Ertuğrul Sağlam: I am truly very sad for the sake of Turkish football

In the 4th week of the Trendyol 1st League, Kocaelispor was defeated 3-0 by Amed Sportif Faaliyetler in the match held in Şanlıurfa.

Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Kocaelispor Manager Ertuğrul Sağlam said, "First of all, I want to say this. It was not a very fair match. Therefore, I don't have much to say regarding the technical side of things.

I am sad for the sake of Turkish football. We lost a match today.

I will speak very briefly because if I speak at length, the process from here on out could become problematic. I just want to say this: We lost 3 points today, but if we can use this situation well, if the city of Kocaeli, its people, and our fans can analyze this situation well and display a stance in terms of unity, solidarity, supporting each other, and helping one another for what comes next, we can create a synergy that will gain us much more than the 3 points we lost today.

We can produce values that will make our future easier. I think we should evaluate today in this way. Other than that, there is not much to talk about in terms of football. I am truly very sad for the sake of Turkish football," he stated.
