On Saturday evening, Ianis Hagi scored his second goal at Alanyaspor. And this time, the execution of the Romanian was special.
Ianis received the ball somewhere 25 meters from the goal, in the central area, took over with his right and used his left to place the ball. Then, without much momentum, a “torpedo” at which the goalkeeper of the hosts, Andre Onana, had no chance!
Ianis Hagi, stopped at the interview after scoring superbly in Turkey: “The chip doesn't jump far from the trunk”
At the end of the match, in the mixed zone, an English-speaking reporter asked him two questions, first comparing him with his father, the author of some memorable goals including in Turkey. Below, the resulting discussion and published by Kuzey Ekspres.
– You scored the equalizer today. It was a “chip does not jump far from the trunk” type moment. And your father scored against Trabzonspor, in the very last match of his career. What do you have to say?
– Obviously, I'm happy that I scored, that I managed to get a point, but let's be honest: we were the better team and it leaves us with a bitter taste that we leave here with only one point. We wanted 3, I think everyone saw that we tried to play football from the 1st minute to the last. We're leaving with a point, but I think there are a lot of positives to take from this international break to build on for what's to come so we end the year on a positive note.
– Trabzon is one of the most difficult terrains in Turkey. What can you tell us about the supporters here?
– It is a difficult land to visit. Not only to get a result, but also to play here is difficult, but we managed both. As I said, we would have liked 3 points, but I think we dominated the game, we were the better team. Credit to the staff, the players, everyone in the team. In the last two games we didn't play as we would have liked, but today we reacted.
With the point obtained in Trabzon, Alanyaspor climbed to 8th in the first league of Turkey, now having 15 points. Trabzonspor has 25, the same as Fenerbahce and 4 below the leader Galatasaray.
