Samsunspor's head coach Thorsten Fink made statements following the 3-2 loss to Fenerbahçe in the Super League.
'I AM PROUD OF MY TEAM'
Evaluating the match, Thorsten Fink said, "Honestly, we were good as a team. I am proud of the performance, I am proud of my team. Our team plan worked very well from the first minute. Maybe our possession rate could have been better. We have been here for 3 weeks. We are working on all our deficiencies."
"THE LAST GOAL COULD HAVE BEEN OFFSIDE"
Referring to Fenerbahçe's last goal, Fink stated, "Fenerbahçe is 5 times higher than us in terms of squad value. Looking at today's match, there wasn't such a value difference between the two teams. Maybe there was an offside in the last goal. The Fenerbahçe player restricted our goalkeeper's movement area. It could have been offside."
'I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE SUCH A RISK'
Continuing his remarks, the German coach said, "I substituted two of my players at the end of the first half; they had yellow cards, and I didn't want to take such a risk. We had some opportunities in the second half, if you can't capitalize on those, a team like Fenerbahçe can score. We lost the match. We need to work very hard."
