In the 3rd week of the UEFA Conference League, Trabzonspor lost 1-0 to the German team Freiburg. Sports writers evaluated the Trabzonspor - Freiburg match.
"GOOD HEALTH..."
Aksal Yavuz: "Although Trabzonspor was defeated at home, if they had been able to take advantage of the two clear positions they had with Salah, it would have been easy for them to win. If a player like Salah could not turn one of these two positions into a goal, it is because the football gods protected the goal that Backhaus defended from Salah's wrath! Because Salah found the net in much more difficult positions.
Trabzonspor did not deserve to lose with the way they played and the fight they put in, especially in the second half.
Yes, Freiburg is a good team. The players have the habit of playing together, have a strong game memory, and are good at front-court pressure. In short, a quality team.
Despite this, they could not put so much pressure on Trabzonspor and dominate. Their difference was that they managed to find the goal in the position they entered and finish the match victoriously.
To be honest; The right of this match was a draw.
As a result, Trabzonspor only suffered one defeat, they did not lose much with that defeat, they should wish good health and look for ways to compensate for this loss in the matches they will play from now on..." (Milliyet)
"NEED TO TAKE A LESSON"
Halil Özer: "Trabzonspor was like a lazy student who did not study at all in the match they lost. Neither the team nor the fans were ready. They came onto the field with a strange comfort and carelessness due to the two victories they had won.
In the first half hour, our team almost couldn't get past the midfield. He could not use Salah at all. On the contrary, he made many mistakes in defense. Mustafa was having a very bad day. It was his fault in the goal, too. Unnecessarily throwing the ball into the corner led to the goal.
Freiburg used the field extensively. Of course, Trabzonspor, which consists of heavy players, had a lot of difficulties. He could only achieve a single position with Salah. That's it.
In the 2nd half, Trabzonspor was more organized. He played with more control. In this half, Salah missed a goal 100 percent of the time. However, when you look at the two goals missed in the first half and in this half, Salah is normally a football player who can score them with his eyes closed, but today it did not happen.
Of course, Salah is not responsible for the defeat. Especially Saviola couldn't do anything yesterday. Mendy was inadequate. Muçi could not deliver what was expected. Onuachu, on the other hand, got lost among the tough German defence. "As the changes made by Reis were not very effective, Trabzonspor left the three points at home." (Nationality)
"THE DEFICIENCIES WERE DETERMINANT IN THE RESULT"
İskender Günen: "In the first 20 minutes of the game, Freiburg took possession of the ball and made Trabzonspor's attempts to attack from the edge of the field. They also took the lead 1-0 with the goal coming from a set-piece. There are balls lost when leaving the defense. Cenk, who plays in the middle of the defense, has to be more careful.
It was seen once again in this match that when the ball is moved to the third zone, the players who run the system are Franculino and Aral. When onuachu doesn't get the balls he wants from the sidelines, he makes the team play with 10 players, just like yesterday.
Folcarelli, who puts pressure on the opponent in the midfield, has the ability to win the ball and has the habit of playing vertically with the ball, was wanted in this match.
Even though there was intense pressure in the second half, the biggest reason for the lack of productivity was that the necessary organizations could not be made when the ball reached the third zone. Salah was ineffective due to the sweet and tough play of the opponent and could not take advantage of two clear goal positions."
"THE STRUGGLE DID NOT FIT ON THE SIGN..."
Olcay Çakır: "Last night, we watched a Trabzonspor team that could not get into the game at the beginning. A team that recovered and took responsibility after seeing the goal in its goal emerged. The opportunities missed with Salah made the story more dramatic. Freiburg is a good team. Their lines are close to each other, they do not leave living space between their blocks. Despite this, Trabzonspor tried every way from the ground, air, sidelines and center, especially in the last episode.
He also found a position. What was missing was the goal that would carry all this effort to the top. Let me be clear; If Trabzonspor had been on the field with all its players and strong alternatives, the story of this match could have been written differently. I don't say this for consolation. I found the struggle and the desire to win sufficient; "The limitation of options narrowed the opportunity to change the game."
