Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Yalçın stated that he considered the protests against him normal and said, “The fans may shout for resignation. It is very normal for me to take responsibility for failure. We have 2 matches ahead of us. It would not be right to quit. If they allow, we have to play 2 matches. We will make some evaluations in this process. If the fans want us to quit, we will, so they should not have any doubts.” he said.
Evaluating the match, Yalçın expressed their sadness and said, “Our last goal was to win the cup, but as of this evening, we could not achieve it. There is no need to comment on the game. We lost a match in which the opponent did not have an accurate shot. Unfortunately, these things can happen to people in football. Our players are also demoralized. They were very concentrated, but sometimes in football, you do not get what you want. There are 2 matches left in the league. They are not the target match either. We gave the impression of being the team that was superior throughout the game and trying to score goals. The only accurate shot of the opponent was a penalty. Kids.” “They fought well. The luck factor is also important in football. We are used to this penalty game. It also happens to us in derbies. I do not find it normal that the referees try to put the opponent into the game. It is very interesting that the referees are so negative towards us and try to keep the opponents in the game.” he said.
Emphasizing that a restructuring has been carried out in Beşiktaş, Yalçın said:
“This is not the first time we have been eliminated. Such results should be considered natural. I find the reaction of the fans normal. The fans want to win trophies, but we cannot always achieve what we want in life. We always play with the same players, we do not change the squad. Last week, we received reactions in the Gaziantep match because of the rotation. Unfortunately, there is a lot of criticism. I am trying to do my job in the best way. There was a change at half-time. Maybe such a change has not happened in history. I think it is a very correct change. I said before that we will not have an easy season. Things are getting better over time. I think we have recruited good players, we have gathered the team, but this is normal. The fans want short-term success, but Beşiktaş’s goal is to always win the cup. This year, the fans are right to protest. We are respectful to them. We know what needs to be done for the championship.
