At the press conference held after the match, Eroğlu stated that they wanted to gift the fans a victory, but they could not achieve this.
Stating that the goal they conceded in the last moments of the first half affected the course of the match, Eroğlu said, “If we could have stayed calmer and controlled the game after the goal we scored in the first half, we could have been more successful. We could have completed the first half without conceding the goal in the last half. That goal affected us negatively and the opponent positively. It was a goal we should not have conceded, we had to finish the match there.” he said.
Stating that he warned his players at halftime, Eroğlu continued as follows:
“In the conversation we had with our players inside, we said ‘Let’s increase the energy, we need to increase the enthusiasm’. But we couldn’t get into the game at the beginning of the second half. We started the second half badly. We also saw the goal in our goal. My players did not try to pass the time in the first half, where we were ahead, and the match was not played in the second half. The game constantly stops, the players constantly lie on the ground… Unfortunately, this is the way football is in our country. I do not mean this as an excuse. Both goals were due to individual mistakes. we ate We lost, we are sorry. “We had to play better, especially in the second half.”
Expressing that they need to compensate for this loss, Eroğlu said, “Our series has been broken. We must start a new series. We will go away, we will prepare well. Just as this team has not lost in four weeks, it can do the same from now on.” he said.
Asked about how the change of president and the extraordinary general assembly decision affected the team, Eroğlu said, “We are field-oriented. We went last week and won away. That is the management’s decision. We are trying to stay on the field. In my conversations with my players, I say, ‘Our job is on the field. If we are successful on the field, it will be much more valuable.'” he replied.
Hüseyin Eroğlu, on the question of when Henry Onyekuru will be fully ready, said, “We cannot give time. He is already over his injury. We put him in the game when we needed a goal, in the minutes we needed it. A little bit of the game turned into long balls. If we could play the part where we had the ball more calmly, we would get a positive performance from him. Every player will contribute to us. I cannot give him time.” he said.
Regarding the referee management, Eroğlu said, “He could have managed it better. He is an experienced referee. Just as football players sometimes are not on their day, I think coach Halil (Umut Meler) is also not on his day.” made his assessment.
