He noted that the second goal they found in the second half with Oğuz's superb dribbling relieved the team and that they tried to take control of the game afterwards.

Passing Organizations and Trainings

Saying that they have been working on passing organizations since the beginning of the season, İsmail Kartal conveyed that they strive to improve the interconnected play of wingers, full-backs, and midfielders.

Emphasizing that it is difficult to apply these organizations on the field against a running, good, and organized team like Samsunspor, he noted that they achieved this in the first half.

Speaking about the new transfer Kojo Oppong, who was included in the match squad, İsmail Kartal stated that the player had only done a light sweat-inducing training session with the team.

Conveying that Oppong stated in his meeting with him that he had not participated in trainings the last week and was a bit out of shape, the coach said they will evaluate the player's condition in the training sessions to be held this week.
