In the 24th week of the Super League, Fenerbahçe lost 1-0 to Başakşehir at home. After the match, Ismail Kartal, the coach of the yellow-dark blue team, made a statement.
Here are İsmail Kartal’s explanations:
We started well in the first half. Everything was going as we planned. The first half was like a tactical match. We knew how Başakşehir would play. We took Ozan because Irfan had a problem in the second half. The goal we conceded hit the opponent. We were not productive.
According to Başakşehir itself, there has been a game culture for years. Against such a team, we really took control in the first half and gained the upper hand against the opponent. One part they played, another part we played. The second half fell into their hands.
We made moves on time. We just haven’t been very productive. The opponent didn’t have too many positions either. We couldn’t produce much in the second half, we lost 1-0. We are sad. We apologize to our fans.
