In the 29th week of the Trendyol Super League, Hesap.com Antalyaspor, which lost 4-2 to Beşiktaş, stated that their coach Sami Uğurlu said their opponents deserved the victory.
''ORKUN PLAYED VERY WELL''
Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Uğurlu said, "Orkun played very well, he was very effective. He was impactful in every touch he made and in the runs he made behind the defense. We wanted to exploit Beşiktaş's defensive weaknesses and we scored 2 goals. If you score 2 goals away from home, you need to get points. Beşiktaş was the team that deserved the victory from start to finish. They are a team with many productive players. When you make too many mistakes, the opponent benefits from it." he said.
''YOUR QUALITY IS NOT ENOUGH IN SUCH MATCHES''
Uğurlu, who stated that he believes they will stay in the league, continued his words as follows:
"When we arrived, no transfers were made during the break. I generally think we have done good work. I believe we are a team with high fighting spirit. We need to make fewer mistakes. We are not in a position to replace 2-3 players who play poorly. It was a very difficult away game. We came to get points, but sometimes in such matches, your quality is not enough. We have 5 matches left. The points in the relegation zone are very close to each other. The fact that we will play 3 of these matches at home is an advantage."
''THE SUPPORT OF THE FANS IS INCREDIBLE''
Uğurlu, who noted that there is a significant difference in player quality between them and Beşiktaş, said, "Beşiktaş is one of the biggest clubs in Turkey. The support of the fans is incredible. They have an extra player like Orkun. The transfers made during the break are some of the quality players in this league." he stated.
