“I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH”
The experienced coach said, “We lost an unexpected defeat. We did not expect to lose with such a score. There was a balanced game in the first half, both teams produced some positions. Fenerbahce’s productions were clearer, but we were behind 1-0 at halftime. We started the second half well. But as time progressed, some of our players experienced tension. Galatasaray looked more confident, and the goal they scored increased this. Again, we could not complete a match with 11 players, this is our 6th match this season. I am the number one responsible for this defeat.”
“THIS MATCH WILL NOT CHANGE OUR THINKING ON THE TRANSFER”
“Before the game, I told my players, ‘Winning today’s game will not make us champions, or losing will not make us champions. This match will not determine the champion.’ There was a four-point lead, but I don’t think it was very decisive because the leadership by 5 points. I think it can be volatile. I want to congratulate our president, the management and the fans for the organization of the stadium. I haven’t seen such an atmosphere for a long time. They are the least guilty in this loss because they did everything to win “We need to continue in the same way we were united before and close these 4 points. It is a balanced league. This match will not change our thinking on transfers.”
“GALATASARAY WAS THE BETTER SIDE”
“Galatasaray won because it was the better side. We made mistakes that we don’t normally make as Fenerbahçe. That made the difference today. I came from behind in my career and won the championship or lost the championship when I was ahead. It’s part of our job. We have to make up for it to get out of this situation. More than ever “We need to be very united. There is no excuse for our defeat. I don’t want to blame anyone, there are no external factors. I am the reason for today’s defeat,” he said.
