“I will devote myself to the team.”
Dele Alli, the ‘returned genius’, responded honestly to the public criticism of coach Senol Gunes Besiktas immediately after his resurrection.
On the 28th (Korean time), Ali started in the home game against Alaniyaspor in the 21st round of the Super League held at Vodafone Park in Istanbul, Turkey, and scored the team’s third goal in the 14th minute of the second half, leading to a 3-0 victory. Season 2 goal. Ali, who wore the Beşiktaş uniform on loan from Everton this season, was rarely used after manager Senol Gunes took over. This year, he played as a substitute in the last two games in a row, but this day’s start was only two and a half months after October 30 last year. It has been 4 and a half months since the 5th round of the 5th round on September 5 last year that I have tasted the goal.
Ali, who showed flashing movements throughout the first half, overcame the opponent’s defense and shook the net in the 14th minute of the second half, putting a wedge in the game. Fans cheered for the thrilling resurrection shot. One fan welcomed, saying, “Dele Alli’s comeback has begun,” and another admitted, “Dele Alli scored goals and showed man-of-the-match performance.”
After coming to the Turkiye League on loan last summer, he was in poor condition and was sluggish, and in a match last December, he was booed by Besiktas fans, and rumors of an early repatriation from Everton circulated from the beginning of the new year. However, the cheers of the fans returned with the goal. 토토사이트
Earlier this month, when asked about Dele Alli, Gunes bluntly replied: “He’s had a very good career, but he doesn’t deserve to play at this point. In the current situation, he’s not living up to our expectations as a team.” “We want Dele Alli to contribute to our team, but in our opinion, he is not contributing for the team at this point. We will continue to evaluate this with the player and the club,” he said.
After revealing his presence with a goal in his first start in two and a half months, Dele Alli frankly admitted in an interview with Potomac that his performance was not up to the level the team demanded. “I’m happy to score a goal and come back with three points. I showed a strong performance in front of our fans,” he admitted. “Maybe so far I haven’t brought what the fans expect.” “But this match was an opportunity for me, and I will try to devote myself to the team as much as I can,” he said.
Dele Alli is at a crossroads that will shape his football career. ‘England Talent’, who was once responsible for Tottenham’s attack along with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, is going downhill without his colleagues developing new talents to grow into world-class aces. After moving from Tottenham to Everton last year, he was not selected by coach Frank Lampard, and even after wearing the Turkiye League Besiktas uniform, he was criticized by fans for his sluggish appearance.
It is doubtful whether Lampard will be able to safely return to the chaotic Everton, which has recently been sacked due to poor performance, and rumors of a successor to former Burnley coach Sean Dyche have been dug out. In order to find new opportunities, such as returning to the Premier League, it is a situation where you have to throw everything at the opportunity that came to you at Besiktas.
The difference in points between 3rd place Besiktas and 2nd place Fenerbahce is only 3 points, and regaining the trust of coach Gunes through his consistent performance in Fatih Karaguimruek on the 1st of next month became the top priority.
