Beşiktaş Technical Director Sergen Yalçın made statements at the press conference after losing 2-1 to Trabzonspor. The experienced coach became very angry with a question asked by a journalist. Here are the details...
In the 33rd week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Beşiktaş lost 2-1 to Trabzonspor, and head coach Sergen Yalçın spoke at a press conference after the match.
THE QUESTION THAT ANGERED SERGEN YALÇIN
During the press conference, a question asked by a journalist greatly angered Sergen Yalçın. The question included the statements: "As far as I know, Beşiktaş has gone through a season where they couldn't win a derby for 40 years. Additionally, Beşiktaş is not in Europe. Everyone gives an excuse, but children are crying at Beşiktaş. Today, the broadcaster showed four children trying to be consoled by their fathers... Who is responsible for this failure?"
"YOU'RE EXAGGERATING A BIT, I THINK!"
Unable to hide his discomfort with the question, Sergen Yalçın reacted to the journalist, saying, "You're exaggerating a bit. These aren't very accurate statements for today. Things like children crying in today's match... Those are things that are overly exaggerated. We're not playing a championship match, we're not playing a cup final, don't do this! You're trying to steer the issue elsewhere as far as I understand, but it's not like that. I think you're exaggerating a bit."
