In the 16th week of Trendyol Super League, Bodrum FK defeated Sivasspor 2-0 at home. Volkan Demirel made statements at the press conference held after the match. Demirel stated that he was very happy and said, “There was a team that deserved to win or needed to win today. We got the reward of our work. When we look at it, I can divide the match into three. Up to 20 minutes of the first half, the next 25 minutes and the last second half. The first 20 minutes were a little bit of that goal-conceding game.” The feeling of insecurity pushed the team. We made a lot of turnovers, but after the 20th minute, Manaj and Koita’s returns were weak, and when they kept the ball in the second area, they started to pass and started to take positions with side crosses. But we made very simple turnovers. With the change we made at the beginning of the second half, we tried to return to a game that could keep the game in the second zone and direct it, which is why we scored the goals. I am very happy that we were able to convey this, and I am very happy about the joy of the group inside, because there is a team that truly believes and tries to do what we say. That’s why I congratulate everyone,” he said.
“PENALTY WAS VERY CLEAR”
Saying that the penalty position was very clear, Demirel said, “The penalty was very clear, everyone saw it, but of course it is looked at a little longer in VAR. All the details are looked at, from before to after. But it needs to be a little shorter because there is a screen there, we see what is what.” “Of course, it may take a little longer because the referees look at all the screens, but the time needs to be shortened. But we have to respect them today, with or without a penalty,” he said.
“HOPE WE WILL BRING PLAYERS WHO WILL BE SUITABLE HERE”
Expressing that they are on the right track as a team, Demirel gave the following answer to the question asked about the rumors that a player will be transferred from Fenerbahçe during the half-time:
“We are working on transfers, not just as Fenerbahçe. I work the same way with my team. Because there is a very nice environment, from our facilities to our stadium to my fellow players. I want to bring players suitable for this environment and group of players. I hope we can bring suitable players here. We will get stronger and create the Bodrumspor we want together. We still have time, we are researching. I don’t want to talk about something that hasn’t happened yet, but we are looking. Hopefully, there are players that everyone can see and feel. “We’ll bring it.”
