Yunus Akgün: 'We will reflect the positive atmosphere on the pitch as time goes on'

Yunus Akgün of the A National Team, who lost 2-1 to Belgium in Izmir in the UEFA Nations League, spoke after the match. The national player recalled that they could not leave their first matches under Sergen Yalçın with a win.

Akgün began by saying they had received the news that there were martyrs in Malatya, and he extended his condolences to the nation. The player stressed that they had taken the lead early with a goal, but said they had experienced dips during the game and the opponent punished them in those moments. He added that they were always in the game and got into positions, but could not make the most of them.

Noting that they had only just started their matches with head coach Sergen Yalçın, Akgün said they would reflect the positive atmosphere on the pitch as time goes on. He said they were sad not to win but gave a good reaction and played well. He also noted that he wanted to thank the people of Izmir.
