Before the match, both in training and in our discussionsin our discussions. Today, we conceded goals due tovery simple individual errors.
Even though the goal we scored was wonderful, we areexperiencing the sadness of conceding goals from areas we hadworked on. TodThe saddest part of the dayis losing our game discipline. This happens in football. It happens when you're down by 5, 4, or 6 goals. Regardless of the situation, we must not lose our game discipline. This saddened me greatly.
My playershave come from 0 points to 23 points. It has been a period where they have become exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally.Therefore, they now need a break.I have. Today's defeat, I must take it entirely upon myself. Because the emotionalsituation experienced during the week, in my opinion, no matter how much it appeared not to affect our players,it did affect them.I think so. Therefore, for everyone, because of such a situation, I apologize," heremarked.
"Starting tomorrow, we will focus on everything all over again."
Stating that they want to be a more eager and ambitious team in the second half of the league and start a new winning streak, Yılmaz said, "I am sure we can achieve this. My sadness is only for today, for this moment. From tomorrow on, we will concentrate on everything again. The winter break is coming now. We have a transfer period. We want to sign at least 3 players. We want to talk to the players we are notusing and say goodbye. I also need to think about our clubin thisregard."I need to think about thefinancialaspectof it.Because our budgets are limited," he said."I want 3 clear starters for the first 11."
He added.
Regarding the path they will follow during themid-season transferperiod, Yılmaz commented, "The positions are clear. I want to sign one winger, one player who can play as a left-back or left-sided center-back, and one player who can play as a number 6 or 8. I want three players who will clearly be in the starting 11. If there are extrayoung players, I cannot say anythingabout that. Our must-haves are not three rotation players; I want players who will play directly in the starting 11," he said.He continued, "I want players who will play directly in the starting 11, not three rotation players."
"Wif he says he swore, we have to believe the referee."

I do not know how much Spanish the referee knows. If he saysI swore, I have to believe the referee.it. I also know that my player isnot that kind of person.There is nothing to say about what happened or about the referee. If Kevin sees that red card,he is the one at fault.Camara will also not be in the Galatasaray match.KevinRodrigues will not be there either. Actually, one of the things that upsets us is this. Otherwise, it has been lostafter such a matchwe will experience that sadness until the end today,and from tomorrow on, we will get back on our feet," he said.
