Eagles’ new manager was optimistic after the game

“In the first 20 minutes, we played real well against a team who have been playing together for many years. But after Veli Kavlak got injured, we kind of lost control in midfield and gave away some chances. The second half was an up and down affair, during which the game could’ve gone either way. I’m sure we’ll improve as the season goes on. Now, we must forget about this one and get ready for next week’s derby match against Galatasaray.”
