Having lost 1-0 away to Beşiktaş in the Spor Toto Super League, Altay’s coach Serkan Özbalta spoke at the end of the match.
Özbalta said, “We came here to play. Maybe it’s been a short time, but we’ve been working hard. Maybe it’s not a long time to become a system, but I believe we’ve accomplished some things. It’s a defeat that upsets our morale, but we have to stand up. We know that our job is not easy, but until May, it’s not easy. “We have to continue the fight. Today we showed resistance. One episode did not turn out the way I wanted. Beşiktaş could have scored the second goal in that section. They showed that enthusiasm. Sometimes we were effective, we had positions in the last section as well. If we had kicked one of them, we would have returned with morale.”
Asked about the penalty position in the last moments of the match, the young coach said, “I did not see the position in the last minute clearly. The position did not excite me in terms of clarity. He said that my team and players could be given, but I have not watched it yet. We should not burden our referees too much, a decision has been made. Maybe we were hurt, It was a clear penalty, but a decision has been made now. But that feeling did not occur in me, it was closed for us,” he said.
