‘‘Following Black& Whites 1-0 victory against Rizespor, Beşiktaş Technical Director Jean Tigana has made these comments during his press meeting;

By defeating Rizespor who has a critical position in standings, we have moved a step closer to League leading Fenerbahçe. We are also glad that we have been able to increase our point advantage against Galatasaray. Though I am not too thrilled about our performance after our goal but at this stage of the championship race, it must be considered normal. Now we are fully focused on our Cup Semifinal against Fenerbahçe on Wednesday. We will try to win that game and continue on our road to final victory.’’
