a good team.

“OUR MANAGERS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CONTRACT”
Altay Bayındır answered a question about his contract, which will expire in June 2023, as follows:
“Such issues are not the issues of football players. We have managers who are interested in these issues. They are in discussion. We are in a critical period, we have a busy schedule. We are focused on our work. We will see what happens in the coming days.”
Regarding the banner opened for him in the stands, Altay Bayındır said, “A nice banner was opened for support purposes. I went at the end of the match and offered my thanks. When we see positive support, we are also positively motivated.”
“YOU CANNOT BE A CHAMPION WITH A WIN”
Noting that the league is a long marathon, Bayındır said, “A win does not become a champion. A loss does not lead to a championship either. It is important to focus on every match as if it were a final match. Our teacher prepares us accordingly. We will continue to try to win the next match.”
“YOU SAVE, YOU RESCUE, A MISTAKE HAS HAPPENED, THEN YOU HAVE FAILURE”
Stating that the goalkeeper position is a position that needs to be focused on, Altay Bayındır said, “Goalkeeping is like this. You save, you save, there will be a mistake and then there will be trouble. I play in a position that is very focused. Such things can happen. Success comes. After a match that ends positively or negatively, we need to continue positive because some people may have fragile sides, even if they try to stay strong. We are human too. I hope we continue on our way in this way,” he concluded.
