Sakaryaspor Coach Suat Kaya said, “I am experiencing such a season for the first time in my life.”

Sakaryaspor’s head coach Suat Kaya said, “This is the first time I am experiencing a season like this in my life.”

Evaluating the match against Çorum FK, Suat Kaya stated that they had drawn in the 4 matches they played in the league, saying, “We are experiencing everything we don’t want to experience during this process. We structured the players by forming a team in a short time. We have no choice but to show resistance against our opponents. But today, it was unexpected that we conceded a goal in extra time. All of our players deserve respect. Because in 2 months, we have had 3 sporting directors and a change in management, which inevitably affects both the city and the players. There are only 10 days left until the transfer window closes. Our number of player acquisitions has increased a bit. We are forced into this. We needed to change players at the beginning of the first half and the second half. But we are always acting according to the resistance. We are trying to keep the same players inside. You didn’t cause it, but this was meant to be. Sakaryaspor had such a good defensive understanding against a tough opponent, a well-prepared team.”

Thanking the Mayor of Sakarya for his support on their trip to Çorum, Kaya said, “First of all, I would like to thank the mayor, who played a significant role in us coming here. It was a long journey. I thank my players very much. I want to thank our fans who support us everywhere we go, despite the distance and not knowing anything.”

After the meeting, when a journalist asked, “What awaits us during the national break, as the team’s lack of fitness is noticeable, what would you like to say?” Kaya responded, “I disagree with the lack of fitness because we are catching up every week. We didn’t start easily. We had the toughest task, but as the resistance increases and the quality of the players rises, what actually pains me is this; you didn’t ask, but I will say it. If you had asked me who was missing when coming here, I would only mention Kahraman because he is suspended. But I truly have a group of players motivated to wet the jersey. I have a group of players who are trying their best. Whatever you say to the players, they do it flawlessly, which makes me very happy. There should be reinforcements, as you are aware we are stopping the game.”

Regarding the question about players who did not want to come to the match, Kaya replied, “One player did not want to come, and another is currently at 50% because there is no doctor’s report. I do not want to mention names, but the group inside didn’t even care, they all deserve respect. The coach said, if anyone wants to go, the door is open. You can send them from my mouth. That’s why I waited until breakfast this morning. The door is open for anyone who does not want to come, regardless of their name. The players we have are enough for us.”
