Beşiktaş head coach Vincenzo Italiano stated that losing away from home has now begun to tire and anger him, and said that they need to find a solution to this as soon as possible.
In the 8th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Beşiktaş, who lost 2-0 away to Trabzonspor, head coach Vincenzo Italiano made post-match statements.
''THEY REALLY PLAYED A GOOD MATCH''
Stating that they were not pleased with the result of the match but that he found the game his team produced positive, he said, "We had possession, we were doing good things. We were giving Trabzonspor few chances. At the same time, we were entering the opponent's penalty area a lot and I think we were good. That is why I did not make changes. But then we conceded the second goal. We should not have conceded that goal. I think my players really played a good match. If we had not conceded that goal and had continued, different things could also have happened."
''ONLY THE RESULT WAS NEGATIVE''
Expressing that he generally gets angry at defeats but that he was satisfied with his players' performance in this match, the Italian coach said, "I am very satisfied with today's performance. I did not see a negative performance. Only the result was negative for us. If we are more careful, these are things that can be solved. I think there is great potential ahead of us and that by working we can do much better things."
''WE FELT ORKUN'S ABSENCE''
Emphasizing Orkun's importance to the team, Italiano said, "Orkun is a real leader, a real captain, a real champion. Today we felt his absence. We especially entered the final 20 meters a lot, we entered the opponent's penalty area a lot. I think we missed his final shots, final passes, and game intelligence. If he had been there, perhaps it could have been different."
''THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE''
Touching on the problems they experienced in their away performances, Italiano stated that they needed to find a quick solution to this issue and said, "I think I am a very open and honest person. Away from home, we need to correct some things, make some touches, and find a solution immediately. When your fans are not with you, not being able to win is, I think, not an acceptable thing. If you are a big team, you must play away as you play at home. You must play the same way everywhere and show yourself the same way."
''THE PROBLEM IS A CHARACTER PROBLEM''
Also touching on the reasons for the problems they experienced away from home, Italiano said, "I think the problem is a character problem. We can have problems with final touches and final passes. I think we make mistakes in decision moments and are not concentrated enough. Unfortunately, we do these things away from home. At home we are quite good in these matters, but away from home we lower our concentration and attention. We can have difficulty reading the game. Afterwards, defeats come."
''I CAN SAY IT HAS STARTED TO ANGER AND TIRE ME''
Openly stating that away defeats had started to tire him, Italiano concluded his words as follows:
"The issue of losing away from home has really started to anger me now. I can say it has started to tire me. This is not acceptable. We need to find a solution here immediately. The person who will find the solution is me and my team. For a team to play differently at home and away is really never acceptable."
