Vincenzo Italiano: 'We threw away 3 points, we can't give them away like this'

Beşiktaş coach Vincenzo Italiano, who lost 3-2 to Celtic in the UEFA Europa League, made a statement after the match.

Here are Vincenzo Italiano's words;

"It was a really sour night, I'm really sorry, I feel disappointed. I think we threw away very important points. We have to be more careful like before. We give too many positions, we make mistakes. We played really well, we just had to be more careful because we really threw away 3 points."

IT IS NOT THAT EASY TO GIVE A GIFT

"I don't want to point fingers, I don't want to blame anyone. At first we were tougher, more careful and we sensed the dangers long ago. Of course you will give positions, but it is not given away that easily! The players performed well, but we conceded 3 goals and threw away the points with 3 goals. I am very angry about this."

I'M SO SORRY

"The players performed well, but we were very soft in defense, not like the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the season, they wanted not to concede a goal, we were more careful in defence. Today, unfortunately, we threw away 3 points. We gave away 3 goals to the opponent. I am very sorry. We had our first defeat in Europe, I think it should not have happened. We have 4 matches ahead of us. We will do our best. I am really sorry. Looking at the performances, we had to win. We should not have made the mistakes in defense, it would have happened even if we had not made these mistakes."

WE SHOULD INCREASE OUR ATTENTION

"If we talk about the changes, Orkun scored a goal as soon as he entered the game. He made a contribution. There were good performances in the last 2 away games, but it was not reflected in the result. There is softness in defense, there is no old hardness. Those changes may not always contribute, but today Orkun scored a goal. When our attention is broken, we pay very heavily for it, we concede goals. We have to fix this. We are the same team. We need to show that game, that defense. We do not have the old toughness in defense, we have to return to it. You can give positions, but such is a gift. "You can't. We have to increase our attention even more."

WE NEED TO FIX IT

"I'm talking about it as a team. Especially the 3rd goal, we had to prevent it before the position arose. They are the last men in the defense. At the beginning of the season, our defenders were more aggressive, biting, taking the ball off the line. He is not there now. We need to fix him. We need to return to the team at the beginning of the season."

YOU CANNOT GIVE A GIFT LIKE THIS
