Serdal Adalı: I believe we have been 90 percent successful in our transfers

Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı met with members of the press at the BJK Nevzat Demir Facilities. Expressing that they have come a long way since the day they took office, Adalı said, "We have left two transfer periods behind. I do not think we have been unsuccessful.

We made two transfers during the January transfer window. Everyone calls these transfers unsuccessful. In my opinion, both are very successful. Have you heard of a transfer in the last 4-5 years from which Beşiktaş made money? We transferred a kid whom we could only play for a total of 20 minutes with a profit of 3 million. I wish he had played.

The coach also explained the kid's feelings just now. I claim that we have been 90 percent successful in our transfers this season as well. The coach has no problem with these transfers. There is no situation that would warrant calling a player he lives with every day 'bad'. Many things are being misrepresented. This is not right. We had another coach during the summer transfer window. We had made the player selections according to his system. The scouting team suggested players according to his system. They may not fit very well with the game Sergen Hoca wants to play. This is the biggest problem in coaching changes. But at the point we have reached, we have made 12 transfers to this team.

Sometimes 9 of them are on the field, and they have a new coach at the helm. I more or less anticipated this. In the first weeks, this team needed to work together, to grieve and rejoice together. I told the coach after the Fenerbahçe match as well. Whatever he is doing, it is going in the right direction. If they can extend the 25-minute performance they showed in the Fenerbahçe match to 60-70 minutes, there are few teams in Turkey that could beat this team. There may be some among the transfers who do not fit his system, but that does not mean they are bad players," he said.

"THEY WANT TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF CHAOS"

Stating that a negative economic picture did not emerge during the period when they were not wanted to be acquitted, Adalı said, "The last financial congress was not a congress worthy of Beşiktaş. The supervisory board formed a committee. The first leg listened to those who complained about this business and said 'no, the acquittal was done incorrectly.' They asked for some executives from us. They asked for a few people from the board that manages the supervisory board. Now, whatever the board decides. If you ask me conscientiously, my conscience is clear. There is no such thing as not being able to be acquitted. During the second 20 days when they did not want to be acquitted, no decisions were made, no purchases or payments were made. There is only one reason why they are trying not to acquit that process; to create an environment of chaos and an election atmosphere. But everyone should be sure that the Beşiktaş community does not need such an environment of chaos. We are working on a charter. I invite the friends who came to the financial general assembly and said 'no' to the charter congress. From now on, whoever comes and sits here will be responsible for the financial statement of their term. We will reduce the term of office to 2 years, including myself," he said.

Speaking about the student dormitory project of the black-and-white community, Serdal Adalı said, "We will be the first and only club to build a student dormitory. This is very important for our future, for our children. I thank our President again. We were very pleased that the dormitory is being built. We will build a dormitory worthy of Beşiktaş's name. This situation carries more importance than many issues, including transfers," he said.

"WE WILL LAY THE FOUNDATION OF DIKILITAŞ AT THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER"

Stating that they will complete every project they think will be for the benefit of the club, Serdal Adalı said, "I will start the Dikilitaş Project. No one should struggle in vain. They are unleashing the troll army on social media, asking if he will get angry and leave. I am not going anywhere. We will change the charter. We will lay the foundation of Dikilitaş at the beginning of summer. After that, let them come whenever they want and let's hold an election. I have no fear of elections or anything. My community should know very well that an election or chaos at this moment will not provide any benefit to Beşiktaş. I am continuing my struggle," he said.

Speaking about the betting investigation conducted in football, Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı said, "When this incident started, we were the first club to make a statement and provide support. However, there is a wrong system. I also informed the federation about this and asked them to be more careful. They found me right. Even when Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe fans were saying 'Necip would not do such a thing,' those who appeared to be Beşiktaş fans on social media said things to the kids. Everyone has a family. They have a spouse, a child. These are not right things at all. I don't follow social media much. My community should also know that I do not make decisions based on social media," he stated.

"WE WILL BUY CENGIZ'S TRANSFER RIGHTS"

Saying that he is satisfied with Cengiz Ünder's performance, Adalı said, "We have a purchase clause in Cengiz's contract. Cengiz is playing very well. I wish we could have bought him last year, it didn't happen. When he starts playing 100 percent, he will be much more useful to the club. It is very important for us that he continues this way. If the conditions are met, we will buy his transfer rights," he said.

Regarding İrfan Can Kahveci, whose name is mentioned in the media with the black-and-white club, Adalı replied, "It is not the transfer period right now. It would be very absurd for me to comment on a player from another team. Even asking the question is not right. I will not answer," he said.

"ORKUN IS GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY"

Speaking about Orkun Kökçü, who was added to the squad from Benfica at the beginning of the season, the president of the black-and-white team said, "I naturally spoke with Orkun. Getting a red card in such a match saddened him a lot. No player wants this. His performance is increasing every week. We see it in the post-match analyses, also numerically. He is getting better day by day. I am not complaining about his performance. The coach decides on that anyway. We don't have a problem with him," he said.

"WE HAVE THE CHEAPEST TICKETS"

Upon being reminded that the fans find ticket prices expensive, President Adalı said, "When you compare ticket prices with other teams, we still have the cheapest prices. We also offer discounts depending on the match and occupancy rates. Our fans should also understand us. There is a club that is turning on this side as well. Stadium revenues also hold a significant place. Since I arrived, we have made discounts in almost all matches. There were times when we gave season tickets to fans cheaper. We do not intend to make any changes until the mid-season, but if necessary, we will sit down and do it. As long as they fill the stadium. If a discount is needed, we will do it," he stated.
