Beşiktaş Vice President and Football Branch Manager Emre Kocadağ made a statement before the friendly match played against Mainz 05. Emphasizing that there are two positive issues in the team that make them happy, Kocadağ said, “First of all, we were experiencing a lack of enough players and new transfers for the first camp, which we have been working on for many years and have not been able to achieve. “At this point, we were happy. Secondly, we came with a very young staff. We brought many players from the infrastructure here at the request of our coach and technical team. We saw that these players adapt very well during the training sessions.” “We have witnessed that there are really experienced players and their brothers who have no shortcomings and they adapt. I think a few of them will continue to the Spanish camp. This is a very positive thing for the future of Beşiktaş and Turkish football. There has been a system that has had difficulties in removing players from the Equity system for many years” Türki in ye. Although Beşiktaş is one of the clubs that can do this best, we have been missing in this regard for a long time. We are now gradually reaching the goal of removing a certain number of players from Equity every year. This is the greatest happiness for us,” he said.
“IT WAS AN EXCITING STAFF”
Speaking about the transfer process, Kocadağ said, “We came here by avoiding long contracts, which will not put Beşiktaş under great responsibility in the transfer process. Our technical team and our sporting director, our scout team, they started their technical work since last year. We realized these at the end of the season. Actually, we can say that we transferred our first players. It was a good transfer period. We added the players we wanted to our squad. Our teacher is satisfied, The technical team is satisfied. I think there are transfers that excite our parties. There is a team understanding that adapts in this process during the camp period and our teacher really needs to fight for each other. I see this light in new transfers as well. I hope for the team. I hope Beşiktaş fans are also hopeful. I’m thinking. It was an exciting cast. Our teacher will see the deficiencies and we are trying to be ready for the league. There will be a Beşiktaş ready for the league,” he said.
“WE HAVE NOT CLOSED THE BOOK IN BOTH LOCAL AND FOREIGN TRANSFER”
Stating that they did not close the transfer book, Kocadağ said, “Work continues on these issues. There are a few players other than the centre-back. We have not closed the book in both domestic and foreign transfers. The work continues. As soon as the teacher sees the shortcomings, he will report his request and we will take the necessary steps at this point.”
When asked about the transfer of Rıdvan Yılmaz, Kocadağ said, “There may be new offers related to Rıdvan. Rıdvan is a young brother that we really work for and he also works for Beşiktaş. We will decide what is good for him, what is good for Beşiktaş. “For the time being, if a new offer comes in, we will consider it like the previous offers, there is no problem at that point.”
“Hopefully, we will move forward on the road to the championship, ALL TOGETHER”
Sending a message to the fans as well, Kocadağ said, “They came from many parts of Europe and destroyed the stands. They are always behind the team. At this point, they should never let us feel their shortcomings. This is an igniting force for us. I hope we will move forward on the way to the championship together,” he said.
