Besnik Hasi: Our Performance Is No Coincidence

Head coach Besnik Hasi spoke at a press conference after the match played at Diyarbakır Stadium. Hasi said his players had achieved an important success despite the limited depth of the squad. Saying he had evaluated the match in three phases, Hasi stated that he had told his players throughout the week that they must take the opponent seriously.

Explaining that he had taken the risk of yellow cards into account in the second phase, Hasi revealed that he had taken all outfield players off the pitch. In the final part of the match, the coach said he had given a chance to Yira Sor, who had not played for a long time, and that the young player had done well. He also recalled that the team had relaxed after the score reached 4-0 and then conceded a goal.

Hasi, noting that Ballet will not be able to play in the next match after receiving a red card, said he respected the referee's decision but had not been able to see the incident. Stressing that Ballet is not a player of that character, Hasi said he found what happened upsetting.

Hasi argued that the performance achieved over the 10 matches played was not a coincidence. Reminding that the team had not dropped points against any opponent and had won all of its matches, the head coach added that they do not have a large squad and need every player. Saying that Ballet's absence will be felt in next week's away match against Galatasaray, Hasi noted that the opponent is also in good form and said the lessons from this encounter will be reviewed.
