“Nothing is over for now”
“We actually started the match well. In the first 10 minutes, we created some chances. After that, the opponent was slightly superior to us. We started the second half well again. Nothing is over for now. We lost 2-1, but we will be looking forward to the return match in Kadıköy.”
“Our opponent is a team we can beat”
“We are a quality team. While sitting on the bench, I talked with my friends. Our opponent is a team we can beat. I believe we will win in Kadıköy. Hopefully, we will be the ones to advance and take another step towards the Champions League.”

“I actually felt the goal before the match. Some people said ‘you will score today’ on the bus ride. Scoring or not doesn’t matter; what’s important is the team winning. Last year, I contributed a lot to the score, but we couldn’t finish happily in the end. Hopefully, this year we will finish happily as a team.”
