Beşiktaş Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Speaks on Passionate and Fighting Team News
After the match against Kayserispor, Beşiktaş coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shared his thoughts in a press conference. Expressing his happiness for the 3 points obtained, Solskjaer reflected on the team’s performance throughout the game.
“In the first half, we played well. We pressed well and had possession of the ball. However, we failed to score enough goals. In the second half, Kayserispor had more possession and our pressure decreased. We made the situation difficult for ourselves. Everyone in the team showed great spirit and character. I want to congratulate our defense players. We showed good character. As a coach, it’s nice to see that. I saw a passionate and fighting team. Mario’s goal was also very beautiful. I congratulate him,” Solskjaer said.
Speaking about the team’s need for physical development, Solskjaer emphasized, “We played 3 matches in almost a week. There is a bit of fatigue. We know that the team needs to improve physically. We have to work on physical development. We don’t need to improve mentality. Our players showed a fighting spirit. I don’t like to bring in the third defender.”
Highlighting the importance of focusing on both the Ziraat Turkey Cup and the league, the Norwegian coach pointed out, “The league is in our control. When we earn points, our goal of going to Europe is within our control. The Cup can be a bit unpredictable. Anything can happen at any moment. It’s not guaranteed like the league. Europe is a big goal for us. We need to focus on the league as well. We have quality players. The league is a battlefield where we cannot lose our focus.”
Overall, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reflections on the game against Kayserispor shed light on the team’s performance, challenges, and aspirations for the season ahead.
