- Both in UAE and in Turkey it feels like our opponents take game against us like decisive ones. Maybe they get bonuses or something. If they used VAR they would have played outnumbered. We’re getting ready for UPL and Europa League, so we have different tasks. Meanwhile our opponents try to prove something in friendlies. That’s weird.
- Did they play roughly?
- Not just against me, but against our whole team. Sometimes they foul roughly deliberately.
- How important was it to win today?
- When you take the field and they play roughly against you, your self-respect switches on. You want to win by all means.
- Were you nervous when taking the penalty?
- The shot wasn’t really good. I don’t usually take penalties, bit I was charged-up a bit, so guys let me do it.
