After the match, Beşiktaş Manager Bernd Schuster talked to the press:

“I wasn’t expecting to drop three points in this match. We paid dearly for our silly mistakes. There were some other small factors that cost us the game, but a team like us should know how to overcome them on the pitch. One minute after we were reduced to 10 men, they scored their second goal. If we want to be top a contender, we must adjust ourselves to that type of situations. In the closing minutes, we had our chances to scrape a draw, but the ball refused to go in. Tonight, we really missed Quresma and Guti; with them on the line-up, the team plays more confidently and effectively. Despite their absence, we still should’ve won this match because our other players have all the means to do so. Manisaspor managed to convert all their chances in this game. The only good thing from this match is that we never give up and keep on fighting until the final whistle. As I said, if we were a bit lucky, we could’ve walked out with a draw. In short, we had a bad in office tonight, but there is always tomorrow. It is also too early in the season to be alarmed. Ever team has its ups and down and I’m sure we will make for this unaccounted loss in the coming weeks.”
