Orkun Kökçü: "Our Performance Was Not Enough"

Following dropping points away at Alanyaspor in the Trendyol Super League, Beşiktaş team captain Orkun Kökçü made sincere and self-critical statements to the broadcaster after the match. Stating that they knew beforehand the match would be tough, the experienced star said, "We knew it was a difficult away game. Weather conditions are a bit harder here at the start of the league, but that can never be an excuse for us. I don't want to say 'dominate the game', but we were generally the side setting up the play. In these types of matches, you need to find the 1-0 early so you don't face such a surprise situation."

Emphasizing that he does not like to make analyses right after the heat of the match, Kökçü expressed that they are very upset as a team due to the result. Touching upon the tough fixture ahead and their European schedule, the successful midfielder concluded his words by saying, "I don't analyze right after the match, but we are truly upset. We have a critical European play-off match ahead. We want to go out there with self-confidence and then continue with the same momentum in the league matches. But to be honest, the performance we showed today was not enough for a victory."
