Konyaspor's head coach Çağdaş Atan made statements after the match against Beşiktaş. Stating that the goals they conceded were amateurish, Atan said, "The goals we conceded were indeed amateurish. We shouldn't have conceded either of the two goals. In the first goal, three players collided with each other. The ball remained with the opponent. In the second goal, we were in a secure position up to that point. The match was coming to us."
Konyaspor's head coach Çağdaş Atan made statements after the 2-1 loss to Beşiktaş in the 20th week of the Super League.
'THEY STARTED VERY WELL, VIVIDLY AND ENERGETICALLY'
Evaluating the match, Çağdaş Atan said, "We are sad because we lost. I had mentioned it before the match. If I had to choose an 11 from Beşiktaş, I would have chosen last week's. Sometimes the game is like this. Beşiktaş found the right from the wrong. The 11 from the second half of the Eyüp match came out as we analyzed and expected. They started very well, vividly, and energetically. They put good pressure. We did most things right defensively today. Where we tried to press, they have a lot of energetic players. They have dynamic players. They turn to a 3-1-6. It became difficult to match up one-on-one. In the waiting position, we almost didn't give anything except for Cengiz's header. The goal we scored was a first-class goal. We scored a perfect goal." he said.
'WE CONCEDED A CHILDISH GOAL'
Touching on the goals conceded, the experienced coach said, "The goals we conceded were childish. We shouldn't have conceded both goals. In the first goal, three players collided with each other. The ball remained with the opponent. In the second goal, we were secure until that area. The match was coming to us. We were effective in the penalty area. While the match was coming to us, Orkun scored a very nice goal. Of course, we are sad. The game is good in my opinion. We had deficiencies again today, but there was a Konyaspor that was disciplined, stood well on the field, clearly knew what it was playing, tried its organizations, and scored a goal. We can't win, we need to win. First, we have our cup match. The Göztepe match is like a final. We need to concentrate on these two matches and continue on our path." he expressed.
'CREATING PRESSURE'
Speaking about their nine-match winless streak in the league, the 45-year-old coach said, "The situation of not being able to win creates pressure. Even if we want our players to act comfortably, and direct them to play focused on what we have worked on without entering chaos, in the Kayserispor match, it would have been 3-0 or 4-0 in the first half of the Eyüpspor match. Is the game good? Yes, it is good. We are improving. We need to carry it to the score. It has been a long series, we are aware of that. That's why the Göztepe match is very important." he stated.
