After the goal we conceded, things changed. We gave the opponentwe were planning to play according tobut we had trouble in defense struggled to solveit. While waiting, due to the poor positioning of one or two of our players and our opponent's skill, we conceded a goal. We also conceded the second goalfrom a throw-in. We had serious positional errors there as well. We have been for 8 months we are working. The side I am saddened by is this; if we haven't managed to play positional football for 8 months, it won't work.

Playing with emotion is one thing, playing with positioning is another. In this regard, we are working a lotdespite having settled in, we conceded goals. We are being punished for the slightest mistake. We were definitely not behind in terms of play. We started the second half well too. We found the goal, we tried for a 2-2 with very clear chances, but it didn't happen.

After that, we saw the third goal in our net. In those moments, wewere defeated. All the goals we conceded are goals we should not accept. Before the league cup matchof ours, immediately First, we need to make transfers for our missing positionsthat can play directly. Because we are verydeficient. I also congratulate Galatasaray. I do not think we wereinferiorin terms of play, but we weredefeated," he stated.

What we are working on is clear.We showed this today as well.If we had better players,we would play this game better. Our perspective on transfersisnot about performance, but taking the game one step further.Additionally, we have serious injuries; Savic's situation is clear, and Antony is a short-term...time played.Okay is injured, Baniya is injured, the other players are young, we need at least 2 center-backs.We have no alternatives for right-back and left-back. We also have a shortage on the wings. We urgently need these. If we had the money, I would want a midfielder and a number 10. If something happens to our players, we will be very short-handed.This team is young and a newly formed team. At the beginning of the season, nearly 20 players cawere suggested, and loanswere granted. There are players I currently want to leave as well. My perspective on transfersisto take our game one step further," he said.
