At the press conference held after the match, Groenendijk congratulated Trabzonspor and said, “It was an exciting match for both teams, we are leaving with our heads held high. Because we played good football. After mutual opportunities, it was the opponent who took the tour.” he said.
Expressing that they also had opportunities to pass the tour, Groenendijk said:
“It must be admitted that they also had positions, there were balls returning from the post 3 times. 1 goal we would have scored while we were behind 1-0 could have had a very different result, we could not achieve this. We were defeated by 2-0. If we criticize ourselves, if we look in the mirror, we look at the opponent who played a very good pass. We conceded two goals with two very simple turnovers. They won’t quit after this time. We wish Trabzonspor success in the championship race.”
