İstanbulspor lost 2-0 to Beşiktaş at home in the 27th week of the Trendyol Super League. Yellow-blacks coach Osman Zeki Korkmaz made a statement.
Speaking at the press conference held after the match played at Esenyurt Necmi Kadıoğlu Stadium, Korkmaz stated that they faced all the scenarios they had prepared throughout the week in the match.
Emphasizing that some players made changes in their positions and that they wanted to make good use of Beşiktaş’s pressure problem, Korkmaz said, “At these moments, we had to get out of the first zone quickly while having the ball. We planned to attack with at least 5 players in the transitions. Mendy, Sambissa and Ali Yaşar’s overlaps were important. We had some moments. But we had a finishing problem in the third zone. Sambisa’s crosses in the first 30 minutes did not hit the target, we conceded too many counters in these moments. We suffered the physical and mental toll of this. From time to time, Beşiktaş took control of the game. I think they dominated the game, especially in the first half. “The team that used the moments better was İstanbulspor. The problem was the choice errors in penalty area runs and final passes. After 2-0, it was an exciting game again, but now the game was out of control.” made the statement.
Korkmaz added that he took office 6 weeks ago and said goodbye to some things in terms of motivation after taking office, and said:
“We won the Kayserispor match, 5 or 6 players in the 11 of that match went to other teams. I wish it would be like a fairy tale and we would stay in the Super League. But we will come back anyway. Our main focus is to continue competing with a balanced budget and without debt. Super League The current debt of the teams in the league is 1 billion 250 million euros. İstanbulspor has no debt. Our president just called and said that he will distribute a certain bonus to my football friends for their characterful games. We want to achieve something else other than relegation or staying. We “We can say that we are very happy. We are playing good football, we are happy on the field.”
