Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Belözoğlu said, “There is nothing much to talk about. I thought the game in the Fenerbahçe match would have a positive impact on us. We tried to motivate the players. I am in great sadness. I also see those who are sad among the players. Our team will now play the moments when the bell rings. I will continue to work as much as I can. The difference between the game four days ago and today’s game is not acceptable. Rize perhaps played the easiest match in the league this season. It did not suit us. I apologize to those who set their hearts on Kasımpaşa.” he said.
Referring to the fans calling for him to resign, Belözoğlu said, “I understand the fans. I know what I have to do, but I don’t think today is that day. I see that there are matches ahead of us that we can win. It could be a radical decision during the week. I think the player group will realize the seriousness of this. It seems that we need to tighten things up a little more.” made his assessment.
