“I think it was a very good match for both teams. I was very good, especially in the first 30-35 minutes, until I scored. Both teams created important occasions. In the first 20 minutes we created more on transitions.
Maybe we could have marked more, but I can say that anyone who saw the match appreciated the first half because both teams were good. What is important to us is that the players who entered the bench have contributed a lot and understood that every player in the lot is imported. They understood the importance of a player from the bench. Have entered and contributed very well. They are important to us.
We had two victories in a row, but we have to stay with our feet on the ground. The Turkish league is a very difficult championship. We are aware of it. We have to continue to work hard. Everyone has to jump 100%. We will never accept that a player will give less than 100% because if we do not continue to play that way, if we do not play at 100%, it is very difficult to win. It's a very difficult league. I congratulate my players, “said Joao Pereira, Alanyaspor coach, according to aydinosmanie.com.
