In the 25th week of the Spor Toto Super League, Sivasspor lost 3-0 to Istanbulspor, which they played on the road.
Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Sivasspor Coach Rıza Çalımbay said, “At the beginning of the match, we conceded an unlucky goal from a penalty. After conceding, Istanbulspor’s most important thing was a counterattack. We also had to open up. We were unlucky in the goals we conceded, including the penalty. Wrong. It’s a shame. We respect him. Max Gradel didn’t do anything to him. Only in the second time, Halil Umut Meler is right one hundred percent. But Gradel objected with his hand so that he could start the goalkeeper. He went to him and showed him a yellow card. He’s making the kid angry and tense by himself. After that, he kicks the man out of the game. Is it easy to kick the man out? This is not refereeing. I believe he kicked it on purpose. I made a mistake today. I went to the rotation. We had friends who wanted to show themselves. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out as I expected. I really felt sorry for him. I was expecting something. Unfortunately I didn’t get what I expected. This was a mistake for me too. That’s why I’m going to look ahead now. We have a European match. After that, we have matches in the league. No matter what anyone says, we will come to very good places in the league. This game has been a lesson for us. I am a respectful person to referees. What Halil Umut Meler is doing on the field today is not correct. It communicates with the player. It calms the nervous. He managed a very bad game in my opinion,” he said.

Istanbulspor Coach Fatih Tekke said in a statement after Sivasspor’s victory, “The win was very important. I congratulate my players for getting 3 points.”
Making a statement at the press conference held after the match, Istanbulspor Technical Director Fatih Tekke said, “It was a difficult match. Sivasspor started the game with 6 rotations outside of our expectations. We were successful in the match with the front-field pressure. It was very important for us to get ahead. I can’t say that our opponent had a lot of positions. A serious transition team. “We gave the ball to them more. This was within the plan. The win was very important. I congratulate my players for getting 3 points. They fought very hard. Let’s not mislead anyone with 3-0. Our job is not easy. We have to give our 100 percent in every game. This is a plan.” “We have to do it within the limits. My players put up a very serious fight. I congratulate both teams,” he said.
