Beşiktaş Coach Vincenzo Italiano: We need to improve further in finishing
Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Italiano said, "We need to improve further in finishing. We need to solve this faster. With these scores, you keep the opponent in the game. This is a risk for us. We are getting into a goal position, but you keep the opponent in the game, anything can happen to you as long as the opponent is in the game. I liked the first half. We could have done better in the second half. 1-0 is a very dangerous score. A corner can be a free kick and that perfect performance can turn into garbage with a ball. More careful and finishing." We need to play by limiting the opponent and not giving them a chance. We prepared for the match well and my players showed it on the field. I congratulate them. he said.
Speaking about the new transfer Dusan Vlahovic, Italiano said, "We will gradually start to give him time, just like Trossard. Vlahovic has been away from the field for a long time. He was working individually. He will be on the bench on Thursday. Players may get injured during this period. You need to manage them well. Vlahovic will be a great help to us, I believe in that. We are putting good pressure as a team. At the same time, my players are running a lot, fighting hard to win the ball. It will be better when Vlahovic comes. I know what kind of game I want to play, my organization is very good." "He is a player who knows everything and shows it on the field by giving his soul. I want my number 9 to score goals and do their job. We have done good work in this period, we need to continue this." he said.
Calling on the black and white fans, Italiano said, "We have a perfect stadium, the fans are our driving force. Come and support us on Thursday. We need to get a good result. Europe is a very important goal for us." he said.
Italiano said that Junior Olaitan and Vaclav Cerny, who were criticized by the fans in the past matches, showed a good reaction and showed what quality players they are.
Eyüpspor Coach Pulat: I don't want to criticize the referee or cast a shadow on the victory, but staying down to 10 men ruined our plan.
Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Özhan Pulat said, "Staying with 10 men ruined our plan. I watched Beşiktaş's Midtjylland matches. They fell out of the game after the 60th minute. In the last match, these drops fell in the 50th minutes. We wanted to establish balance in the game with quick attacks from the moments when the game was down. I do not want to criticize the referee or cast a shadow on the victory, but staying with 10 men spoiled our plan." he said.
Stating that Beşiktaş seems to be the most prepared team in the league, he said:
"I congratulate our opponent. They continue on their way by winning and gaining confidence both in Europe and in the league as of today. Of course, they have caught the mood and found the rhythm in front of an enthusiastic fan in this stadium. We are a newly established team, against a team that is the most ready team in the league, having started the league with only five players from the important story written last year, trying to exist in the league and do business with their new transfers. We made the stance we wanted when the ball was in the opponent's possession. We had difficulty in stopping Beşiktaş's rhythm. In our field. They tried to keep possession of the ball. We balanced the game in the second half. We got out of pressure from time to time against Beşiktaş, who made good front-field pressure. We had to go against the opponent more determinedly and confidently.
Stating that Eyüpspor is a newly established team, Pulat said, "We are a team that has just gotten to know each other. We are trying to design a team whose size is small but whose goals are upwards. We are sorry for losing. We want to go to the Gaziantep FK match in the best possible state." he said.
