Erol Bulut: Someone inside the club leaked all the information to Nuri Şahin

In the 11th week of the Trendyol Super League, Antalyaspor defeated Eyüpspor 1-0 away from home. Following the match, Antalyaspor manager Erol Bulut made remarkable statements during the press conference.

Starting his remarks by saying it was a difficult match for them, Bulut said, "It was very important for us to win and take points. After the cup match we played midweek, we needed to continue our path by winning this match with the good morale we gained."

"The opponent had 2-3 goal scoring opportunities in the first half. We couldn't start the way we wanted; we were a bit anxious. When you haven't won a match for a long time, your self-confidence fades. We regained that a bit in the second half. We scored a second goal, but it was ruled offside. The team showed character. They showed team spirit. They showed how we should defend our goal together. If you do some things right together, you can get points," he assessed.

"THEY LEAKED ALL THE INFORMATION TO NURİ ŞAHİN"

Claiming that someone working at the club leaked information to opposing teams, Bulut said, "It is a problem that started last week; we can talk more comfortably about this issue after a win. I would have said the same thing even if we hadn't taken any points. Unfortunately, before the Başakşehir match last week, someone inside the club leaked all the information to the opposing team. They leaked it to coach Nuri. We followed up on it. Unfortunately, it happened before this match as well.

All our tactics, how we will play against the ball, what we will do in attack... This information also went to the Eyüpspor coach. That information reached us. Actually, I want to speak very harshly, but it would be wrong. We need to remove the people who eat the club's bread and betray it from the club. I will specifically follow up to find out who it is.

There are a few reports coming in. I wanted to say it here so that such things don't happen to other teams. These are things that do not suit football or sports. You already watch the opponent's match and do your analysis as part of your own knowledge. When these are given to the opponent, it is characterless in my opinion. We will find that person as soon as possible, and they will never set foot in the facility again," he stated.

"THE PLAYERS HAD LOST THEIR BELIEF"

Stating that the long winless streak negatively affected the team, Bulut said, "They lose belief in themselves, they lose belief in their teammates. They get anxious when the ball comes to their feet. There were 2 matches with me, and matches lost before me. There are deficiencies in the team; I don't want to voice them. We are trying to bring the team to a higher level physically. Football is a physical game. If you are not at a good level physically, you will have a hard time in the league. I think our work will go more smoothly after we bring the team's physical condition to higher levels. I might lie, but the players' data is kept. We track it in training and matches, and we can see some things from there. Regardless of the result, I would have voiced these anyway. In football, technical and tactical situations are not enough on their own. If your physical condition is not good, you will have problems in every league," he said.
