Beşiktaş drew 1-1 with Corendon Alanyaspor at home and lost 2 points. Halim Okta, the technical manager of the Black and Whites, made a statement after the match.
Okta said, “We are very sorry that we could not win. We could not reflect all of what we thought before the match. We are going through very difficult days as a club. The players also have physical and mental fatigue. Some of our players have been on a busy schedule since the beginning of the season. Some players have just started playing, they are missing matches. “We think this break will be very good for us. I hope we will start the second half much more ready and dynamic. Our hopes will be in this direction.”
Beşiktaş Technical Officer Halim Okta said that the administrative troubles experienced by the club also reduced the motivation of the players.
“We are sorry we couldn’t win. We couldn’t play as well as we wanted. We had a few chances but we couldn’t take advantage of them. Sometimes luck works in difficult times. We made changes to the players due to injuries and the players not being able to continue the match in line with their wishes,” he said.
Okta answered the question about why Arthur Masuaku, who has been subjected to the reaction of the fans in recent weeks, was taken into the game by saying, “We took him in because Bakhtiyar Zaynutdinov wanted to leave the game. Our doctor said in the first half that he might not be able to continue.”
“PLAYERS FEEL BAD”
Pointing out that the administrative problems in the club and the congress process also affected the players, Halim Okta said, “It is also difficult for the players. The team had a good start at the beginning of the season. They also feel bad and know what is happening. Their motivation is also low.”
