In the second half, we were completely devoid of energy. Losing the game was hard for me. Ending such a match in a draw felt like a defeat for me." he evaluated.
''THERE ARE TWO REASONS''

Secondly, I can say that we couldn't win any duels, both offensively and defensively. Even if you are playing against Kasımpaşa, if you can't win duels, whether the opponent is 10 players or 9 players, you can't win matches. These are very fundamental things. We couldn't reflect the things I mentioned today onto the field, and the result was like this. First, we need to apologize to our fans, and then we need to come out of this situation even stronger."
