Nihat Kahveci harshly criticized Sergen Yalçın after Beşiktaş's draw with Eyüpspor. Kahveci criticized Yalçın's squad choices, the transfer process, and his contradictory statements, while also openly expressing the possibility of Yalçın's resignation for the first time. Kahveci pointed out the inadequacy of Beşiktaş's squad and the transfer process.
In the 19th week of the Trendyol Super League, Beşiktaş drew 2-2 away against Eyüpspor. Although the black-and-whites extended their unbeaten streak to 10 matches with this result, the point difference between them and the top increased to 13. After the match, Nihat Kahveci, who evaluated the game on Kontraspor, made harsh statements targeting head coach Sergen Yalçın.
"YOU'RE PLAYING WITH 7 FOREIGNERS, TAKING 3 OUT OF THE GAME"
Kahveci criticized the squad choices, saying, "A club with a trustee has sent away 7 players from the starting 11. The opponent has a disallowed goal. Beşiktaş is playing with 7 foreigners, and coach Sergen is taking 3 foreigners out of the game. I'm pointing out the number of foreigners."
"HOW CAN THIS TEAM WIN?"
Addressing player performances, Kahveci stated, "Silva is gone, Abraham is gone, Paulista is gone. El Bilal is not on the field. Forget the goal, he can't take the ball and beat a man. How can Beşiktaş win?" emphasizing the inadequacy of the squad.
TRANSFER REACTION: EITHER DON'T TALK OR DO IT
Kahveci harshly criticized the transfer process that has been discussed for a long time at Beşiktaş, saying, "Transfers have been talked about for 4 months. They said, 'The magnificent Beşiktaş is coming.' Either don't talk or do what you say. This is Beşiktaş. I'm getting angry; I can't think of the fans."
"HOW CAN A HUGE BEŞİKTAŞ NOT BRING PLAYERS?"
Pointing out the empty stands and squad deficiencies, Kahveci remarked, "There is no goalkeeper, no center-back, no forward. Let those who are going go, but you haven't been able to bring in a single person for 4 months. A huge Beşiktaş. It's a shame to bring it to this state."
RESIGNATION SIGNAL
Kahveci, who found Sergen Yalçın's statements contradictory, said, "I'm moving towards not being with Sergen anymore. It's almost time for me to say resignation. One day the squad is good, one day it's bad. Is this squad good or bad?" continuing his criticism.
