In the 23rd week of Trendyol Super League, İstanbulspor drew 1-1 with Samsunspor at home. At the post-match press conference, Osman Zeki Korkmaz, who said two days ago that the loss of President Ecmel Faik Sarıalioğlu’s father was a painful loss for the family, started his speech by expressing his condolences. Evaluating the match, Korkmaz said, “We wanted to give a little consolation with the fight we put in and the victory we would get, in order to boost morale. We actually think that we implemented this well with our strategy on the field. We were the more strategically dominant side in the game. We captured large areas.
We could not use these large areas very effectively, perhaps due to the weather conditions and the ground becoming heavy. The heavier ground actually had an effect on the goal we conceded. Let’s say good health. Our primary goal is to build a gaming culture. We are trying to get results that will give us morale in the short term, and to create a gaming culture in the long term. When making player changes, you can look at the profiles of players from a rival team and the profiles of our players. İzzet Topatar played in a match at this level for the first time today. This is our mission. İstanbulspor is like a fertile land. As the player donates, he creates new products. “I can say that we have started to build the Istanbulspor of the future by adapting these new products to our own game culture,” he said.
