We could not play well enough to deserve the three points. Akhisar deserved one point. We made a good start and were driving the game well. But we could not bear the psychological strain. I told my players at the half that they must be calm and we had enough time to score and win. So we found the net in the second half and had 30 minutes time to score the winning goal. But unfortunately we could not overcome our anxiety and play well. We still have a chance to get the title. However I must admit that Galatasaray have the aces now. We are in a very bad situation. We must hope to win, and pray for Galatasaray to lose their matches. On whether he was also nervous like the player, Bilic said: "I don't want to say this by including myself. I did my best. But my players were not ready enough and were nervous."
