Worst Season Start in History from Göztepe

Göztepe, which started the season with the aim of participating in the European cups, had 3 defeats and 2 draws after 5 matches and fell to the 18th place as of the 5th week. Konyaspor, which could not experience the joy of victory with Göztepe at the beginning of the 5th week, made the breakthrough by beating its strong rival Trabzonspor 1-0 at home. Göztepe, on the other hand, continued to upset its fans as the only team that could not yet enjoy 3 points.

Goztepe took the lead with Rhaldney's goal in the 28th minute of the match and finished the first half victorious. Although Corendon Alanyaspor equalized with Fernandes in the 63rd minute, Juan shook the net with a penalty in the 73rd minute. However, Göztepe could not prevent Makouta's goal 2 minutes later. Göztepe, who came back with a draw away from Alanya, increased its points to 2. Göztepe, which had the worst start in recent years, could not defend its goal again. The yellow-reds were the team with the worst defensive performance, conceding 13 goals in total.

STANIMIR STOILOV: WE MUST IMPROVE DEFENSIVELY

Göztepe Coach Stanimir Stoilov, after the Alanyaspor match, said, "I think we fought well as a team against Alanyaspor and played a good match. It was a difficult fight for both teams. However, our problem of giving the opponent an easy goal opportunity continues now. It was important that we scored 2 goals on the road. We should have won with these two goals, but we conceded 2 goals that we should not have conceded. We need to improve our defensive performance."

'INJURIES WILL NOT RETURN'

Announcing that the injured defenders Sonko Sundberg and Allan Godoi will not return in the Çaykur Rizespor match to be played next week, the Bulgarian coach said, "I think we will start this fight with the same defense. Because I do not think my injured players will return by now. We definitely need to play with high self-confidence. At the same time, we must be much better in defense and not concede easy goals. We have allowed easy goals so far. However, we must be better motivated next week."
