Beşiktaş Coach Şenol Güneş made a statement to the Azerbaijani sports media in Baku yesterday. Güneş used the following statements regarding the foreign player decision: “When you talk about the number of foreigners without capturing the essence of the event, you miss the main problem. You will get a good foreign player by paying a lot of money, but is the financial structure of the club suitable for this? If appropriate, take it.
I’m NOT TOTALLY AGAINST
I am not completely against foreign players. Before specifying the number of foreigners, structuring should be done. If there is a five-year plan, let’s start with eleven players, and after five years, let’s go down to seven. Let’s play the imported foreign players on the field. I have a foreign player in form, I say “I can’t play you because you’re not fit for status” that doesn’t happen. Let’s limit the number of staff in five years.”
WE NEED TO PRODUCE
Let’s send the rest of the players to the U-19 team, you can bring foreigners there if their age is appropriate. Thus, we create a pool every five years. When the system settles, you release the foreign number. What happens if you let go of what isn’t there now, what if you don’t? After that, Turkish players are expensive, you don’t produce them. These things are difficult. Everyone says something, decisions are made according to the agenda.”
WE SHOULD BE IN EUROPE NEXT YEAR
Coach Güneş stated that they continue the championship race and said, “We are behind. We will play our matches without looking at our opponents. We will complete the league in the best way and look after it. We could not be in Europe last year, we want to take part in Europe next season. Because I integrate with the Beşiktaş community. I work here,” he said.
THE GREAT FOUR SHINES LIGHT!
Şenol Güneş stated that development and growth would not be possible without investment, and said: “For education, facilities are important, people are important and of course organization is important. If it is started, the rest will come. “There needs to be competition for this. I think the four big clubs in our country shed light on the dynamism of Turkish football.”
