"THIS YEAR WE ARE VERY COMPLAINING"

The young coach, who stated that they were not satisfied with the fixture, said, "We played a new match without even 3 days. We are complaining about the match scheduling this year. We started the game well, our motivation was quite good. We played against a good team, and they came to us more rested. I think we were the dominant side in the game. There were moments when we took the lead. I won't say much about the penalties; I think their decisions were harsh," he said.

INJURY EXPLANATION

Speaking about Ismael Jakobs' exit from the game, the successful coach said, "In the first half, there were times with both three and four at the back.
