In the 12th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Trabzonspor was defeated 3-1 away by Çaykur Rizespor. Trabzonspor manager Şenol Güneş made statements at the press conference held after the match. Stating that they left the match, which they had set out to win, with a 3-1 defeat, Güneş said, “We came here to win but left with a 3-1 defeat.
There was a certain balance until we scored, but after the goal, we retreated into our own half and allowed the opponent to press us. We could not transition when we won the ball. We conceded a goal in the final minute of the half, and we were under complete pressure in the last 5 minutes. While we were thinking about starting the second half well, when we look at the game, we played below the level we expected.
The game we played as a team today did not respond to the opponent's desire. Of course, this is something related to my choices. I wanted to see a more resilient, more confident team that shows more defiance. But unfortunately, it did not happen. Because we have experienced these changes and differences within the game from time to time.
After the Başakşehir match in Göztepe, and after the Fenerbahçe match here. In other words, we ended up playing more negatively and making more mistakes than we expected when we should have played better.
The 3 points we lost are not just 3 points; it is a disappointment for us in terms of our performance as well. It is the same for the players. Trabzonspor needed a breakthrough. Our situation was already not good. I think there is a major trauma. I feel that. Because the fluctuations the players have during the game are linked to this,” he said.
