Antalyaspor's head coach Sami Uğurlu made statements after the 2-2 draw against Fenerbahçe in the 24th week of the Super League.
''IF YOU ASKED BEFORE THE MATCH, EVERYONE WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH 1 POINT''
Evaluating the match, Sami Uğurlu said, ''If you asked before the match, everyone would be satisfied with 1 point against a big team. The players who came into the game later are above the league level. We knew we would react before the match. We have taken 8 points at home in the last 4 matches, two of them against Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor. This home performance makes us happy." he said.
''WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW''
Continuing his words, Sami Uğurlu stated, "The game went as we wanted until the 58th minute. We anticipated they could come out with three at the back. When the ball came to the two wide center-backs, we wanted to transition with intense pressure. We did this very well in the first 60 minutes. Giannetti got injured, and we had to make a forced substitution in the first half. Especially in the second half, after the 60th minute, fatigue started to set in. Doğukan played intensely there, he applied the pressures correctly, and made the transitions correctly. He got very tired and felt pain, so we brought Dario in and took Storm out. After going 2-1 up, we conceded an unfortunate goal. Both Fenerbahçe and we had our chances. After going 2-1 up, we had a clear chance; if we could have scored, we would have broken away. After going to 2-0, we can't understand whether the 2 points lost here or the 1 point gained." he expressed.
''IF WE HADN'T BEEN TIRED, WE WOULD HAVE WON EASILY''
Uğurlu expressed that they could have won the match comfortably if his team hadn't been tired, saying, "When we reflect the home performance to away games, we will get the results. We are a strong team. My players have a great desire to win. Let's say the 1 point taken from the Fenerbahçe match. Kudos to my players. As long as the fans are behind us, Antalyaspor becomes a strong team at home. Points taken from away games will take us even higher. If there hadn't been fatigue after the 60th minute, we would have won comfortably." he stated.
