Beşiktaş defeated Ukrainian representative Dynamo Kiev 3-2 in the first match of the UEFA European Conference League Play-Off Tour. After the match, Salih Uçan, midfielder of the black and white team, made a statement to the press.
Expressing that he is happy that Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov made the final, Salih Uçan said, “It was good for him. Bakhtiyor started at left-back. He entered the game as a left-back, but continued as a left-back. He also made the final. It was a very good start for him. “I’m very happy for him and for my team,” he said.
“THE MOST IMPORTANT GROUND”
Saying that the ground is very important in playing football, Uçan said, “The most important thing is the ground. It is really not easy to control the ball on the ground, no matter how hot or cold the weather is. Because the ball bounces. You cannot throw the ball you want. You will hit the ball right away. The ball bounces, both from above and from above. “Sometimes, the ground can look beautiful on TV, but the ground is different inside the field. Even bad ground causes more fatigue and injury to the players. But I think we got over it well,” he said.
“WE WILL ANALYZE OUR COMPETITOR BETTER”
Stating that they will analyze the opponent better in the second leg, Salih Uçan said, “We will analyze our opponent better. I will tell you what I feel on the field today. Especially the opponent pulled us on and played long ball. We will analyze them more. As I said, we want to analyze them well in the second match and pass the tour together with our players, coach, fans and management.”
