Fethiyespor's head coach Sait Karafırtınalar stated after the match that they are not where they want to be in the league and expressed their desire to improve in terms of gameplay.

In the third week of Group A of the Ziraat Turkey Cup, Fethiyespor lost 3-0 to Trabzonspor away.

In the press conference held after the match, Karafırtınalar talked about the planning they did with the players before the match, saying, "I presented two options to my players before coming here.

We would either defend or play the game.

We chose to defend because we cannot defend wide spaces, that is a fact." He stated that they adhered to the defensive plan for most of the match, saying, "We applied this for 60-65 minutes.

We did not create chances, but we did not give the opponent any chances either.

When we did not concede a goal, there was inevitably a morale drop, and then we conceded goals." Touching on the league situation, the experienced coach said, "We are not in a healthy place in the league.

We want to develop ourselves more in terms of gameplay and play the game." Emphasizing that the Ziraat Turkey Cup is a dream rather than a target, Karafırtınalar stated, "The cup was our dream, not our target.

Here, my players saw what they could do."
