“WE LOST 2 VERY VALUABLE POINTS”

I congratulate Antalyaspor. We lost 2 very valuable points. We have tough matches ahead of us. We are not on top of our game, we are leaving with our heads held high, but we need to do better quality work.” he said.
ABOUT REFEREE DECISIONS
Explaining that he did not watch the penalty positions and therefore could not say anything about the referee’s decisions, Tekke said, “But I am not happy with the ambience in general. The reason is this. The game stopped a lot, especially in the goal kicks. In case of any foul, the team that wants to stop the game stops the game. The referee makes the hour mark, but it is not very realistic. I am not talking about this match only. There was such discomfort in this match.” made his assessment.
Evaluating the goal they conceded and the penalty they missed as the most negative moments of the match, Tekke said, “We cannot describe the game like this for 90 minutes. Especially our talented players need to come to the fore a little more. If we had scored the penalty, the opponent would have been a little more relaxed and we would have been able to find easier positions. There is a problem of not being able to produce or producing less in the front zone.” he said.
Stating that they did not play Muçi in his natural position today, Tekke noted that the new transfer Umut Nayir did his best.
“WE HAVE NO SITUATION TO BE AFFECTED”
A journalist asked, “Could transfer rumors be affecting the players?” “We have no situation to be affected by. These players are very valuable players. They are wanted players. Our players have been watched and wanted for a while. We are in a system where statistics are kept for every match and every player in the world. Could the transfer of our players be on the agenda or sometimes absurd news confuse them? I do not see such a possibility. Desire is a problem at a high level, we can only say that there is a little more self-confidence. This is up to us.” he replied.
“WE COULD HAVE WIN VERY EASILY”
Explaining that the team has a certain potential, Tekke said, “This potential was also revealed in today’s match. We could have easily won 3 points in this match. If we had scored the penalty. Matches are not easy. There is a psychological side to this. I do not think we have problems psychologically. Fundamentally, the problems seem very clear. The same things today.” he commented.
ABOUT THE ATTACK ON THE TEAM BUS
In response to the journalists’ question about the team bus being stoned before the match, he said: “A child threw it. It is not a big deal. There is no need to confront people with such things. The child was on the overpass.” he said.
