In the 17th week of the Süper Lig, Beşiktaş drew 1-1 at home against Alanyaspor. With this result, Beşiktaş, which has fallen 15 points behind the top of the table, has managed only 1 win in its last 8 matches.
Sergen Yalçın, who works as a commentator on Ekol TV, evaluated the match in which Beşiktaş dropped points. Yalçın made highly controversial comments about Beşiktaş's young talent Semih Kılıçsoy.
Yalçın's words are as follows:
"The Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe matches were similar to each other. The scores were the same as well. The play was not very healthy either. Eyüpspor is a tougher team than Alanyaspor. Alanyaspor did not cause Beşiktaş much trouble. Beşiktaş found important positions but could not convert them into goals.
The problems in terms of gameplay continue. Both of them drawing has cleared the way for Galatasaray even further. I had said that Galatasaray would be the champion even when the gap was 3 points.
COMMENTS FROM SERGEN YALÇIN ON SEMIH KILIÇSOY: THEY EXAGGERATED IT TOO MUCH
It is not right to interpret Beşiktaş through Semih Kılıçsoy. He is a very young player, he has many years ahead of him. But they exaggerated it too much. He is not at a level to be this exaggerated. He cannot be a guaranteed starter in this squad. This squad is a patched-up squad in every area. There are problems in the full-backs, in the midfield, and in the forward line. You cannot intervene in all of these at once.
For Semih to reach good places, you need to build a very good team. Neither Mustafa nor he can be showcased in this squad. No one will pay high fees for a player who does not play for the National Team.
So much expectation is being created externally. Everyone expects Semih to save the match. He cannot save the match. That is Rafa Silva's job. Saving the match is Mertens' job. There is only one player in Beşiktaş who will save the match, and that is Rafa Silva."
