In the 11th week of Trendyol Super League, Antalyaspor defeated Eyüpspor 1-0 away. After the match, Antalyaspor Coach Erol Bulut made remarkable statements at the press conference. Bulut started his speech by saying that it was a difficult match for them and said, “It was very important for us to win and get a point or points. We had to continue our way by winning this match with the good morale we got after the cup match we played during the week. In the first half, the opponent was in a position to score 2-3 goals. We could not start as we wanted, we were a little nervous. When you cannot win a match for a long time, your self-confidence goes away. We regained it a little in the second half. We scored the second goal, it was judged offside. The team showed character. They showed team spirit. Together “They showed us how we should defend our goal. If you do some things right together, you can get a point or points.” made his assessment.
“INFORMATION WAS LEAKED TO EYÜPSPOR”
Claiming that a person in charge of the club leaked information to rival teams, Bulut said, “It is a problem that started last week, we can talk about this issue more easily after the win. I would have said the same thing if we had not gotten a point. Unfortunately, before the Başakşehir match last week, someone within the club transferred all the information to the opposing team. He transferred it to coach Nuri. We followed it. Unfortunately, it happened before the match. All our tactics, how we will play against the ball, what we will do in attack… This information went to the Eyüpspor coach. He told us that “The information has come. Actually, I want to speak harshly, but it would be wrong. I will specifically follow up on who he is, to reveal who he is. I wanted to say this here, so that such things do not happen to other teams. You are already watching the opponent’s match as your own knowledge. For me, these are characterless. We will find that person as soon as possible. he said.
“PLAYERS LOST FAITH”
Stating that longing for victory for a long time affects the team negatively, Bulut said, “He loses faith in himself, he loses faith in his teammate. He gets nervous when the ball comes to his feet. There were 2 matches lost with me, matches before me. There are shortcomings in the team, I do not want to express them. We are trying to pull the team to a higher level physically. Football is a physical game. If you are not at a good level physically, it is difficult for you in the league. I think our business will go more easily after improving the physical condition of the team to the higher levels. I can lie, but the players’ data is kept. “We follow in training and matches and we can see some things from there. Whatever the result, I was going to express these. Only technical and tactical situations are not enough in football. If you are not in good physical condition, you will have problems in every league,” he said.
