Pereira: We Had the Worst Day Since Coming to Turkey

Corendon Alanyaspor coach Joao Pereira said his team had the worst day since arriving in Turkey, after losing 5-0 away to Gençlerbirliği in Week 10 of the Süper Lig.

At the post-match press conference, Pereira explained that his team conceded in the first minute and fell behind, and that after the goal they found their balance but could not make use of their chances. He admitted that the substitutions he made after the score reached 2-0 were a mistake. He said his players were not focused enough and that he felt they gave up after the second goal.

Pereira said his team deserved the defeat and described the match as "a nightmare." He said the team has always had a competitive and combative character, but they could not show that performance on the pitch.

Pereira said that if they had won, everything would look good in the league table. He stressed that they would continue to move forward toward their goal.
