Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı spoke about the agenda before the Konyaspor match. Discussing the change of team captains, Adalı said, "The issue of team captains has been somewhat exaggerated. There is only one reason for this. It is to have a more official presence on the field, to establish a better dialogue with the referee... To be honest, I was worried after that yellow card in the Galatasaray match. That's why we made this decision."

Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı made statements about the agenda before the match where they will be guests of Konyaspor in the postponed match of the Trendyol Super League.

"THE STONES WILL FALL INTO PLACE"

Speaking about the team's performance, Serdal Adalı said, "The stones will fall into place over time, no one should lose their morale. We are a new team. There is no need to lose morale. We have a very good coach, most importantly, he works day and night. Beşiktaş will recover, no one should worry. Hopefully, we will return from the Konyaspor away game with 3 points, and some things will be on track."

''I WAS VERY CONCERNED AFTER THAT YELLOW CARD''

Speaking about the changes in team captaincy, Serdal Adalı said, "The issue of team captains has been somewhat exaggerated. It came up during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time, and the decision was postponed to this week due to the change of coach. Both Necip and Mert are the captains and older brothers of this team. Wearing a band does not change anything. Both have provided great services to this team for years. There is only one reason for this. It is to have a more official and closer relationship with some incidents on the field, to establish a better dialogue with the referee... To be honest, after that yellow card in the Galatasaray match, I was also very concerned. We sat down and made such a decision. I say again, I told them as well. Both Necip and Mert are the captains and older brothers of this team. The important thing is to ensure that the team has a better dialogue with the referee and the opposing team; there is no other reason."
