In the 7th week of the Trendyol Super League, Kocaelispor, who lost 3-1 to Beşiktaş, stated that they were defeated due to individual mistakes, according to head coach Selçuk İnan.
'IF YOU MAKE SUCH MISTAKES, THE MATCH WILL BE HARD' Speaking at the press conference held after the match, İnan said, "It was a tough match for me and my players. We prepared for the match with the stress of not being able to win. Although I tried to relax my players, it is not very easy. They wanted to win the match very much. Beşiktaş away is a tough away match. They have very important players. We immediately paid the price for starting the match so tense. My players are very upset. We fell behind 2-0 in the first 10 minutes due to two individual mistakes. If you make such mistakes in an away match like this, the game will be hard. My players showed an incredible reaction. In the second half, they completely dominated the match. We struggled a lot to find the equalizer at 2-2 and created chances. You can only get this many chances against Beşiktaş. We had deficiencies in converting the positions into clear chances. We also scored the last goal into our own net. In such an away match, you scored all the goals and lost 3-1. It was a match that a coach may not experience many times in their career." he stated.
'I MADE SUCH MISTAKES' İnan expressed that the high motivation of his players was a disadvantage, saying, "Sometimes when you are too motivated, you can start the match so tense. My players were very eager. They made us feel like they would win the match in all the training sessions, but it didn't happen. I also made such mistakes in my football career." he stated.
'I REALLY LOVE TURKISH REFEREES' In response to a question about referees, Selçuk İnan said, "I really love Turkish referees, I trust them a lot. I definitely do not want a foreign referee."
