Speaking to members of the press after the 3-1 victory in Yeni Malatyaspor, BB Erzurumspor’s coach Mesut Bakkal said that he thought there was no point in saying too much in terms of the game and the win, “Because I have been in charge of Erzurumspor for 3 days”.
Bakkal stated that he had the opportunity to go out for only one training session at the beginning of the team and said, “I tried to prepare the team mentally, maybe in theory, maybe with speech. We knew how the new Malatyaspor played, it is a very high quality team. I congratulate them for their success. We knew that they had positioned with pressure in the front, they had an incredibly leading quartet like Adam, Tetteh, Kubilay. We tried to pass on the way out, we said that if we go out with a rust, the pressure of his opponent will give us results. We played one on one. As such, they tried to be dangerous to us with only the passes from afar in the attacks. My two defenders were in a very good shape, as this was the case, we started to stand out a bit more and more. After 1-1, we found 2-1 early and then 3-1. He spoke in the form.
Stating that Erzurumspor, which has not won the league for a long time, has a quality that can do more than the resistance shown today, Mesut Bakkal said, “We made 12 points, now we are going to match. We will collect as many points as we can until the circuit. Then we will act very consciously and positively and start the second half. We want, our victory is auspicious for the community. Starting with a good win made me happy and I also think it made the community happy. I hope this selfless game will continue, “he said.
Bakkal, who also answered the question of a press member ‘What is your goal in Erzurumspor’, said, “First of all, it is a very troubled period at the point where I came, but as the club structure, they have really done some things as a community. I think it is a team that deserves better places in terms of order. My first task is to raise the team up in the league, the important thing is that we want to go steadily and settle in the top ranks this year. We live in a really difficult league as you know. It is too early to talk but I hope some things. I think it will be very beautiful, “he said.
