It's not Sergen Yalçın: Serdal Adalı announced the coach he spoke with during a live broadcast.

Beşiktaş Presidential Candidate Serdal Adalı made statements regarding the technical staff and player transfers he would undertake if elected at the extraordinary general assembly of the black and white club to be held on December 29.

"I HAD NO AGENDA REGARDING BEŞİKTAŞ"

Adalı's statements during the live broadcast on Tivibu Sports were as follows;

"Whenever there was a need, whenever the community called, I responded unconditionally, without plans... Everyone makes a plan, has an agenda in the back of their mind, thinking 'Should I run for this election or the next one?' I had no agenda regarding Beşiktaş; I did not leave it unaddressed when the need arose.

"HIGH TRANSFER FEES ARE NOT THE FAULT OF THE PLAYERS"

We are having the necessary discussions and working. The friends related to transfers are in talks. Mid-season transfers are always difficult, risky, and a bit of luck. In the past, we had fortunate periods. Beşiktaş acquired Fabian Ernst and Yusuf Şimşek during the mid-season and became champions. I want our fans to trust us. The transfer fees paid for 2 players last mid-season were astronomical amounts. I do not want to name names because I will be working with them. They are our players, our values. Moreover, these high transfer fees are not the fault of the players. The club sold them for that amount, and we transferred them. We are unnecessarily making the players targets.

"WE WILL BUILD NEXT SEASON'S SQUAD"

I do not want to make patch transfers during the mid-season. We will make transfers without harming the budget with Beşiktaş businessmen and sponsors. We also need to gradually build next year's squad with the transfers we will make during the mid-season. For that, I need 1.5 years. There are currently examples in Turkey. Transfer 11 stars, bring the best coach in the world, and that team cannot become a team after not playing together for a year. This period must also be taken into account. Our fans are aware of this. We are working to make the team we will create a bit more combative, attacking, and in line with Beşiktaş's old system.

ADAMA TRAORE AND YUSUF SARI TRANSFERS

I would also love a star transfer, but Beşiktaş currently does not have the luxury of making flashy transfers. As of now, I won't do it either, and I say this very clearly. Instead of players with a financial burden of 30-35 million euros over 3-4 years, we have very good young Turkish players aged 21-22 in Europe. We have made a list. Transfers are not made with just any means. Once the player is on the plane, we will inform KAP. We are not interested in Adama Traore. We have not been interested in Yusuf Sarı. A question came asking, 'Will you be interested in him?' First, let’s win this election and then the rest will be easy.

"THE SCOUT CHIEF WILL COME NEXT MONDAY"

The name that will head the scout team has a contract until December 31. He requested that this matter not be disclosed. We have not spoken with Nuri Şahin. I specifically said he is not German to avoid questions. Everyone will find out anyway. He has 2-3 assistants, and I wanted them too. Otherwise, he should have been in Istanbul by now. He wanted to spend Christmas with his family. He will come next Monday.

"HÜSEYİN YÜCEL'S STATEMENTS ARE AMATEURISH"

I do not find the statements made by President Hüseyin correct; I find them amateurish. On one hand, while saying 'these are our values, let’s not cause a loss of value,' after losing a match, he starts with words like 'soulless'... Ultimately, they are also human, and they hear and watch what he says. It is impossible for them not to be affected. Hüseyin Bey probably forgets that he has been co-chairman of the club for a year. Why haven’t they gone to the TFF's door in a year? Did they just now come to their senses? Why haven’t they fought for Beşiktaş's rights?

"I SEE MYSELF AS A FAVORITE"

I see myself as a favorite. The situation Beşiktaş has experienced in the last 1.5 months, the transfer expenditure of 100 million Euros that is not accounted for, the loss of reputation Beşiktaş has suffered in the last 1.5 months... Despite these, if the general assembly elects Hüseyin Bey, I wish him well. I have nothing to say. I have never made a commitment to deceive the community. When I said I needed 1.5 years, they told me, 'We will lose the election, brother, don’t say that.' I will say what the truths are. I will say what I can do. I have never promised something I cannot do, and I have fulfilled every promise I made.

"I SPOKE WITH EDIN TERZIC, THAT CHAPTER IS CLOSED"

Edin Terzic was one of our foreign alternatives. During the meeting, he said he was expecting an agreement with Tottenham. 'I would come with great pleasure. I follow Beşiktaş very closely. It is a community I love,' he said. But his talks with Tottenham... Beşiktaş is not in a position to wait for such people. My style is not to say, 'If that doesn’t work out, I will come here.' That chapter is closed.

SERGEN YALÇIN'S WORDS

I also have a positive view of Coach Sergen, but we are in a chaotic environment, and it would not be right for him to come in this environment. We will continue on our path without changing our football plan. We have not had an official meeting with Coach Sergen at the table. We talked on the phone about 'how would it be this way, how would it be that way.' From now on, there is a definite system that we will implement at Beşiktaş, and there are definite decisions regarding this. We have plans. If Coach Sergen agrees to these plans, we will work with him. But right now, we are not making our plans, programs, and preparations according to Coach Sergen. This is Beşiktaş; there will always be an alternative, a Plan B for Beşiktaş. But once I explain our plans in detail to Coach Sergen, I am sure he will also agree with them."
