Aragones Admits : "We Just Didn't Play Well"

Fenerbahçe manager Luis Aragones spoke to the press after his team's 2-1 loss at the hands of Bursaspor on Friday evening. The Spanish coach admitted that the team has not been performing well and that the five points dropped in the last two weeks have put them in an even tougher position.

The Yellow Canaries boss began his post-match press conference at Bursa by stating that his team had dropped five points in the last two weeks. "These have been games in which we haven't been able to play well," admitted Luis Aragones. "Today we were able to find the goal and it stayed like that for a long time; but then we conceded goals," he said.

Luis Aragones said he didn't have a clear vision on the position Bursaspor earned a penalty-kick. "But the truth is, we didn't play well," admitted the Fener boss. "And now our job has become a bit more difficult," stated the experienced coach.

Aragones was then reminded of something he had constantly repeated in the past few weeks. "What I meant in saying the last five or six weeks will determine who wins the Championship was that we would be two or three points either in front of or behind the top of the table," answered Aragones. "I hadn't imagined this," he admitted. "But after these games, we can see that we've lost a few things," added the Fener boss.

"After scoring today, we wanted to play counter-attack football, but we couldn't do that properly," claimed Luis Aragones. "On the other hand, our opponent was doing things the right way," he said. "We couldn't take control of the play," admitted the Yellow Canaries coach.

"We have made too many bad passes in the last two games," admitted Luis Aragones. "If you lose the ball this much, you're bound to receive many attacks on your goal," he explained as he ended his words on Friday evening.

Meanwhile, Bursaspor coach Ertuğrul Sağlam thanked his players for their performance and stated that they deserved to win against Fenerbahçe.
