After blaming the two point loss on his team’s tiresome performance against Liverpool, our Technical Director made these comments regarding the game:

‘‘We did not display a fighting game today. If you do not fight you don’t win. Both teams had their chances and Büyükşehir even looked livelier than us. The draw must be regarded as the natural score of the game. Our opponent had an extra motivation because of our victory over Liverpool. We played against a hard running team. They were fresh, we were tired. But since this cannot go on forever, we have to be more careful and build ourselves physically. We must also be more tolerant towards our players in these kinds of situations. Now we are going to get ready for 3 crucial games in 9 days.’’
