"Whatever could be done with this team at these four matches, which I had, it was a difficult time for me to keep them together. Because Bandovic mostly selected it, he brought those boys. But naturally, when he left there, the model was not there. And so, to bring them together, to keep them happy and motivated, was a big task for me. For me, the results were next. So, I think I've done the job in that way, like keeping them, motivating them and making those matches competitive. But, I have to step forward from that is getting results. I have to keep doing this, and naturally, we will start getting results in my way," Pasha stated during the post-match presser.
