The important thing is to play every moment and every second correctly. My players fought very well in front of that audience in Sakarya for 120 minutes. Unfortunately, our average age is unfortunately. High. Despite that, they fought great today. Today we rotated. Actually, we didn’t rotate, we try to play as a team. They played great too. I think we are family again today. Today was a very important day for Eyüpspor. I hope we will be the winning side in Bodrum. “We want to make it to the final. This is what we want,” he said.

I hope our biggest goal is to get to the league, but we are going day by day. Unfortunately, we have a very important exam in Bodrum at 16.00, in the heat. We want to rest first, prepare under the best conditions and eliminate Bodrumspor. We are facing a valuable elder brother İsmet. “I have very valuable brothers and sisters.
