Samsunspor‘s Coach Thomas Reis evaluated the 2-2 draw with Fenerbahçe in the 9th week of the Tredyol Super League.
Samsunspor’s Coach Thomas Reis, who drew 2-2 with Fenerbahçe at home in the 9th week of the Tredyol Super League, said, “Fenerbahçe is a very tough and good team, it was not easy to come from behind to such a team twice.” he said.
At the press conference held after the match, Reis said that they performed very well against Fenerbahçe.
Stating that they could not manage to stay calm in the first half, Reis said, “We performed much better in the second half. Fenerbahçe is a very tough and good team, it was not easy to come from behind to such a team twice. The 1 point we got against Fenerbahçe is also good.” he said.
Pointing out that they sometimes conceded simple goals, Reis continued as follows.
“We conceded a goal like this by mistake against Göztepe, and we conceded a similar goal in the Fenerbahçe match. Our communication must be good. We must not concede simple goals. It was not a position Fenerbahçe found, we conceded the first goal because of our mistake. It is very important that my players did not leave the match until the last minute.” “It’s important. I talk to my team that they shouldn’t give up and lose their faith for 90 minutes. I hope we will be the first to score in the next matches. We are the team that knows how to come back even if we concede a goal.”
Stating that Mourinho is a great coach, Reis said, “I wish him good luck in the rest of the league. If they had scored the third goal, maybe the match would have ended there. I can say that he is a good role model for me. Today, I had the opportunity to meet him for the first time.” he said.
Thomas Reis Reflects on Samsunspor’s Thrilling 2-2 Draw Against Fenerbahçe
Well, well, well! Football fans, grab your popcorn, because recovery from a 2-0 deficit is no small feat – just ask the poor souls who tried to convince everyone they could lower their cholesterol by eating donuts! In a riveting match that had more twists and turns than a British soap opera, Samsunspor’s coach Thomas Reis shared his thoughts after the nail-biting 2-2 draw with Fenerbahçe.
Echoes of Resilience
Reis opened the press conference with a polite compliment to Fenerbahçe, stating, “Fenerbahçe is a very tough and good team, it was not easy to come from behind to such a team twice.” I mean, who knew he could play the diplomacy game as well as he plays the tactical one? But let’s be honest, it’s not the press conference without a bit of backhanded praise, is it? Classic move, mate.
First Half Slip-ups
Ah, the first half! According to Reis, it was more like a can-can dance gone wrong than a football match. “We could not manage to stay calm in the first half,” he lamented. Look, if being calm were the key to success, then every yoga instructor would be a Premier League manager! But bless him for sticking to his guns; they certainly showed a different face in the second half. Perhaps someone slipped them a bit of chamomile tea at halftime?
Communication Breakdown
You know what they say – communication is key! Reis pointed out a rather comical reality that all football fans are painfully aware of: “We conceded a goal like this by mistake against Göztepe…” Oh, Thomas, it’s like watching a dog chase its tail. It’s funny until you realize it’s chasing something it will never catch – thanks to its owner not realizing it needs to go outside! He emphasized that communication on the pitch must improve to avoid such blunders. And here I thought a good ol’ shout and a point would do the trick!
The Mourinho Moment
In a plot twist worthy of “EastEnders,” Reis threw in a cheeky nod to José Mourinho, saying, “I wish him good luck in the rest of the league.” Aww, how sweet! Nothing like a little manager love. “If they had scored the third goal, maybe the match would have ended there,” he mused. Forget the players; the real drama was the encounter of two tacticians in the same room. Can you imagine the tension? Perhaps he even asked Mourinho for advice on how to deal with press conferences—because let’s face it, they are tougher than some matches!
Keeping the Faith
Finishing on a hopeful note, Reis insisted on the importance of perseverance: “I talk to my team that they shouldn’t give up and lose their faith for 90 minutes.” A brilliant sentiment! It’s like telling a kid that if they believe hard enough, they can fly. But come on, who doesn’t love a bit of relentless optimism in football? Let’s hope it holds true as they gear up for the next matches; after all, every match is a new episode in their very own football soap opera.
Conclusion: The Road Ahead
So there you have it, folks! While Reis may have left the press conference with a few regrets over communication and a dash of Mourinho envy, he’s firmly planted in the belief that resilience and the ability to comeback define his team. Can they step up their game for future matches? Or will they be stuck in the dreaded second-half inferno? Grab your jerseys; the saga continues!
