Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı makes statements before the derby match against Galatasaray. You can watch these statements live on our news.
HERE ARE SERDAL ADALI’S STATEMENTS:
Serdal Adalı: “We are working with all our strength to improve the financial structure as well as the sports organization. Since we took office, we have made many sponsorship agreements and expanded our sponsor network. We continue our work on behalf of new sponsors. The continuation of existing sponsors is also valuable to us.”
Serdal Adalı: “Galatasaray derby… Tomorrow we will play a very important derby for our community, for Turkish football. Coming to this match, we had an undefeated streak of 13 matches in the league, and we are coming by winning our last 4 official matches. The form of our players is increasing. Our fans have started to see the Beşiktaş they desire. We want to continue this positive trend in front of our great fans and give our community a derby victory.”
Serdal Adalı: “I wholeheartedly believe that our players will win this match. Everyone is ready for this match.”
Serdal Adalı: “While the score is 4-1 and the match is almost over, it is very meaningful to me who the rival football players are who aim to provoke our players. We can more or less guess the purpose of those who intend to raise tension in such a match and take it off the field. I leave these cheap provocative actions to the discretion of the Rizespor president and coach. I have no doubt that they will do what is necessary.”
Serdal Adalı: “Ozan Ergün is a young referee and has no big match experience. We also support the Federation’s trust in young referees. We believe that young referees will solve the referee problem in Turkish football. We will follow the referee management in the Galatasaray match. We have always been right in the matches where we made this warning in the past years.”
Serdal Adalı: “I also know the problems experienced in the VAR application and I have conveyed them to the TFF management one by one. I have no doubt that they will do what is necessary. This time, I want our warnings to be taken into consideration, the one who deserves to win and to have a derby where the referee is not talked about after the match. I trust my team, my players, the technical staff and the fans. I want it to be a good derby where football is talked about.”
Serdal Adalı: “I met with the TFF President yesterday. It happened spontaneously. I couldn’t get well soon. I conveyed the VAR issue. This is not only our problem, it is the problem of Turkish football and I have no doubt that they will do what is necessary.”
Serdal Adalı: “I always say it. There were times when I thought the fans were right, let alone getting angry. I would protest that too. This team will improve. It was not a bad team at the beginning of the season. It was a deficient team. By making better reinforcements, we can reach the point we want this year, we have the Turkish Cup in front of us and we want to get the cup. I hope we will get it. We want to reach the highest places we can in the league.”
Serdal Adalı: “The Kocaelispor match had an important feature. We had problems in the previous away game. I had to be in this away game, it was necessary. I had to be there. I did what was necessary. If the need arises again, I will go to the other end of the world with my fans.”
Serdal Adalı: “There is no bonus we said before the match for the derby. There are numbers we determined in the dressing room after the match. It will be like every match, I guess we will give a bonus after the match, in line with the opinions of the technical staff and the coach, but there is no specific number determined.”
Serdal Adalı: “We support our young referees, they may make mistakes. The place where they will be minimized is the VAR room. If you are aware, I have been talking about the VAR issue for 2-3 months. There are points we agree on with the TFF. I do not think we will reach a point without solving the problems in VAR.”
HE TALKED ABOUT TRANSFERS
Serdal Adalı: “The success here is not so much in recruiting players, but in identifying them and making this squad planning. We do not have the opportunity to throw Sergen Hodja and Serkan Reçber to the other side in this regard. They made a great selection and very good squad planning. All that was left to me was to pick them. Maybe we solved many things in the last week. I would like to thank Serkan Reçber and the coach separately.”
Serdal Adalı: “Spring does not come with a flower. It has to be sustainable. There is a good system and as long as we make the transfers according to this system, Beşiktaş will continue to make the right transfers. The point here is the system.”
Serdal Adalı: “The contract in Dikilitaş is at the stage of signing. The issue of leaving the Banks Union, everything continues within the framework of a plan and program. There is nothing wrong. We will leave the Banks Union on Monday. There is no problem. We can leave the Banks Union on Monday if we want. We have put this in a plan. They should rest easy, if we want, we can leave the Banks Union tomorrow, but it is better to do this within a system.”
Serdal Adalı: “There have been unfair criticisms against those in the current squad. I meant it very much, I wanted to say that it is hard when a lot of pressure is put on Orkun, but I always believed in Orkun. He gave his own answer on the field. From time to time, football players can have bad periods, it does not mean that they are bad football players.”
