Deniz Gul after assist, strong display: “Grateful, fans are incredible” | OneFootball

Deniz Gul left the match with victory secured, after providing the assist for Gabri Veiga’s goal and delivering a simple yet revealing message about what the team showed on the pitch. After the game, the forward highlighted how the group dealt with the draw at half-time, praised the move in which he set up the first goal, and did not forget the connection with the fans. In the end, he was already looking ahead to the team’s immediate response and assured: “We have to recover from this game first.”

Looking back on another competitive night, Deniz Gul spoke directly, without exaggeration, focused on the essentials: the team, the win, and what comes next. His tone was that of someone taking the moment in stride without getting carried away by euphoria, underlining one central idea throughout his words: the job was done, but attention is already on the next test.

Asked about the victory and how the team reacted to an even first half, the forward highlighted the group’s calm in a moment that could have created anxiety. His reading was pragmatic and based on the response after the break.

“It was a very important game and it was level at half-time, but I felt the team didn’t feel any pressure because of that,” he said. “Then we scored two goals.”

Between the lines, the image that emerged was of a team that did not lose its shape in the context of the game and knew how to wait for its moment. Gul valued emotional stability more than drama, opening the door to an equally objective analysis of the move in which he had a direct role.

When the conversation turned to Gabri Veiga’s goal, Deniz Gul described the move without embellishment and shared the credit between the decision he made in the moment and the finish. Rather than dwelling on the individual action, he preferred to place everything back in the context of the result.

“I didn’t think much, just to go for it, and it was a good finish from Gabri,” he explained. “It was an important goal, the first one, but the win was even more important. It was a good assist and a good shot from Gabri.”

His remarks clearly show how the forward sees his place in the team: he recognises the importance of the moment, but refuses to turn it into an isolated episode above the collective. The assist is a valuable detail; the win remains the centre of it all.

There was also room to look toward the stands, in a brief but eloquent comment about the atmosphere around the team. Faced with the applause, Gul responded with gratitude.

“Grateful to the fans, they’re incredible as always.”

It is a short sentence, but enough to reflect the connection he felt around the pitch. And from that energy, he immediately moved on to the urgency of the schedule, without letting the night end there.

Speaking about what comes next, with several key decisions still to come and the Cup on the horizon, the forward replaced any anticipation with competitive caution. The priority, he made clear, is rest and recovery.

“We have to recover from this game first, because we have a very important one on Wednesday.”

The ending gives the exact measure of his comments: controlled satisfaction, recognition for what was achieved, and no distraction in the face of the next commitment. For Gul, the night brought applause and direct influence on the scoreboard, but it ended summed up by the dressing room’s most demanding logic: win and move on.
