The Beşiktaş Technical Director, Jean Tigana, said the following in a declaration he made after the Ankaragücü game:

“I am very happy that we got three points in this away game. We had a hard time after we saw two goals in our goal. It is really very good to get back into the game and to reach victory, after these hard times. After we had several bad results in a row, the victory in this away game raised our morale. This victory was very important on the way to Europe.  Especially, the increasing performance of Kleberson and Bobo is positively affecting our team. I think that if we can make the quality of this game continue into the following games, we are going to reach the point that we are targeting in the league. \"
