Beşiktaş's head coach Sergen Yalçın spoke after the match against Kayserispor. Stating that they could make 7 transfers so far, Sergen Yalçın explained the reason for the delay in signing by saying, "We could have signed 7 players, but we need to stay calm. We want to bring the right player in the right way. We are not signing players just for the sake of it."
Beşiktaş's head coach Sergen Yalçın made statements after the 1-0 victory against Kayserispor.
"THERE WAS UNITY AND TOGETHERNESS"
Evaluating the match, Sergen Yalçın said, "It was a tough game, we struggled to break the opponent. We also conceded positions from counterattacks. Winning in the 90+'s was good for the future. The players fought hard, you know we are also short... Despite that, there was unity and togetherness on the field. We switched to two forwards, which is not something we normally do, we took a risk. We were all very happy with the last goal."
"WE HAVE DEFICIENCIES IN TERMS OF GAME"
The experienced coach stated that they have deficiencies in terms of gameplay, saying, "1-0 is a pleasing score but we have deficiencies, we are working seriously with the players. I hope if we can achieve better games and prettier scores, we will be happier. We have deficiencies in terms of gameplay, the kids are diligent and putting in a lot of effort. The team is on the rise, they need to see this clearly. We are also improving physically, which is evident. Opponents are closing down a lot and fighting hard. Kayserispor should also be congratulated, their game plan was correct. Football is a tough game, a bit of luck is also needed... We lost some matches we played like this in the first half."
"CHANGES WILL BE PAINFUL"
Continuing his words, Sergen Yalçın said, "The Beşiktaş community is undergoing a serious change. We must be united during this change process. If we cannot unite, we cannot handle this. It will also become very difficult for us. We need the supporters, they should support this team until the end. The Beşiktaş supporters are supporters of Beşiktaş, not individuals! If the team sees them behind, everything becomes easier. There was a negative atmosphere, the team started to struggle. The players hear these things... Our players need them. This change will be painful, it is not easy. Changes will be bloody, but they shouldn't worry, it will happen."
'WE COULD HAVE SIGNED 7 PLAYERS'
Sergen Yalçın also stated that they could have added 7 names to their squad so far, saying, "We are working on transfers. So far we could have signed 7 players, but we need to stay calm. We want to bring the right player in the right way. We are not signing players just for the sake of it. It has been delayed, but it doesn't happen immediately. We have seen transfers that happened immediately before. We will have to be patient, we will suffer a bit, but in the end, good things will happen. Our supporters shouldn't worry."
