Right after the impressive 5-2 win over Kocaelispor, our Technical Director Mustafa Denizli commented on Beşiktaş’s performance:

“Falling behind early in games like this one does not cause a negative impact on our overall performance. The important thing is that we turn the game in our favor before the final whistle. We may find ourselves in similar situations during our future games. We are not going to panic in any way and we will stick to our game plan until the end. This game thought us a good lesson in this sense. Although they are placed at the bottom of the table right now, Kocaelispor is not a weak side. I think we executed well tonight, especially up front, and deserved to win. The player who is in better shape than others will find a place on the starting lineup. However, since the league is a long marathon, almost everyone will get a chance to start, provided that they always remain in top form and they are always ready. I must confess we scored some brilliant goals today. I have to express my congratulations to all my players as they really did an extraordinary job tonight.”
