Italiano Praises Oh, Junior Olaitan and Ndidi

Beşiktaş hosted Başakşehir in Week 9 of the Trendyol Süper Lig and won the match 2-0. The black and whites took the lead in the second half and celebrated twice in the opposition net.

Speaking after the match, head coach Vincenzo Italiano said his team's desire to win in the first half was good, but there was a lack of quality in the final 20 meters. The Italian coach stressed that the changes made in the second half strengthened the team and said Oh put in a fantastic performance. Reminding that no match in this league is easy, Italiano said he considered the result important.

Junior Olaitan's performance also caught Italiano's attention. The coach said he was in constant conversation with his player. Noting that Olaitan provided an assist and scored two good goals, Italiano said his long-range shots were good but that he wanted him to take such efforts more often.

Italiano also praised Oh's professionalism. Saying that he and Dusan Vlahovic and Semih Kılıçsoy would make important contributions to the team throughout the season, the coach said he was pleased with Oh, Olaitan and Ndidi.

He also said he was happy that the defense finished the match without conceding, recalling that they had conceded goals for a long time. The win is said to be an important step forward for Beşiktaş.
