Shakhtar Donetsk, coached by Arda Turan, lost 2-1 to Legia Warsaw in the second week of the UEFA Conference League, conceding a goal in the 90+4th minute. Arda Turan made statements regarding this match.
''THEY NEED TO LEARN''
Speaking about the match, Arda Turan said, "First of all, I want to congratulate Legia. If a team beats you, they probably did things better than you. We tried to stick to our game plan, but at the beginning of the match, our competitive style and concentration level were not sufficient. I am proud of the level of play in the second half because we had young players aged 18-19 in attack. It was a team that shapes our future. They played wonderfully, but they need to learn to act correctly in critical moments. We will work on this and improve."
''WE WILL BE A TEAM THAT EUROPE TALKS ABOUT''
Arda Turan stated that he takes full responsibility and outlined the roadmap for the future, saying, "As for the defeat, I take full responsibility, but at the same time, it was a defeat that we can compensate for in the future. We are optimistic about the future, so we will continue to prepare for and focus on the big match on Sunday. This team will become a team that all of Europe talks about. My players and I will achieve this."
