Italiano praises Hyeon-Gyu Oh following Italian-language remarks

Beşiktaş beat Başakşehir 2-0 at the Tüpraş Stadium to win their Week 9 Trendyol Süper Lig match. Speaking after the game, head coach Vincenzo Italiano stressed the impact of the players who came on in the second half.

Italiano said he was pleased with Hyeon-Gyu Oh's introduction and praised the young player for scoring two goals. The Italian coach said Junior Olaitan contributed to the team with his assists, and noted that no league match is easy, so every game must be played with full attention.

Italiano said that because of Orkun Kökçü's injury they could not use some of their key players, but he was happy with the team's performance anyway. He said he was pleased that they finished the match without conceding and that their concentration was close to the level seen at the start of the season.

Talking about Wilfred Ndidi's role in attack, Italiano said the team had worked on it and that the player stood out with his entries into the penalty area, his headers and his influence in the last 20 metres. Italiano avoided giving a firm date for Orkun Kökçü's return, but said the player is getting better every day and he hopes he will be back with the team as soon as possible.
