Orkun Kökçü: All of my goals are related to Beşiktaş

Captain Orkun Kökçü, who joined Beşiktaş from Benfica, said he is living his childhood dream in the black-and-white shirt, but that his goals do not end there. Speaking to UEFA, the international footballer said the team's goals are still ongoing, that he also has his own goals, and that all of them are related to Beşiktaş. He described himself as being in a place where he is happy and feels he belongs.

Kökçü also touched on the reactions he showed during matches. The captain, who has special feelings for Beşiktaş, said he would not react this much at another club and that he felt as if an injustice had been done to him.

Speaking about Italiano, Kökçü said that whoever the coach gives a role to is ready. He said everyone is working toward the same goal and that, in terms of football philosophy, what the coach wants fits the team.

Praising the fan support, Kökçü said the supporters back the team under all circumstances. The captain noted that the atmosphere is different during periods when the team is doing well, and he believes this pressures opponents even more.
