In the 11th week of Trendyol Super League, Eyüpspor lost 1-0 to Antalyaspor at home. After the match, Eyüpspor Coach Orhan Ak made a statement at the press conference. Stating that they lost a match that they should have definitely won, Ak said, “We are very sorry. Unfortunately, we left here sadly, in a match in which we would have been upset even with a draw. We dominated the match from beginning to end. We had very clear positions. We completely confined the opponent to their own field. But unfortunately, we could not make the last shots. We played one of our best games in recent times. That is why I congratulate the effort and struggle of my players. We will continue to fight. We will get the reward of this game we played in the coming matches and bring our team to the place I want.”
“OUR GAME FORMATS ARE CLEAR”
Regarding the statement made by Antalyaspor Coach Erol Bulut about leaking information to rival teams within the club, Orhan Ak said, “No, such information did not come. We were already guessing more or less. No matter how they play, our game formats are clear. We do not change anything much compared to the opponent. We are a team that tries to play our own game more than the opponent.”
“WE WILL OF COURSE GET IN RETURN”
Stating that they could not score even though they had many goal positions in the first half of the match, Ak said, “Unfortunately, it also depends on the situation you are in. As long as you cannot score, you lose self-confidence, and the resistance of the opponents increases. We need to be stronger mentally. The important thing is to get into position. We already talked about it at half-time. You enter in the first half and cannot score, in the second half you enter and score. If we continue to play the game we want, this will be rewarded.”
