“I did well, didn’t I?” the young player joked on ‘DAZN’ following the match. “When winning the ball back leads to a goal like that, it’s perfect.” He accepted his coach’s earlier feedback gracefully, stating, “I’m someone who gets criticized a lot anyway, whether it’s by the fans or my coach. I know he just wants to make me better.”
His efforts communicated a strong message. Hütter expressed his appreciation for both Uzun’s performance throughout the match and his remarks afterward: “It’s always about performance. I want him to become a better player. When he plays like that, moments of quality follow. Then he delivers those through balls and wins his challenges.”
Support for Uzun also came from within the squad. Goalkeeper Noah Atubolu praised him in the mixed zone: “Can has done really well in the last two games. Can is a really, really good lad.”
