Recalling that he played his first match against Samsunspor, Sivasspor Coach Ömer Erdoğan said, “We would like to leave with a victory. We started the match with 2 days of training. We want to show a much better Sivasspor by working well.”
Sivasspor hosted Samsunspor in the 17th week of the Trendyol Super League and left the field with a 0-0 draw. Coach Ömer Erdoğan answered questions at the press conference held after the match.
Erdoğan, who started his speech by evaluating the match, said, “Today is our first match, we would like to leave with a victory. We started the match with 2 days of training. We worked in 2 days of training, we showed the opponent to our players with analysis for 2 days. We played well for most of the match. In the second area, we were late from time to time in the intensity of pressure. In some parts of the match, it looked like Samsun had the ball. Samsunspor is truly one of the best teams in this league. They especially retreated to the 2nd zone and fought with a crowded defense. We asked our players to create space in return. It is easier to work on the defensive part. I thank all our players. We had Sivasspor defending correctly today. When I looked at the TV after the match, there was one clear position. We didn’t give any positions. Now there is a league break, then we have BAY week. This season will be like a medicine for us. Unfortunately, we have low numbers as a team, so we need to make transfers. Hopefully, we want to work well these days and make Sivasspor watch a much better game. Our fans supported the team incredibly from the first minute to the last minute. I hope we can fill the stands numerically. “I also thank the fans,” he said.
