Jumic: I am proud of the team's fight

In Week 9 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Samsunspor hosted Amed Sportif Faaliyetler and lost the match 2-1. After the match, assistant coach Danijel Jumic attended the press conference in place of head coach Nenad Bjelica, who had been sent off.

Jumic expressed his pride in the fight his team showed on the pitch. Stating that they started the match well, Jumic said they had planned an aggressive and compact game, did the right things in the first half, and created several chances.

On the red card, Jumic said that Afonso Sousa was shown a second yellow card because the referee mistook his applause for an opposing player as applause directed at the referee. According to Jumic, Bjelica was shown a red card even though he did not use any insulting or offensive language, and that he only said his own players did not behave the way the opposing players did when they applauded the referee.
