Superiority cannot be maintained, changes are questioned!

Beşiktaş suffered its first defeat in the league stage, losing 3-2 away to Celtic in its 4th match in the Europa League.

In the match, which ended goalless in the first half, the black-whites took the lead with Olaitan in the 54th minute, could not maintain their superiority, and although they equalized with Orkun Kökçü's elegant goal in the 85th minute, they fell behind 3-2 after 2 minutes and became the losing side.

With this result, Beşiktaş could only win once in its last 5 official matches.

Although the Black Eagles were the leading side in all of these 4 matches in which they lost, they could not maintain their superiority.

In this process, Beşiktaş only defeated Başakşehir 2-0, lost away to Trabzonspor and Celtic, and drew with Crystal Palace and Kasımpaşa.

Beşiktaş, which was only able to keep a clean sheet against Başakşehir, conceded 9 goals in total in this period.

CHANGES ARE BEING QUESTIONED

Black-whites coach Vincenzo Italiano's moves in the game, especially in Kasımpaşa and Celtic matches, are also being questioned.

Italiano's moves against Celtic, which surprised him by substituting Olaitan for Oh and then subtracting Trossard for Rashica when the score was 2-1 in the Kasımpaşa match after leading 2-0, were also the subject of criticism.

While Celtic made 3 changes in the 61st minute and found the draw immediately afterwards, Italiano's first move was to include Djalo instead of Agbadou, who made a passing error in the conceded goal. Vlahovic was replaced by Oh at the same minute.

In the 76th minute, while captain Orkun Kökçü, who had recovered from his injury, entered the game after a long break, it was noteworthy that Salih Özcan, one of the best of the match, came out.

Vaclav Cerny, who started the match in the starting 11 but could not show his presence against Celtic, remained on the field for 84 minutes and was replaced by İlhan Fakılı.
