Corendon Alanyaspor defeated Gaziantep FK 3-0 in the 16th week of Trendyol Super League. Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Alanyaspor Coach Sami Uğurlu said, “If we evaluate the match as a whole, I can say that I actually took full control of the game with the beginning of the match. We took too many positions. Especially in the first 20-25 minutes, we caught very serious positions. We played with a lot of contact, a lot of We played aggressively. Of course, it is not easy to spread this tempo over the entire match or 90 minutes. However, I can say that Antep was a little more cooperative in the last 10 minutes of the first half. They also took positions. However, it is not easy to achieve the same aggressiveness, the same tempo and the same toughness after the second half started. Of course, I congratulate my players in this regard. They started the second half very well. We also gave one or two positions to the Gaziantep FK team. In fact, the last 10 minutes of the first half were a little more common. Likewise, even though another 10 minutes of the second half were more common, both players had the ball and had more chances. Alanyaspor was the one who took many positions and played more willingly, more enthusiastically and more fiercely. In return, we doubled the role by placing Richard in the center with the player changes. However, I can say that we actually won more easily by going to the goal with the balls we won and with a livelier Rony Lopez and Hwang. We captured the positions. Here again, Rony Lopez’s assist and Hwang’s goals gave us great relief, both in terms of the score and the game. Yes, the second and third goals came in the last stages of the game. However, as I said, we took too many positions. “We asked for a lot and we are happy to get what we wanted,” he said.
“I THINK WE WILL GET TO THE PLACES WE WANT AND TARGET”
Stating that their goal is to go higher, Uğurlu said, “Of course, I also congratulate the Gaziantep FK team here. They also fought well. 3-4 players were missing. This also needs to be taken into consideration. We need to look at what we can get out of the matches we won. Yes, there is a victory. There was a victory with a good score of 3-0. But of course, there are things that are not negative or that need to be fixed, but that need to be moved up and need to be worked on. We need to analyze and remove them. How can we make it better? However, there are also good things that are done very well. I think Alanyaspor will be in a much better place by doing our analysis and working more to improve these. We are working for this. Every match is difficult. It was the same today. Same thing again last week. Wherever you are, whoever you play with, when you look at the league standings, everyone is very close to each other. The standings are very close. If we had won last week, we would have continued in eighth place today. As I said on the scoreboard, it’s always 1 point each. There are many teams with the same points. In order to get out of there, we need to continue our good football and get a series of wins. When you win 2-3 matches in a row, you can already move yourself up from that lower group. That’s our biggest goal now. To get out of there completely, to get out of there. As I said, we are working for this. Very selfless. My players are the same way. My team is the same way. Everyone is working so hard on this. “I hope that we will reach the places we want and target as soon as possible,” he said.
