Yalçın Koşukavak: “I felt like I was the coach of two teams on the field”

Iğdır FK Technical Director Yalçın Koşukavak, who stated that he was nervous before the match because he built Boluspor’s squad, said, “It was an emotional match for my players with whom we achieved success that no one expected last year. Of course, since I built Boluspor’s squad, one gets a little nervous. They have good players, of course, when you look at the game from our side, it is a team that came from a lower league. We have a lot of work to do. We stay in Ankara, we cannot organize training etc. very easily and we have 13 transfers. Also, it was very difficult for us to play in the first week of the league. Last year, because I worked on Boluspor a lot, I was a little nervous and anxious, to be honest. When the game started, both teams gave similar moments because they had the ball. I felt like I was the coach of both teams on the field. Because I always had my ideas on the field. It is something that makes me proud. Since we are a new team in the first part of the game, it is not easy to establish many parameters. This is a matter of time. It was the same in Boluspor. While the game was going so balanced, we found a goal and took the lead. This was a great opportunity for us. We had to keep the score now. If we can’t find two, one zero is very critical for us. Because the first matches of the league are both difficult as everyone says and it was such a new team, 13 transfers were not easy. Hopefully, when we develop the game model better in the coming weeks, we will show a different Iğdır FK. Boluspor also fought very well. Congratulations,” he said.

Serhat Gülpınar: “We were able to put the game on the opponent’s field”

Serhat Gülpınar, who stated that he was pleased with the game played by his players because they did not force the opponent out of their own half, said, “We actually could not start the first half as we wanted. We started to warm up slowly after the first fifteen or twenty minutes of the game. It has been approximately 20-25 days since we joined the team. Especially 40-50 percent of our players are not fully ready yet. We wanted to start the game with the most prepared squad. Our friends showed the best effort they could as much as possible. Of course, it is not easy. We have a process ahead of us. I hope that we can reach better places by developing this both physically and by adding it to our game. We were able to confine the opponent to their own field in the second half. We created 3-4 dangers with side crosses. There were 1-2 penalty positions. I do not know, I will look at the footage later, but my friends say it was a penalty. We were able to transfer the game to the opponent’s field. The Iğdır team is really one of the good teams, good feet, good squads of this league. “Although we were not 100% ready, it was pleasing for us to be able to find positions by confining ourselves to our own field. We will continue to develop. As I said, we have deficiencies. We have positional deficiencies. We had to play different players in different positions, to be honest, a little bit today. But as I said, I am very pleased with the effort of my players. They played with great desire and enthusiasm,” he said. – BOLU
