Account.com Antalyaspor’s coach Sami Uğurlu, who drew 2-2 at home with Fenerbahçe in the 24th week of Trendyol Super League, spoke after the match.
Uğurlu said, “If you asked before the match, everyone would be satisfied with 1 point against the big team. The players who came into the game later are players above the league. We knew we would react before the match. We got 8 points in the last 4 matches, two of them are Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor. This home performance makes us happy.
“WE SCORED AN UNFORTUNATE GOAL”
The game went as we wanted until the 58th minute. We predicted that there would be 3 players. When the ball came to the two side defenders, we wanted to make a transition with intense pressure. We did this very well in the first 60 minutes. Giannetti was injured and we made a forced substitution in the first half. Especially in the second half, fatigue started after the 60th minute. Doğukan played fiercely there, he made the right pressures and made the transitions correctly. He was very tired and felt pain, we took Dario there and pulled Storm aside. We conceded an unfortunate goal after 2-1.
“IF WE COULD THROW IT, WE WOULD HAVE BREAKED IT”
Fenerbahçe and we both have positions. We had a clear position after 2-1, if we could have scored we would have won. Coming here after making it 2-0, we cannot understand right now whether it is 2 points lost or 1 point gained. We will get the results when we reflect the home performance on the road. We are a strong team. My players have a lot of desire to win. Let’s say 1 point received in the Fenerbahçe match. Well done to my players.
“WE WOULD HAVE WIN EASILY IF THERE WERE NO FATIGUES”
As long as the fans are behind us, Antalyaspor will be a strong home team. Points from away games will take us even higher. “If it wasn’t for the fatigue after 60, we would have won easily,” he said.
