Ali Tandoğan, one of the former football players of Beşiktaş, made striking statements regarding the agenda of the black-and-whites. Tandoğan stated that the team's star and the fans' favorite, Rafa Silva, wants to leave.

"HE IS DISPLAYING THE BEHAVIOR OF A PLAYER CONSIDERING LEAVING"

Speaking to Radyospor, Ali Tandoğan said, "Rafa Silva scores a goal by dribbling almost 60 meters in the Galatasaray derby. In the Göztepe match, he couldn't hit the empty net from six yards. He missed a goal in the Kasımpaşa match as well. Moreover, he had passing options. If he had passed, his teammates would have scored. But he is working for himself because he thinks, 'I can't be a champion at Beşiktaş, I should show myself more, let me make a transfer.' He is displaying the behavior of a player considering leaving. As a former football player, I can see this," he said.

"MASUAKU IS ONE OF THE BEST LEFT-BACKS IN THE SUPER LEAGUE"

Pointing out that Masuaku, who has been subjected to protests from Beşiktaş fans from time to time, is one of the best left-backs in the Super League, Tandoğan stated, "As good as Masuaku is, Swensson is that bad. I was also a right-back. There shouldn't be such a right-back in a big team. He defends, but he can't use the ball. He constantly goes back and tries simple passes. His ability to bring the ball into play is zero. Beşiktaş gets no benefit from him in attack," he expressed.

"IF BEŞİKTAŞ LETS HIM GO, GALATASARAY OR FENERBAHÇE WILL IMMEDIATELY TAKE HIM"

Continuing his remarks about the experienced left-back, the former Beşiktaş player said, "Masuaku, on the other hand, is the opposite; he is the player who makes the most forward runs and does not make positional mistakes. He is competitive and runs a lot. I think he is the best player in both the league and Beşiktaş. If Beşiktaş says today, 'I let Masuaku go,' Galatasaray or Fenerbahçe would immediately take him," he concluded.

RAFA SILVA'S BEŞİKTAŞ STATISTICS

Rafa Silva has played in 41 matches across all competitions for Beşiktaş this season. Silva scored 14 goals and made 11 assists in these matches. The 31-year-old Portuguese star, who was transferred for free after his contract with Benfica expired, has a contract with the black-and-whites until 2027.
