Beşiktaş Head Coach Sergen Yalçın made statements after the 1-0 victory against Çaykur Rizespor.
"I SHOULD NOT THINK THIS MUCH" Evaluating the match, Sergen Yalçın said, "We expected the game to be difficult. This game is not a surprise. The games we played in the first half are not a surprise. However, winning is important. Generally, in our country's football, everything is dependent on the scoreboard, the result. The logic of being right if you win is valid in our country. We are playing with 5-6 Turkish players. No one plays as many as we do. We had 5 youth players on the field. It's not easy, it's hard for them too. They are not players who have been in the field for a long time. It's important for them to fight in a fast-paced game. We gave Taylan a chance after a long time, mistakes happen but it's normal. We started Milot on the bench, Cerny on the other side, then we changed them. Things got difficult when Tammy got injured because we have no players to bring in. We think for 10 minutes when changing players. I am the coach of Beşiktaş, I shouldn't be thinking this much on the sidelines." he said.
"THE BOMB EXPLODED IN MY HAND!" The experienced coach, who made striking statements, said, "Are we successful? No, we are not. Our fans are right, their expectations are high. The conditions are like this right now. Despite all these difficulties, we could have finished with 8-10 more points. We made nearly 8 direct individual mistakes. The bomb exploded in my hand unexpectedly, Rafa Silva. It exploded in my hand. Let's not have a problem, let's not lose the player and the fans, while trying to look good to one and good to another, the bomb exploded in my hand." he expressed.
"RAFA SILVA, 0 OUT OF 10!" Speaking about Rafa Silva's situation, Yalçın said, "I don't want to talk too much about Rafa. The same meal keeps coming to our table, I have to talk. Rafa's training is 0 out of 10! It's not right to say he is training and playing. If he trains like a football player, we will open our door to him. In the current situation, it is not possible for Rafa to have the door open." he stated.
