"Striking Chamberlain words from Serdar Topraktepe"

Serdar Topraktepe, who is serving as the interim head coach in Beşiktaş, made statements after the 1-1 draw against Hatayspor. Topraktepe also spoke about giving Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, who was wanted to be sent off at the beginning of the season but was reluctant to leave, a chance for the first time this season.

"WE DID NOT COME FOR 1 POINT IN THIS MATCH"

Evaluating the match, Topraktepe said, "We did not come for 1 point in this match; as Beşiktaş, we needed to win every game. We are doing our best to correct the course. I saw that the players reacted and fought, but it didn't happen. In the last part of the game, they completely focused on scoring. We will do our best to correct this. We know everything, and I want to say that we are aware of these things." he stated.

"CHAMBERLAIN IS ALSO A PLAYER OF THIS TEAM"

Speaking about the changes he made during the Hatayspor match, the coach said, "Salih Uçan and Tayip Talha Sanuç had injury risks because they hadn't played for a long time. They already sent me a message, and I took them off the field. We could only play Milot Rashica for a maximum of 45 minutes; the injury risk increased after 65 minutes. If he got injured, he could have missed four weeks. Nevertheless, he did his best. Can Keleş, Chamberlain are players of this team; they also need to integrate into the team. We will do something together. Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov is always a ready player. Rafa Silva was incredible. Gedson Fernandes had some positions. We conceded a goal in a position we shouldn't have, but it didn't happen." he concluded his remarks.
