Necip Uysal, who was informed that he would not be part of Beşiktaş's football plans, shared his feelings on the matter via his social media account. Stating that he loves Beşiktaş more than anything,the 34-year-old footballer said in hisstatement,"I have spent 22 years of my life in the black-and-white jersey.My hopes,my dreams, my joys,and my sorrows have always been with these colors." I have strived to live by the principles I believe in, without ever deviating fromhonesty and integrity.Life has granted me the honor of being the captain of the glorious Beşiktaş team; I will carry this pride for the rest of my life.Throughout these 22 years, I have tried never to fail in showing respect, and I have always done the absolute most I could.

WhenI got upbut I never once acted in a way that would not befit this community. Imay never have been the name to make those highlight reelsperhaps, but while this jersey was on my back, I nevertook a stepback. I came when told to come, I played when told to play, I sat when told to sit. Football historyalways writesthe flashy names at the top of the page, but between the lines, it also writes about that labor.players' names are mentioned. I grew up with the dream that one day my name would be writtenamong them and beside them withoutany questionmarks. I grew upwith that dream. For 22years, not even for a singleday have I been a sourceof unhappiness.

I have tried not to hurt anyone. No matter what happened, I always said 'Beşiktaş first.' I loved Beşiktaş more than anything. I never formed a sentencestarting with'but.' I havecertainly had my mistakes and shortcomings, but I have never been involved in anyaction that would embarrass this community.am. 'Parting is also part of love, because those whopart are stilllovers,' said thepoet. Everybeautiful story has an end, asone realizes when living it. I have never worn any jersey other than black and white in my life, IamI havenever worn a differentcrest on my chest. I will not wear one again, and I will not carry one again. Out of respect for football and my 22 years of hard work, and so that in the future I can tell mychildren, 'Your father neverleft anything unfinished,' I will,until the end of the season, with the consideration my club has shown meI will continue my training wherever and however it may be. Regardless of the circumstances at the end of the season, I will end my career in this jersey," he said.

"I wanted to call my coach and get his opinion, but I couldn't reach him."

Emphasizing that he has no demands from Beşiktaş, the experienced player continued hiswords asfollows:

"People talk. People sthings. But what matters is whathas been experienced. Know that in the conversation held with me, no information other than that I was 'excluded from the squad' was shared. When the subject was conveyed, I asked for understanding in order to make my personal plans and to end my football career in this jersey at the end of the season,but I was met with a negative response.I did not have any demands from Beşiktaş, but contrary to what is being described on some social media accounts, no options were presented to me.I was asked to quit football right there. Regardless of the circumstances, I believe that communication is veryvaluable. That is whyI wanted to call my coachand get his opinion, but I couldn't reach him.

As Necip, who has spent hisentire career in thisjerseyand served as the team captain, I couldn't find anyone to talk to. On my own behalf, and on behalf of my club,II am sorry. If you are going to support or criticize me, I would like you to do so in light of thesefacts. From the moment I sawthenews on social media, I have beenI think about whether I have any regrets. I have no regrets, I have some heartbreak, but that too will pass. A little bit of kindness would have made everything look rosy, after all... I am Necip Uysal. To every fan who has reserved even the smallest place in their heart for me, to those who have contributed to my development, I am grateful.to my coaches who have contributed,to my executives, I thank youverymuch.

Pleaseforgive me. I am Necip Uysal. Know that I loved these colors very much. In this jersey,I experienced happiness I could not even dream of. And from this moment on, I want this matter to be closed quietly. To this community, to this clubMay no harm come to the club. I, Necip Uysal, and the final sentence pouring from my heart, if you will allow me: I did not want it to end this way."
