Beşiktaş football player Orkun Kökçü spoke after the match against Fenerbahçe in the Ziraat Turkey Cup. Criticizing the decisions made by the referees, the national player said, "El Bilal steps on the ball, but the next day in the Fenerbahçe match, it doesn't happen. That also affects our psychology. When I see such a decision, I hold myself back. It definitely prevents me from playing at my best. Hopefully, we will find a solution."
Beşiktaş player Orkun Kökçü made statements after the Ziraat Turkey Cup match against Fenerbahçe, which ended 2-1.
''THERE WERE SOME UNFORTUNATE EVENTS''
Evaluating the match, Orkun Kökçü said, "We started very well, we had control. We had the dominance. In the end, with a nice last-minute goal... It became even more enjoyable. The victory, 3 points, the derby is important. There were some unfortunate events during the season. It was nice to end this year with 2 victories. There will be a short holiday, then a camp in Antalya. We will prepare ourselves well for the second half there. We will return with better performance and results." he stated.
''IT AFFECTS OUR PSYCHOLOGY''
Continuing his words, Orkun Kökçü said, "In the last Fenerbahçe match, I received a red card, yes that might be true. In the Trabzon match, in a normal intervention, can there be a red card immediately! This also affects the player's psychology. I am afraid to enter the match. The referee can send me off if he is right, but they immediately go to VAR. El Bilal steps on my foot, but the next day in the Fenerbahçe match, nothing happens. That also affects our psychology. When I see such a decision, I hold myself back. That also completely prevents me from playing. Hopefully, we will find a solution." he expressed.
