Bülent Uygun recited the Shahada at the press conference.

Sivasspor's head coach Bülent Uygun made statements after the 2-1 victory against Çaykur Rizespor, despite being 1-0 down. Uygun drew attention with his unique words and style during the press conference.

"WE PREVENTED THE OPPONENT FROM TAKING MEASURES AGAINST US"

Sivasspor's head coach Bülent Uygun stated, "We were well aware of the opponent's situation during the game. They had made good transfers. And during this process, especially in the middle of the week, we closed our training to the media. It is already a bit difficult to get there. You also say it yourself, we are struggling a lot, coach. We had closed it. We did this to prevent the opponent from taking measures against us without announcing the injuries of Manaj and Pritchard. On Monday, we will open our training at the university to our university students. As of now, we are in 5th place. We dedicate our victories to our fans," he said.

"ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE OPPONENT"

Criticizing the referee's performance, Uygun said, "We are going through tough times. The referee of the match used all of his discretion in favor of the opponent. In previous matches, especially in the matches we lost, the opponent elbowed us right in the face. No one said anything. He gave all his discretion to the opponent. Nothing happened. Unfortunately, for some reason, when it comes to Sivasspor, the agenda always goes in favor of the opponents. Today, at one point, when the doctor of Rizespor entered the field, I thought he would probably arrive by evening. Thankfully, they were leading 1-0, so he arrived by evening. When we took the lead, ours couldn't go either," he said.

PLAYERS DISCOURAGED HIM FROM RESIGNING

Uygun, who stated that he considered resigning after the match, said, "We dedicate our nights and days to a team. Coaches are criticized by everyone. In the end, it is a way of life. Everyone has a family. There is love. Normally, I would have resigned today. The players, our loved ones, certain people said, 'No, we absolutely do not accept it.' Therefore, I gave up. We are in an environment where we fight for the development of Sivasspor and Sivas. We are fighting for it everywhere, on every platform. There comes a time when people look at us differently because of our clothing, our gaze, and even because we say Bismillah,"

ENDED THE MEETING WITH A PRAYER

Bülent Uygun, who frequently makes headlines with his unique expressions, gestures, and style during press conferences and statements, stated that he decided not to resign after the match against Çaykur Rizespor and ended the meeting by reciting a prayer and the Amentu. Uygun's words at the end of the meeting were as follows;

"Then let me say this: I believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and in destiny, both good and bad, from Allah the Exalted; and the resurrection after death is true. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Have a good week, brother Hacı."
