“There are absolutely no advantages and disadvantages of Play-Off matches”
Sakaryaspor Technical Director Taner Taşkın said, “We closed the league, I think it was a good season. 62 points and the guys really struggled exceptionally. They did a great job with the current squad, but now we will open a separate page for the Play-Offs. We want to fill this page well. We will have a preparation period next week, we calculate that the first leg of the matches will start on Friday. Of course, every match will be very difficult, of course, passing the first round and being a single match makes it even more difficult. Actually, we will see whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage to play in our own field. There are definitely no advantages and disadvantages. Teams that are well prepared, well-motivated and mentally ready for the Play-Off take this job. Of course, we also need a squad size, we want to use the existing squad to the maximum. We don’t have a very large squad. but there are 15-16 really very ready players and we believe that we will do good things together with them. May our fans fill the stadium in the first match of the Play-Off, God willing. With them, we become much stronger. Fans are everything to us. We really become a very different team together with them. Let them be with us and support us for ninety minutes. I hope we will not make them black,” he said.
