Blauw-Zwart had to settle for a point against Besiktas in extremis. Coach Deila regretted the result afterwards, but was also positive about the game.
"Obviously my player group (and myself) is disappointed with the result," the coach began his account. "On the other hand, there is also the feeling that we could not have performed much better than we did today. Our first half was almost perfect in all aspects and also in the second half we continued to create many chances. Even after the equalizer we didn't let our heads drop and we still went looking for the win. Unfortunately, it was just one of those days when you don't get what you deserve. Then I also think you have to be able to look through the result and be very satisfied with the game played. In the end it comes down to finishing the chances and we failed to do that today. At the end we scored the equalizer after a bad pass from Casper(Nielsen), but nobody blames him. He himself is very disappointed about that moment. The match should have been decided long ago, because when you have more than 10 chances, you have to win the game. However, today it was a combination of bad luck in front of goal, lack of efficiency and an excellent goalkeeper."
Further inquiries were made about the condition of Nusa and Zinckernagel. "Philip(Zinckernagel) was sick today, so we certainly hope to recover him for Sunday's match and the same goes for Nusa (who had to drop out with back trouble). We have to see it day by day."
Finally, people also asked about Jutglà's starting chances. "It is possible that Ferran can start as early as Sunday, but I personally think it might be a little too early. He is improving day by day, so we will see when he is fully ready to start," the Bruges coach concluded. (TM)
