Coach Christoph Daum met with the media Sunday night following his team's 1-0 victory over Antalyaspor.  The Canaries' boss said his team was far from perfect, but indicated that the squad is relieved to end their winless streak.  Daum also changed his tune regarding his team's chances of winning the championship this season.

Fenerbahçe ended their seven-game winless streak Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Antalyaspor.  Afterwards, Christoph Daum spoke with reporters about his team's performance.

"We felt that we deserved to win this match.  We controlled possession, and most importantly, we got into get positions and closed off our goal.  We deserved to win this match," he said.  "We were in a difficult situation before this match.  There was incredible pressure on our players.  In the end, it wasn't easy, but we played well.  We had some good positions.  We did a better job of concentrating, we played well, and we got a good result," Daum stated. 

The coach also thanked the fans Sunday night.  "I want to thank the fans for their support.  For Güiza and the entire team, they supported all of us.  Even though he didn't score, Güiza is fighting for this team.  Every striker can go through a period like this.  We're happy with him.  He will score goals; it will just take time." 

After last week's match against IBBSpor, Daum told reporters that it would be very difficult for his side to win the title.  He was asked Sunday if he still felt this way.  "We have a lot of matches remaining, but if we can achieve results like this, we can win the championship." 

Daum also spoke about the difference today from last week's match.  "I want to congratulate our team.  I'm very pleased with our concentration today.  We controlled possession and closed off our goal.  After going through a difficult period, I'm pleased with our performance today," he said.  "Of course we want to score more goals and get into more scoring positions.  But winning and earning three points was the most important thing, and we achieved our goal.

We've played well at times, but most importantly, I wanted to see us fight.  Tonight we fought hard.  I think the fans are happy with our effort also.  This is a good start for us, but we need to win the next match also.  This is our goal," he said. 

The coach was also asked about the performance of the strikers Sunday night.  "Our strikers didn't shine tonight; they struggled early on, but I felt that they got into more favorable positions later in the game.  Güiza also got into two or three good positions.  Our forwards didn't shine overall though, and that contributes to the struggles of our team.  But everyone fought hard tonight.  Everyone played their best," he said.
