"This was not the right of the match!"

Fenerbahçe coach İsmail Kartal, who lost 6-0 away to Aston Villa in the second week match of the UEFA Champions League, made a statement after the match.

"THAT WAS NOT THE RIGHT OF THE MATCH, WE LEARNED IMPORTANT LESSONS"

When you look at the match, this is not the right of the match. Football... You are competing at the highest level. We should not make such simple passing mistakes at such a high level. When they do it, they punish it very quickly. This match happened like this. We shouldn't make so many passing mistakes at this level. We learned very important lessons from here. It was a great lesson for all of us. This acceptable result is not for the score, but for the Fenerbahçe community.

"WE SHOULD FORGET THIS MATCH AND PREPARE FOR THE ALANYASPOR MATCH"

We have a very important league match in 2-3 days. We must put this aside and prepare for the Alanyaspor match. We apologize to our community and fans for this score. We couldn't imagine such a defeat. It's not acceptable. We apologize. We'll leave this aside. We learned very important lessons. We have a very important league match in 2-3 days. We must concentrate on that match. We must forget this match.

"KANTE SAID HE COULD NOT PLAY"

We were going to make 1-2 changes at halftime. We talked to Kante. He said he couldn't play. We were going to do it, but the team reacted well until the 62nd round. Everything was going well. The game was interrupted when there was a penalty following a mistake. We wanted to move Kante to the center and keep him there with a player who is more experienced and makes fewer passing mistakes by making a change of blood, but he said that he was not 100 percent ready, 'There would be a risk if I play'. For that place, there was a Bartug and a Levent who would play 6-8. Then, when there was a mistake, we had to make changes.

"YOU CANNOT PREDICT PLAYERS' MISTAKES"

If I go back to the beginning of the match, if there was such an opportunity... At this level, you cannot predict that these players will make these mistakes. There is no tactics for this. Can I explain? In the first half, the team played the necessary game and created positions. We did not win from mistakes. We couldn't evaluate it, the opponent did. We went in 3-0. Unfortunately, when that mistake happened in the second half, there was such a difference.
