Besiktas coach, Sergen Yalçin, criticized the performance of Portuguese footballer Rafa Silva in training, stating that, the way everything has unfolded during the working week, «the doors are not open» for the athlete to play. Rafael Silva returned to the options in this Saturday's game, in the 1-0 victory against Caykur Rizespor, in the 17th round of the Turkish league. However, he did not leave the bench. The 32-year-old Portuguese has been case in the last month in Türkiye and there is a possibility of leaving the club. He hasn't played since November 2nd and, in the five games before this, he wasn't even called up. «A bomb exploded in our hands, in the place we least expected. We faced the problem with Rafa Silva. While I was trying to hold the player, telling him to try hard, while I was trying not to have problems, not to lose the player or the fans, trying to be kind to this one and that one, the bomb exploded in my hands", said Sergen Yalçin, about the Portuguese, after the game, speaking to beIN Sports. «I don't want to talk too much about Rafa. Rafa Silva's training is a zero out of ten. If he stays during the break and trains with us like a football player, we will open our doors to him. But, in the current situation, our doors are not open», he continued. «When I started the job, I knew it was going to be difficult, but there is a limit to how difficult it can be. Unfortunately, many things we didn't want happened to us. Despite this, we are trying to remain firm. Let's improve, let's make things right. If our fans trust us, the game will improve. This is not Besiktas,” he said.
