The head coach of Eyüpspor, one of the new teams in the Süper Lig, Arda Turan, evaluated the 2-1 loss against Konyaspor in a statement he made on his social media account. Turan's statement is as follows; "First of all, I congratulate our referee friends. The people of Konya also showed us wonderful hospitality in the stadium. I also congratulate Ali Çamdalı and his team. They fought very well. They played the game correctly in another aspect and won. I wish Konyaspor success in their upcoming matches." "I am proud of my team and my players. We played one of our best games this year. This is the game we want to play. If we delve into the details of the game, we could be more aggressive in the third area, but this is the way we want to possess the ball. If we don't use the final passes early and if we can control the ball more, this is the game I want." "Eyüpspor tries to play its best game in every stadium it goes to, everywhere it goes. Another point is that we are a new team in the league. We played with 9 of our players from last year in the starting 11 today. This shows how much we trust our game and system and that we reflect this on the field. We are still making mistakes in not playing the moments correctly and in not defending some things. We had shared with our players before the match that Konyaspor is effective in set pieces, with a success rate of 70%, and we had taken our precautions regarding this. Sometimes, correct analysis and hard work do not lead to playing the moments correctly. We will gain experience for such situations. The matches against Beşiktaş, Kayseri, and this match are experiences for us. Just as the biggest teams in the world play important matches, we played every moment and every minute of the game in the best way possible." "For this reason, I am proud of my players. Now we have entered the national break. No matter what, no matter how well we play, losses should be the apocalypse for teams. Unfortunately, we will not be able to lift our heads until the Göztepe match, and we will live this sadness to the fullest. To be honest, I want to express that I am very sad about the score we received today. This may be the match I have been the saddest about since I came to Eyüpspor." "We will play against Göztepe, who has often gained superiority over us, plays the game hard, and plays dynamically. I believe we will also be as dynamic. We will allow ourselves to feel this sadness for 15 days. We want to lift our heads and make our fans happy in the Göztepe match. I am happy with the game, but football is a game of scores. We want to be on the field in our best form in the Göztepe match. What we need is our audience. We must be a whole together. If we can play the game we are capable of, I believe we will win the Göztepe match. I especially invite women and children to the match. I hope it will be a beautiful league match without swearing..."
