Bodrum FK, a Turkish professional football club based in the picturesque coastal town of Bodrum, celebrated a resounding 2-0 home victory against Sivasspor in the 16th week of the Trendyol Super Lig. The win has sent ripples of excitement through the Turkish football world and beyond,prompting speculation about the team’s future prospects.
following the match, Bodrum FK’s coach, Volkan Demirel, addressed the media in a post-game press conference. His analysis of the game offered insightful commentary on the team’s performance and strategic adjustments.
“Ther was a team that deserved to win or needed to win today. We got the reward of our work. When we look at it, I can divide the match into three. Up to 20 minutes of the first half, the next 25 minutes and the last second half. The first 20 minutes were a little bit of that goal-conceding game. The feeling of insecurity pushed the team. We made a lot of turnovers, but after the 20th minute, Manaj and Koita’s returns were weak, and when they kept the ball in the second area, they started to pass and started to take positions with side crosses. But we made very simple turnovers. With the change we made at the beginning of the second half, we tried to return to a game that could keep the game in the second zone and direct it, which is why we scored the goals. I am very happy that we were able to convey this,and I am very happy about the joy of the group inside,because there is a team that truly believes and tries to do what we say. That’s why I congratulate everyone,”
Demirel’s assessment highlighted the team’s initial struggles and their subsequent tactical shift that led to their victory. He emphasized the importance of team unity and belief in their strategy.
VAR Controversy and Future Transfers
The match also saw a penalty decision that sparked debate. Demirel’s comments on the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system’s review time are sure to resonate with fans worldwide who have witnessed similar delays.
“The penalty was very clear, everyone saw it, but of course VAR looks at it a little longer. Every detail is taken into consideration, from before to after. But it needs to be a little shorter because there is a screen there so we can see what is what. Of course, it may take a little longer because the referees look at all the screens, but the time should be shortened a little more. But we have to respect them.’We won today, with or without a penalty,’ he said.
Looking ahead, Demirel addressed rumors of potential player transfers, emphasizing the club’s focus on building a cohesive team.
“We are working on transfers, not just as Fenerbahçe. I work the same way with my team. As there is a very nice environment, from our facilities to our stadium to my fellow players. I want to bring players suitable for this environment and player group. Hopefully, if we bring the right players here, we will become stronger and we will create the Bodrumspor we want together. We still have time, we are investigating. I don’t want to talk about somthing that hasn’t happened or is not clear,but we’ll see. There are places that everyone sees and feels. I hope we can bring players who will be suitable here.”
This victory positions Bodrum FK as a team to watch in the Turkish Super Lig. Their performance, coupled with Demirel’s insightful comments, promises an exciting season ahead.
