Topraktepe said, „It was the first leg, the first game of the tour. We knew that Ankaragücü would put pressure on their own field, but we were prepared for it. We couldn’t be aggressive, we couldn’t close the areas against Ankaragücü.“ In the first half, we were superior. However, with the substitutions, we also made individual mistakes in the second half, which we will improve in front of our fans.“ Topraktepe explained that they are focusing on the MKE Ankaragücü match and not the derby they will play on April 27, saying, „Believe me, we are focusing on this game. We will prepare for the Fenerbahçe match starting tomorrow.“ He spoke as if. Finally, regarding Semih Kılıçsoy’s words, „Will Semih Kılıçsoy be in the derby?“ Topraktepe responded to the question, saying, „We included Salih in the team today after a few exercises. We have issues with Semih, Salih’s absence, and the Three Turks Rule. I hope Semih joins us. He has started training, but we have done it.“ „We will continue. It will definitely happen when we come back.“ He used his words. T24.
