“-I am basically a central defender, but I can play anywhere in defence. It is up to the coach where he puts me.
-When we concede a goal, it’s not one player’s fault but it’s everyone’s. Therefore, we have to play defence as a team.
-In terms of offence, there is a difference between Spanish and Turkish football. While planned offensive plays take priority in Spain, Turks pay more attention to individual skills, power and speed.
-One of my strongest points is my accurate long-balls which trouble opponents’ defence, especially when we counterattack. At one time, I used glasses on the pitch.
-My idol in football is Diego Godín of Uruguay who plays centre-back for the Italian team Cagliari. I work hard to be like him.
-I accepted Beşiktaş’ offer without any hesitation because it was an important step for my career.
-Istanbul is a great city to live in. People are always warm and friendly. In many ways, it is similar to Madrid but with a unique culture of its own.”
