The Black Eagles’ versatile central-defender spoke to our website.

‘Before else, I’d like to refute the rumors that I’m going to leave Beşiktaş and join another team. Make no mistake about it, I am extremely happy here and have no intention of moving out. Besides, Turkey is a football country every player would love to be part of. Right now, I am trying to stay focused solely on our upcoming busy schedule and nothing else. Good thing, Czech Republic didn’t get paired against Turkey in the European Championship playoffs, because we not only lost our last two games, the crowd atmosphere is a little too electrifying here.’
