Why It Matters
Antalyaspor drew 1-1 with Bursaspor in the 14th week of the Trendyol 1st League. The match was played at Antalya Stadium.
Antalyaspor's coach Osman Özköylü, who drew 1-1 with Bursaspor at home in the 14th week of the Trendyol 1st League, said that they fought well against a strong opponent.
At the press conference held after the match at Antalya Stadium, Özköylü explained that they occasionally had problems defending the opponent's effective players in the first half, and that they changed the game plan in the second half and became more effective.
Stating that they changed their game setup in the second half, Özköylü said, "We had clear positions. We had more clear opportunities than Bursaspor. Despite everything, we had a high number of missing players. Our football players, who took the field in the absence of our four important players, fought with great devotion. I am very pleased with the performance of my players." he said.
Emphasizing that the team is improving physically, the coach stated that their fighting power is increasing every week and that they want to crown this performance with victories.
Özköylü stated that the news that the players refused to train during the week did not reflect the truth and said, "We have players who have not received a salary since the beginning of the season. It is natural that this situation causes some mental problems. However, despite the suffering they have experienced, our football players deserve their jerseys and continue to serve Antalyaspor." he said.
Bursaspor Coach Mustafa Er expressed that they were sorry for the draw.
Noting that the opponent could not create a goal threat in the first half of the match, Er made the following evaluation:
"In the first half, we were supposed to be 2-3 ahead and the opponent was down to 9 or 10 men. There was a very bad referee management. We played poorly between the 45th and 60th minutes of the second half. Unfortunately, we concede a goal without giving the opponent a position. In this sense, we are very generous. When we evaluate the 90 minutes, we played well for 75 minutes and gave the game to the opponent for 15 minutes. Despite this, we are sorry for leaving two points. I believe that we will win again in the remaining 5 weeks and finish the first half as the leader."
