Unfortunately, the actions of one of the Antalyaspor team staff made Saglam brandish a red card. This made Nuri Sahin angry.
Interestingly, he was not angry with the referee, but his own team did not stay away from the referee.
Nuri Sahin's action then reaped various comments, the majority of whom defended her. Netizens said the coach's attitude reflected sportsmanship because he did not even support his team's anger despite losing.
I really like views like this. It reflects a smart person who doesn't want to fight," said the account @Marl****d.
My condolences to Sahin for showing the attitude of a great coach, said the @Sseey***o account.
