Eyüpspor's head coach Arda Turan evaluated the Rizespor match and spoke about the upcoming match against Galatasaray, which will be held on the weekend in the Super League.
Regarding the Rizespor match, Arda Turan said, "I am honestly very sad that we lost the match. You should not lose a match played like this in a tough away game like Rizespor. Although we were far from productive in the first half, we had possession of the ball and directed the game as we wanted, playing the right game. We played the first half magnificently from start to finish. We could have played one-on-ones better, made better half-space runs, and increased our shooting opportunities. In the second half, Çaykur Rizespor increased their physical contact with player substitutions. At times, when we were distant from contact, we gave away set-piece opportunities. Easy fouls carried our opponent into our half. To intervene in these moments, we brought Halil and Emre into the game and sent Melih to right back. With these moves, we reached the desired level of contact again. While we were directing the game well again, we fell behind with an unfortunate set-piece goal. We tried to use all the moves we had to turn the game around. The fact that Umut Bozok was our only forward limited our options for changing formations. The only thing I can say is that I am proud of all our players for the position they have brought us to and the effort they have put in. We will continue on our path without looking at what anyone says." he said.
''WE WILL TRY TO BEAT GALATASARAY''
Turan, who stated that they want to win the match against Galatasaray next week, said, "Next week we will face one of the strongest teams in the league, Galatasaray. They have a magnificent coach and play a wonderful game; they have virtually dominated the league. Our respect for Galatasaray is immense. Playing against the place where I grew up is emotionally difficult, but these are the beauties of the game. We will do our best for the goals of Eyüpspor. It will be a very tough battle on Sunday, but we will be at our best. We will try to show beautiful football to people and win. A beautiful day awaits us on Sunday, a day that adorns our dreams. We are expecting women, children, and young people at the match. I hope we can show beautiful football for the future of Turkish football." he expressed.
