The new head coach of Beşiktaş, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, made striking remarks about the pressure and chaos in Turkish football during the signing ceremony held for him. Solskjaer also spoke about Fenerbahçe's head coach, Jose Mourinho.
STATEMENT ON MOURINHO
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responded to the question about Jose Mourinho by saying, "I haven't spoken to Jose Mourinho yet. He is a great coach. I look forward to talking to Jose Mourinho again. He is a coach I have a lot of respect for."
CHAMPIONSHIP REMARKS
In response to the question directed at him, "Can this team be a champion next year, can Mustafa Hekimoğlu produce a new Erling Haaland?" Solskjaer said, "We need to look at it realistically. There is a 46-point difference last season and a 20-point difference this season. We should focus on development, and then we should see how far we can go. We need to look at it performance-oriented. Ciro Immobile is 35 years old but still has things to learn. I will help the strikers. It would be unfair to compare him to Haaland; he is one of the best in the world. I spoke with Semih Kılıçsoy this morning. I will help all of them. Haaland wasn't good in aerial duels, but he is in a good position now."
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ABOUT CHAOS IN TURKISH FOOTBALL: MY HAIR HAS TURNED WHITE, NO PROBLEM
The Norwegian coach responded to the question, "The hair of coaches coming to Turkey turns white due to stress and chaos. Are you ready for this pressure?" by saying, "My hair has turned white, no problem (laughing). I spent a total of 18 years at Manchester United. There will always be pressures. We will work day and night to fly like eagles. Dear fans; I know your disappointments and what you want. Let's walk shoulder to shoulder on this path."
