In the press conference he held after the match, Reis stated that they had clear opportunities in the first half of the match.
Stating that they could not take advantage of the goal positions, Reis said, “There were opportunities after the goal we scored, but we could not take advantage of them. We could not take the opponent’s long pass well and conceded the goal. I can say that the second half was a bit difficult. The field conditions and the team being tired… The 1 point we got was not enough for us. All my players fought, but unfortunately we were unlucky today.” he said.
The German coach emphasized that they lost 2 points against Çaykur Rizespor and continued as follows:
“We lost the points we lost because of the positions we missed in the first half. At this level, it is necessary to conclude the positions with goals. Expectations are high due to last year’s success. I try to motivate the team every 3 days. This is a bit difficult. There are important players who are injured. This situation puts us in a difficult situation for our squad. Our team tried everything today, but unfortunately what was missing was the goal. There was a goal we conceded due to a mistake, while we did not even have a clear position to give to our opponent. A lesson from this.” We will take it out. If they had said at the beginning of the league that they would give us 1 point today after the first 10 weeks, we would have accepted it. But today we see that the 1 point we got today did not make us happy. We suffered too many injuries. “It will take 4-6 weeks for our injured players to return.”
When asked about the statements of the President of the Turkish Football Federation, İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, that some referees working in professional leagues were betting, Reis said, “I want to talk more about the game. The Federation will do its best to correct this situation.” he replied.
