Stoilov: We played our best match

Göztepe won their home match against Çorum FK 2-0. Speaking after the game, Göztepe head coach Stanimir Stoilov said his team had one of the best starts to a match this season. Stoilov stressed that finding two early goals with a pressing and aggressive game plan was very valuable for them.

Stoilov said that in the second half they gave the opponent some initiative, but they reached positions where they could have scored a third and fourth goal. He added that three wins in a row is not easy, so the players need to keep their feet on the ground. Pointing to the psychological pressure the team has been under, Stoilov noted that failing to find a third goal created tension among the players.

The coach said the medical checks at the hospital would clarify the condition of Juan and Rhaldney, who were injured. Stressing the importance of supporters standing behind the team in every situation, Stoilov said the club does not belong to any one person and always belongs to the fans.

Stoilov said that at this week's meeting with the players he would particularly emphasize that substitutes need to be more ambitious and eager. Otherwise, he said, they would stay on the bench or sit in the stands for the next match. He said players should fight for Göztepe however many minutes they play, and that he was not satisfied with the energy of the players who came on today.
