“We will achieve our goal of advancing to the next round in the top 8” Sports News Düzce Tv

Galatasaray football player Abdülkerim Bardakcı said that they will achieve their goal of reaching the next round in the top 8 of the UEFA Europa League.

Galatasaray drew 3-3 with the Ukrainian team Dynamo Kiev, which it hosted in the 7th week of the UEFA Europa League. Abdülkerim Bardakcı, who scored the second goal of the yellow-reds, made a statement to the press after the match.

Abdülkerim started his speech by wishing God's mercy to those who lost their lives in the incident in Bolu and a speedy recovery to the injured and said, “As for the match, we took the lead, we are playing at home. It was a match we definitely had to win. But we will play against Ajax in the last match. With God's permission, we will achieve our goal of being in the top 8. This is football, there is nothing to do. We work hard, we constantly try. Sometimes it doesn't happen. “We will do whatever is necessary to fix this as soon as possible,” he said.

“We will concede fewer goals again as soon as possible”

When reminded that they conceded goals in all the matches they played in the Europa League this season, the 30-year-old football player said, “We started to concede goals very easily. But the defense is done with 11 people. We will get through this as soon as possible. We are working on this too. We have a good rapport with Davinson. But defense is not done with just two people, center backs or full-backs. Defense is something done as a team. Of course, we also have mistakes. If we concede too many goals, we are the biggest culprits as defenders. We are working on this. “As soon as possible, we will concede as few goals as before, or even none at all,” he said.

“We will win the Ajax match”

Underlining that they want to advance to the next round of the UEFA Europa League by winning the Ajax match, Abdülkerim said, “As a team, we are preparing for every match with 100 percent concentration. Everyone comes out fully concentrated. But sometimes it is not possible. It didn't happen today either. We have another chance ahead of us, the Ajax match. “Hopefully we will beat them there,” he said.

“Muslera is one of the legends of this club”

Regarding the reactions towards goalkeeper Fernando Muslera at the end of the match, the experienced player said, “Muslera is one of the legends of this club. He won countless trophies and victories here. There will definitely be reactions. The fans are always right. We will do everything we can. Nando is such a great character. He gave his years here. Likewise, he will continue his performance at 100 percent. Muslera is the best goalkeeper in this league.”
