Beşiktaş's head coach Sergen Yalçın made statements after the RAMS Başakşehir match. Speaking about Ersin Destanoğlu, the experienced coach said, "Ersin is a child of this club. He defended the goal of the championship team at the age of 19. You cannot place the burden of a season on a single player. It is not right to evaluate Beşiktaş based on one player. Our fans supported him today and will continue to do so."
In the 22nd week of the Trendyol Super League, Beşiktaş defeated RAMS Başakşehir 3-2 away. The black-and-white team's coach, Sergen Yalçın, made statements at the end of the match.
"IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR EVERYONE"
Evaluating the struggle, Sergen Yalçın said, "50% of the team has changed, we are trying to establish a different game. The players struggled in the first 15-20 minutes, then we recovered and the game came to us. Both sides found goals from individual mistakes, it was equal. The opponent started well in the second half, then we played and found the goal. The opponent scored from a set piece. Our weakness in set pieces was very prominent today, that was the negative side of the day. It wasn't something that happened often, but it was extra today. After 2-2, there were 2-3 positions. Finding the goal in the last minute and winning is gratifying. Başakşehir must have been hard for everyone. They have been very good in recent weeks. It was important for us to win today. We made our fans and our community happy."
"THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NEWCOMERS WAS GOOD"
Speaking about the new transfers who joined the team, the experienced coach said, "The performances of the newcomers were good. They fought a lot. These kinds of matches are not easy, they are tough matches. The players we brought in during the break are all key players, we are playing all of them. Their qualities and performances seem to meet expectations. That's how we see it. It's not easy to expect amazing performance from 5 new players. The players are in an adaptation process. Our team has started to play stronger. This away game is not easy, it's a tough away game. 3 points are pleasing."
"THIS PROCESS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN TWO OR THREE DAYS"
Continuing his remarks, Sergen Yalçın said, "We are trying to establish the game system according to the quality of our players. There are newcomers, this process does not happen in two or three days. We need time. We made the right transfers during the break. Look, not 'good', but right. Moves that are suitable for our club in terms of age, future, and economy. Do the math of those who come and go, you will understand what I mean. Our community has come out profitable."
"HE IS A CHILD OF THIS CLUB"
Speaking about goalkeeper Ersin, Yalçın said, "Ersin is a child of this club. At 19 years old, he guarded the goal of the championship team. You cannot put the burden of a season on a single player. Being a goalkeeper is like this; you make mistakes, you also make saves. There is nothing more natural than a goalkeeper conceding a goal. It is not right to evaluate Beşiktaş based on a single player. Our fans supported him today, and they will continue to do so."
