Fatih Tekke evaluates the Galatasaray defeat

In the 35th week of the Trendyol Super Lig, Trabzonspor was defeated 2-0 by Galatasaray at home. Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke made statements at the press conference held after the match.

Tekke stated that, on the negative side, they should have kept the ball a bit more today, saying, "I can say this as a negative. There were two chances in the first half, one of them should have been a goal.

We had injuries we could not foresee. We had to make changes due to the injuries of Enis and then Okay. In general terms, we played against a very good squad.

We only left Muslera free during the press. They tried to play with long balls. The first goal came from a set piece and we made a mistake. The second goal came from a transition. We were punished for a small mistake. Our opponent has many valuable players," he said.

"WE WILL PLAY THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH OF THE SEASON"

Stating that they have the most valuable match of the season ahead of them, Fatih Tekke said, "It is not an easy match. I think we challenged the Galatasaray team today. The cup match will be different. Savic's situation will be clear tomorrow. We do not know the status of Okay. Enis Destan will be out for 2-3 weeks. At the end of this match, I say it is good that I rotated the squad. Our Trabzonspor's most important match of this year will be on Wednesday. I hope we will make our fans happy and continue in European competitions for our future; this is very, very important and valuable for us. I hope we achieve this. Every match of ours is difficult. It is not easy. I hope we win," he expressed.

"WE WANT TO BRING THE CUP TO TRABZON"

Regarding the referee's performance, Fatih Tekke said, "I try to watch every match. There are issues discussed in Turkey's climate. I looked at that position again while talking inside. The man behind the person on whom the offside line is drawn is not visible. It is an interesting thing. We had complaints about this last week. What happened is clear; there is no need to cause a headache by talking about these. My players gave all the effort they could against a good squad. It was a match where the Galatasaray team tried to attack with long balls, and they were sometimes successful with these balls, and sometimes we were successful. I am satisfied with the performance and desire of our players. Thank God we did not experience anything that would break our courage. We will prepare for the final match in a stronger and more courageous way. We want to win the cup match and bring it to Trabzon," he said.
