Thomas Reis: We lost in the end, but I am happy with the second half

Trabzonspor lost 1-0 at home to Freiburg in the third round of the UEFA Conference League. After the match, head coach Thomas Reis spoke to TRT Spor.

Reis said he was not happy with the first few minutes of the match. He said the goal came from a simple mistake, that they did not get enough presence on the pitch in the early minutes, and that they lost the ball far too easily.

Stressing that his team showed a good fight in the second half, Reis said, "We lost in the end, but I am happy with the effort in the second half." He explained that for 90 minutes they could not produce the impact they wanted in midfield, and that they had to find Paul but were unable to. He added that they created an important chance with Salah but failed to convert it. Reis said there are matches ahead and that what they must do now is keep going.
