Eyüpspor coach Gerin reacts: 'Galatasaray doesn't need the referee'

Reminding that they fell behind early in the match and were left with ten men in the 38th minute, Gerin said, "We are sad because we lost. I congratulate Galatasaray. It is not easy at all to fall 1-0 behind against Galatasaray at the start of the match and then play for 55-60 minutes with 10 men.

Galatasaray is a team that plays in the Champions League. They have very strong players. There is one issue I criticize myself for. We have started behind in my fifth match as well. It means I cannot concentrate the boys well. They are very young kids. They have very little experience. When you fall behind at the start of the match, it is not easy to recover.

I am satisfied with the first 30-35 minutes, considering the matches we will play against teams of our own caliber. We were able to possess the ball against a team like Galatasaray.

We hadn't been able to take a single corner in last week's Başakşehir match. This week, we took at least 4 corners. We are trying to move our team up step by step. If we could have found the 1-1 equalizer with Umut when the score was 1-0, we could have held onto the game more and felt more motivated. God willing, we will hold on. I saw a light," he said.

"Galatasaray doesn't need the referee"

Speaking to the broadcaster, Eyüpspor coach Atila Gerin stated, "I also congratulate the refereeing team; they made the game better. I hope they give the same decisions for both teams. We will see this in Turkish football too. Galatasaray doesn't need the referee. Our team's monthly salary payroll is 50 thousand euros. A team like Galatasaray does not need the referee to beat a team with a monthly salary budget of 50 thousand euros. If they can give these decisions in favor of Galatasaray, so be it. As long as nothing happens to me, and nothing happens to anyone else," he said.
