Beşiktaş head coach Sergen Yalçın made statements after the Corendon Alanyaspor match. Commenting on the summer transfer window, Sergen Yalçın said, 'A difficult summer period awaits us. There will be squad building and a change. We plan to compete for the target next season and we are organizing our efforts accordingly.'
Beşiktaş, who advanced to the semi-finals by defeating Corendon Alanyaspor 3-0 in the Ziraat Turkey Cup quarter-final, stated that their only goal is to win the cup, according to head coach Sergen Yalçın.
''WE HOPE TO BRING CUP HAPPINESS''
Speaking at the press conference after the match, Yalçın said, "The cup is our most important goal. Our only thought is to win the cup. Although some parts of the game were difficult today, my players showed a good reaction. They played well. We had chances. We are satisfied with tonight. We will look ahead. We will continue our path in the cup and hopefully bring cup happiness to our fans and community in a bad season."
''A SQUAD RESTRUCTURING AND CHANGE WILL OCCUR''
Yalçın, stating that the cup goal does not create pressure on him, used the following expressions:
"We have won it before. It won't be our first time. Beşiktaş has been winning cups for years. The cups Beşiktaş wins do not create stress for anyone. Big communities already do this both in the league and the cup. We are going through a difficult season in every aspect. Since I arrived, I have had to deal with problems and issues. Solving the problems of the last 5 seasons is not easy. We are dealing with everything. We are slowly approaching the solution stage. I had said we need 2-3 transfer windows and time. When you are unsuccessful, you don't have time to fix these things. Winning a Turkish Cup here will somewhat relax our fans and buy us time. A difficult summer awaits us. There will be a squad restructuring and a change. We plan to aim for the target next season and we are working accordingly. We ask for a bit more time and patience from our community and fans. Beşiktaş fans always support their team. We want to feel that strength in bad times."
FENERBAHÇE AND GALATASARAY'S ELIMINATION
The experienced coach noted that the elimination of Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray from the cup was a surprise, saying, "We did not expect them to be eliminated. Football is a very difficult game. You need to do the right thing on the field, fight, and win. Football is a game very open to surprises. Their elimination from the cup seems a bit surprising."
