Royal Antwerp Coach Mark van Bommel said he was happy with the score they got against Başakşehir.
In the first match of the UEFA European Conference League Play-Off Tour, Belgium team Royal Antwerp drew 1-1 with Medipol Başakşehir away. Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Royal Antwerp Coach Mark van Bommel said, “We will start the second match 0-0.
An away goal no longer counts. We had to play differently. Because we had injured players. Chances are I’d say 50-50 in two games. We were lucky obviously. It was a nice gold, but we were lucky. It was a tactical match. It was boring to watch but we got a good result. I can say that we did not play defensively. It looked that way, but we didn’t want to play defensively. It was a tough match. I can say that I am happy with the score. We have injured players. We are playing on a good system. “We didn’t want to play defensively, but we wanted to play differently from other games,” he said.
