Critical move from Italiano at Beşiktaş following 3 defeats

Making an effective start to the season, Beşiktaş managed to qualify for the group stages in the Europa League while remaining in the title race in the Süper Lig. The black-and-whites have won 10 of the 13 official matches they have played so far without any draws, while leaving three matches with defeats.

Beşiktaş, which defeated Zalgiris 3-0 in the first leg of the Europa League play-off round, was beaten 1-0 by the Lithuanian representative in the return leg. Since the round was passed, this result was mostly evaluated as "complacency" in club circles.

The two defeats in the Süper Lig sparked a different kind of debate. In the matches lost 1-0 to Alanyaspor and 3-2 to Amed Sportif, the view that refereeing decisions influenced the outcome came to the fore among the management and the community.

It is stated that head coach Vincenzo Italiano is trying to keep his team out of these debates. The Italian coach's priority is to ensure that refereeing controversies do not negatively affect the players' motivation and on-field concentration.
