Mustafa Kaplan, the head coach of MKE Ankaragücü, who bid farewell to the Trendyol 1st League, made statements after the Amedspor match. Kaplan, who was saddened by his team's relegation to the 2nd League, could not hold back his tears during the press conference.
''I WISH WE HAD COME 3-5 WEEKS EARLIER''
Emphasizing that they won all 3 matches since he took over, Kaplan said, "I am very sad. It deeply upset me that our team was relegated for two consecutive seasons. I wish we had come 3-5 weeks earlier. Throughout the match, we reflected our honorable struggle on the field. Ankaragücü knows how to rise from where it fell. In the second half, 16 matches were played before us with 3 victories, while we achieved 3 victories in the last 3 matches. I wish we had one more point in the past. I especially mention the Manisa match. We didn't think Ümraniye would lose at home. Just like in 2019, we were going to write a story today, but unfortunately, we were relegated with a triple average." he stated.
''IF THEY SAY STAY, WE WILL STAY''
Kaplan, who explained that he waited a lot to coach Ankaragücü this season, said, "I didn't go anywhere, I waited. I came and we won all 3 matches. Both financially and morally, the president was also with us. If Ankaragücü says 'stay' next year, we will stay. We know how to rise again just as we fell." he said.
''WE WERE RELEGATED DUE TO PERSONAL CONNECTIONS''
As Mustafa Kaplan left the meeting, he could not hold back his tears, saying, "This team was relegated due to personal connections. Someone is trying to coach the team from here and there, it's a shame. It was the same last year and this year." he evaluated.
