RAMS Başakşehir Coach Çağdaş Atan: Finally, we were able to present the first victory to both our club, ourselves and our country in the league stage.
Evaluating the match at the press conference held after the match, Çağdaş Atan said, “Finally, we were able to present the first victory to both our club, ourselves and our country in the league stage. We started the match great. Everything went as we thought. We accomplished everything we planned. We gave a position. “The position came from the position where they crossed.” he said.
Stating that they started the second half with a low performance, Atan said:
“We couldn’t get a solid footing and then we were punished with a goal. We found the goal right after. We scored a great goal. We played by giving the ball to the opponent and waiting. It didn’t suit us. I can’t say we were able to do this very well. Now we are sorry for the Petrocub match. Now we turned the last match into the final match. We have a final match on Sunday. We need to rest. We tried to score. We made the player changes. We dedicate the victory to our president. Our president cares more about the victories in Europe. We have found ourselves for three weeks. My players have been doing what is necessary for the last three matches. It was not easy to get out of the difficult situation. The decisions we made united us. A solid 15 players is better than a half-20 players. Our feet need to be firmly on the ground.”
“(Fenerbahçe match) We have not determined a clear plan”
Çağdaş Atan said the following about the match against Fenerbahçe in the 16th week of the Trendyol Super League:
“One-on-one pressing, that’s what we’ve preferred for the vast majority of my career since the beginning. It doesn’t matter who the competitors are. We have now started to analyze Fenerbahçe’s last matches. We know that Fenerbahçe loses the ball behind, sometimes puts Amrabat in the middle, and prefers long balls with Livakovic. It is not easy to play away with Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş. We will try to play with the correct game format. We saw today that we are not a team that can wait. The opponent’s game format and the situation they are in will determine our game. We haven’t set a clear plan. We need to analyze the psychological state of the opponent. We played with one-on-one pressure. The image after giving the ball to the opponent did not make me very happy. “We will continue one-on-one pressing in waiting positions without getting tired.”
Emphasizing that there is great enthusiasm and unity within the team, the young coach said, “The locker room has been telling great stories for the last three matches. We united by decreasing. We need to celebrate this. “We will start thinking about the Fenerbahçe match tomorrow.” he said.
Expressing that he is satisfied with his players, Atan said, “Başakşehir is one of the 6 champions of this league. Change and transfer never end here. The performance gives you the ticket. Those with good performance can catch the train. Ways may be parted with a player who is not competent and unsuitable for the game. There is no such situation at the moment. Our goal is to make it to the play-offs. To be in the top 6 in the league until the halftime.” he said.
Çağdaş Atan answered the question about whether they will play a match every 3 days: “Playing on Monday is the ideal for us. The Federation arranged it. Fenerbahçe will have 1 more day off. “This is the best for us.” he replied.
Heidenheim Coach Frank Schmidt: Başakşehir really deserved the win
Making a statement at the press conference held after the match played at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, Schmidt stated that they made mistakes in the conceded goals.
Congratulating RAMS Başakşehir for the win, the German coach said, “Başakşehir really deserved the win. It was a bitter end for us. We could not dominate the game. We conceded goals and fell behind 2-0. We made mistakes. The match slipped away from us. “Our performance was not enough to win this match.” he said.
Explaining that they tried to win bilateral matches throughout the match, Schmidt said, “Although we tried to control the ball, we lost the ball as a result of the pressure. When my players lost the ball, I decided to use our substitution right. I tried to change the course by using my amendment rights. My players are under a serious burden in this current match flow. That’s why I didn’t want to tire my players.” he said.
Stating that he observed a lack of communication between the players during the match, Schmidt said, “They should have been more careful. They had problems among themselves. Unfortunately, they reflected their anger on the field. That’s why they couldn’t focus on the match. I apologize to those who support us. “The defeat was disappointing for us.” made his assessment.
