Beşiktaş defeated Mısırlı.com.tr Fatih Karagümrük away with a score of 2-0 in the 14th week of Trendyol Super League. After the match, Black-Whites Coach Sergen Yalçın made a statement.
HERE ARE SERGEN YALÇIN’S WORDS:
The win was very important, let me tell you that. Our team was going very far statistically in the last weeks. It was not highlighted because the results were bad. Everyone was waiting for things to go wrong, for us to criticize and hit them. We were giving these guys a lot of leverage so that they could talk. The team played well today, the fight was good.
We try to evaluate the players in the best possible way. We do not have a very large staff. The training sessions are positive, the atmosphere in Ümraniye is good, the friendship atmosphere has started to get better. The psychology of our players started to improve. When I cannot reflect the game played on the score, my players can be affected and they follow social media. We try to keep their morale high as much as we can.
Our newly established committee is also very helpful. We are doing actor studies. Players are constantly watched all over Europe. We definitely do not plan to buy players from Türkiye. The news in the press is not true. They are trying to hit us from there. It’s not the players we’re interviewing. When the time comes, we will tell you about the players we met.
Offense… Look, offensive variations… They say that Beşiktaş does not have offensive variations. Come on, do it yourself, you know so much. The players do the attacking themselves. Edge variations are not difficult things, they already know them. Individual talent comes to the fore. When Cengiz gets the ball, I cannot tell Cengiz what to do, it is the individual talent of the player. Defense organization is more important. Attack variations depend on talent, we are working on it, but talent has more impact.
I hear so many strange things about the team and I can’t understand them. I do a job, I either succeed or fail. There is no other style here.
We wanted time, we need time. We need to change the team and the player. Transfer periods are very valuable to us. We need a minimum of 2 transfer windows. A little time, a little time. So wait. The game is changing, the results are starting to come. It just takes some time.
STATEMENT OF RAFA SILVA
Yalçın also made statements about Rafa Silva. “If he wants to train with the team, let him come,” said the experienced coach, adding, “Rafa Silva is currently training alone. If he wants to train with the team, we are there. There is no problem. However, I have said it before. He does not want to play. The issue has nothing to do with us. If he thinks of playing football again, our door is open. He is welcome to come.”
