Trendyol Super League‘of Besiktasdrew 1-1 with Samsunspor at home.

After the match, the coach of the black-white team Fernando Santos made statements.

Evaluating the Samsunspor match, Santos said, “The situation right now is difficult, considering the 3 matches. I think we deserve to win them. We started well, we got the goal. We could have made it 2-3 in the first half. We started the second half well, but the team started to retreat. To prevent this, we used Alex.” “I took it into the game. But we conceded the goal at that time. We tried to react with our hearts. Everyone wanted to win. There is nothing to say.” said.

Santos also said, “Actually, we found very clear positions in the first half, but they did not happen. We were productive in terms of offensive action. Afterwards, this productivity decreased. At half-time, I told our players to step forward. Our opponent scored the goal from a position that was not available, but there are such moments in football. I am satisfied with the performance in the first half. My players worked hard. “Sometimes there is nothing to say.” He made a statement.

“I HAVE NO THOUGHTS OF RESIGNING”

Fernando Santos: “Are you considering resigning?” He answered the question, “Actually, I clearly explained the reason for coming here last week. I do not have any thoughts of resigning. You can think similar to last week. I think I did my job.”

Santos expressed that he was satisfied with the game, even though there were no good results in the last 5 matches, and said, “Actually, the results are bad, I don’t think our game is bad. We played one of the best first halves this season. I don’t think we played bad in the last 5 games in terms of play. Muci said, ‘I want to return to the double striker’ “I took him to the side. Musrati’s rhythm was a little low during Ramadan. He had injuries. Tayyip Talha is trying to recover from his injury. He is a very good player.” said.

“IF WE DON’T GET THE CUP, I WILL TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS”

The Portuguese coach also said, “If the management trusts me, I will continue. But many things need to change. A big change is needed. A project is needed and I talked about it. I am confident in myself. I know how to make the big change and structuring. I can say this clearly, until the cup final I’m here. If we don’t win the cup, I will talk about different things. Actually, I have rarely bought a team in the middle of the season. I came here in January. I am not saying this as an excuse because of the bad results, but I am stating the reality. “He is right in his criticisms. If Beşiktaş is getting such bad results, I can agree with people’s criticisms. We will see what time will tell.”

“I BELIEVE IN OUR PRESIDENT’S PROJECT”

Fernando Santos concluded his words as follows: “When I went to Paok, there was a team that was bad in the league and could not go to Europe. After a bad start, we went to the Champions League. When I came here, there was a similar situation. We got good scores in February and some things were going well.” Afterwards, things turned around. We deserved at least a draw. I constantly motivated my players, but the ball didn’t go where we could make it 2-3. I have experience. I experienced a similar situation in Estoril. The reason I gave these examples is that I came here for the project. I believe in our president’s project. If we start the season badly after a preparation process, I will be the first to think about resigning. “No success can be expected.”
