Göztepe Head Coach Stoilov's Assessment After the Gaziantep FK Match
Following Göztepe's heavy defeat against Gaziantep FK, head coach Stanimir Stoilov stated that they left behind the worst half of his tenure.
In Göztepe's 4-1 home defeat to Gaziantep FK in the fourth week of the Trendyol Super Lig, head coach Stanimir Stoilov evaluated his team's performance and made critical statements at the post-match press conference.
The Worst 45 Minutes
Göztepe Head Coach Stanimir Stoilov stated that they left behind the worst first half he has experienced during his three years in charge.
Stating that they made all possible mistakes on the pitch and failed to reflect their playing identity, the experienced coach said they lost one-on-one duels both in attack and defense.
Red Card and Dangerous Period
Expressing that they started the second half stronger but the match completely slipped away after the red card, Stoilov emphasized that they are currently in a very dangerous and difficult process.
He noted that the way out of this situation is to act smart, work harder, and unite the entire Göztepe community.
Call for Solidarity and Unity
Stating that this challenging process poses a risk not just for the players or the coaching staff, but for the entire club, Stoilov expressed that the unity built over the past three years must definitely not be broken.
The manager stated that he has the experience to manage crisis processes and conveyed that the return of injured players to the team is of great importance for defensive security.
Defensive Line and Player Choices
Stating that Ege was substituted to protect his psychology and keep him away from negative reactions, Stoilov noted that he thinks the other defensive players made more mistakes.
He added his belief that with the return of Sonko and Godoi from injuries, they will reach a much more stable and stronger position in the defensive line.
