Çorum FK Technical Director Uğur Uçar said after the Bodrum FK defeat, 'Referees need to be much more careful. We had a clear penalty that hit the opponent's hand, but it wasn't given. They need to be a bit more careful because they are playing with a city's destiny.'
Çorum FK lost 1-0 away to Bodrum FK in the first leg of the Trendyol 1st League play-off semi-final.
''WE COULDN'T GET THE RESULT WE WANTED''
Çorum FK Head Coach Uğur Uçar, in his assessment at the press conference after the match, said, "As we were heading to the dressing room before the second half, we discussed what we needed to do right. We started the second half very well; we had more possession of the ball and began to push the game into the opponent's half with the changes we made. But unfortunately, we couldn't get the result we wanted."
''THE REFEREES ARE PLAYING WITH A CITY'S DESTINY''
Continuing his remarks, the young coach criticized the refereeing, saying, "We couldn't play the game as we wanted, especially in the first half. In the second half, we were the side that dominated the ball more and tried to create chances, but we couldn't capitalize on those opportunities. I particularly want to point this out; just as we had started the second half well, a foul is called on a push from behind by the opponent, and we end up conceding a goal from that set piece. The referees need to be much more careful. We had a clear penalty when the ball hit the opponent's hand, but it wasn't given. Unfortunately, this has been the case since the start of the season, even after we took charge. We score a goal, but the offside line isn't drawn. They need to be a bit more careful because they are playing with a city's destiny. However, we still have another match ahead; we haven't given up yet. We will prepare in the best way possible and be the ones to advance past the round."
