Beşiktaş coach Vincenzo Italiano, who defeated Gençlerbirliği 3-0 at home in the 11th week of the Trendyol Super League, made evaluations after the match.
Stating that they started the match well and that he was satisfied with the performance of his players, the Italian coach said, "I think we entered the match well. Our approach was good. The concentration was good. We took the advantage of having 1 more player. We were also good in the 11 vs 11 sections. Vlahovic was good, Trossard did a good job. I congratulate my players."
Drawing attention to their performance in the home field, Italiano stated that they wanted to solve the away problem and said, "Everyone knows very well what kind of spirit we have in the home field and how we have stepped up the gear. We are having a problem in the away game, we will solve it. We got 3 plus points. We are entering the national break calmly."
Expressing his satisfaction with Trossard's performance, Vincenzo Italiano said that his player can be effective in different regions.
The Italian coach said, "Trossard was very good today, I liked it very much in the Celtic match. He played closer to the inside today. He also made an assist. He does a very good job on the wings and inside. He is a very effective one-on-one, smart player. I congratulate him."
Reminding that they will be away from their players for a while due to the national break, Italiano also touched upon the fixtures after the break and concluded his words as follows:
"I am sorry about the international break. The players will leave us. We will not fix some things in the meantime. There are difficult away games after the international break. I expect the players to return immediately. We must be better than before, it will be a new start after the international break."
Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Italiano said, "I think we played the same game today as we did at the beginning of the season. We controlled our energy well. That's how we won. We are trying to use the advantage of playing at home. Playing on Thursday and Sunday is something that tires the players. We had tired players today, too. Our opponent played half as many matches as we did. Despite that, we did a good job."
The Italian coach said, "We opened the season at the beginning of July. There is fatigue. We showed a great performance. Despite the fatigue, we started the match well. I think we showed what a great team is like. There are problems we need to fix. We will start working to solve these problems during the international break."
Speaking about the last two matches in which they lost points, Italiano said, "Each match is different. Kasımpaşa had a good form. They came by winning consecutively. They were a team that limited the opponent well. They did a good job that day. I think we played well for 70 minutes in the Celtic match. We could have done more in that match. Today we needed the quality of Trossard and Vlahovic. The back side did a good job, too. Everyone did their best. Since each match is different, their training is also different. In the best way possible." "We want to do our job," he said.
Speaking about Leandro Trossard, who passed three goals in the match, the Italian coach stated that the black-and-white player was a new solution for him in the midfield and said, "I want to congratulate Trossard. He did a great job in the midfield. I want to work with him again on these issues after the international break. Because he provides us with great help in the center. He offered us a good option, a solution. He is already a very experienced, good player. I want to work with him even more in this regard."
Referring to the need for all players to be ready, Italiano said, "We need everyone, everyone needs to be involved. The time the players receive is also very important. Sometimes, when you make these rotations, you can compromise on quality and dynamism. These are normal. Fatigue must also be taken into consideration. We left some points in the league, but we are still continuing as the pre-season programming is. There will be many matches after the national break. We need to do a good job here. We have an away problem. We are working on it and we will solve it."
"Today's victory gave morale to the community before the international break. You have players who will go to the national teams, but one of the most important tests of the season for Beşiktaş will be the Galatasaray derby after the national break. Will it pose any obstacle in your planning in order to preserve the team's integrity in this process and to prepare physically for the derby in the best possible way?"
Vincenzo Italiano: "Some players will not play in the Konya match, before the Galatasaray match.
Of course, we have difficult matches after the international break, we know that. We will play away, this is something we need to improve.
