Kasımpaşa Coach Emre Belözoğlu: "We will have to give up a player like Diabate, who came into the game today and contributed a lot to the team."
Speaking at the press conference held after the match played at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, Belözoğlu criticized the federation's foreign rule.
Belözoğlu, who started his speech by congratulating 30 August Victory Day, said, "I commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades in arms. May they rest in peace." he said.
Emphasizing that they will have to say goodbye to the 2 foreign players in the squad even though they do not want to, Emre Belözoğlu said:
"Neither the club nor the players want this situation to be like this, but this rule forces us very much. We need to relax this rule a little. Today, İlkay Gündoğan plays in Galatasaray as a Turkish player, I have Kerem Demirbay play as a foreigner. We have to make compulsory moves. We will have to give up a player like Diabate, who entered the game today and contributed a lot to the team. The club has invested in young players, we cannot give up on them. Today, a player with a Turkish passport is playing in the Kosovo National Team, Can't he choose the Bosnia and Herzegovina National Team? How can those who manage these clubs and the federation not come to unity? Why can't a player like Shomurodov play as a Turkish player when they choose these countries? Aren't those who made this decision aware that they have built a process that makes them so lazy? "He plays with İlkay as a Turk. The dates were given as before and after 2015. Both of their fathers are Turkish and their mother is Turkish. I don't think that's right."
Evaluating the match, Belözoğlu underlined that they continued their confident game.
Stating that the club has decided to continue with young, goal-oriented and visionary players, Belözoğlu said, "It is a very good experience for me, too. I work with younger, cleaner souls and cleaner auras. I wish I could have built the beginning of my coaching career with young players. They implement what we show very well. Today, in the first half, we were on the field with a formation that we did not want, but had to. Our energy in the second half deserved appreciation. We played against very tough opponents in 3 matches. "I thank my players for their performance." he said.
Başakşehir Coach Nuri Şahin: "It was a big disappointment for us"
Speaking at the press conference held after the match played at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, Nuri Şahin stated that they started the match very well.
Stating that his team played the best football they have played in a long time in the first half, Şahin said, "Whatever we talked about, whatever we worked on, we reflected on the field. The only thing missing was the second goal. We said at halftime that the opponent would return to four players in the second half. But it was like black and white. It was a big disappointment for us. We lost 2 unnecessary points. This result did not suit this game in the first half." he said.
Underlining that they need to be more effective in attack and score more goals, Şahin said, "I liked the game in the first half very much. Although we played poorly in the second half, we missed 2-3 clear positions. The bigger problem is that we are returning to the game we played when we first came here. Sometimes we play the first half very well. Today, we made the opponent join the game in the second half." he said.
Referring to the match they will play against Galatasaray in the 4th week of the league, Şahin said:
"First of all, we need to finish today's match in our minds. We have a lot to talk about this match. We have a plan in our minds. We are going out on the field to win against everyone. We are very disappointed with today's result, but we will be on the field for 3 points on Friday."
