Here are Fernando Santos's statements:
'We achieved a very important victory. We advanced to the semi-finals of the cup. We knew it would be important, and we prepared accordingly. Being in the semi-finals is important. We want to reach the final and win the cup. The Ankaragücü match will also be a difficult semi-final, but we know our strength. We were good today. I can say that we achieved a fair victory; we deserved it.
I will start thinking about the Galatasaray match tomorrow morning. Today is the day for this match. Derbies are very important, and it will be a great match, but we will start thinking about it from tomorrow onwards.
Salih Uçan was tired; he had suffered an injury. I took him off to keep the midfield strong. We will check his condition; we only know that it is fatigue.'
