Besiktas’ decision to suspend him, along with four other players, citing “poor performance and incompatibility within the team,” Rachid Ghezzal, the 31-year-old right winger, has expressed his profound disappointment. Ghezzal took to social media to convey his sentiments after learning about the suspension through the club’s press release.
In his response, Ghezzal conveyed a deep sense of hurt, emphasizing that he stumbled upon the club’s statement on social media, which came as a shock.
The Algerian international, who has been a consistent presence in the Besiktas lineup, expressed his enduring pride in donning the club’s jersey and his commitment to giving his best for the team.
“This morning, I discovered by chance on social networks a statement from the club, which I am taking into consideration. This shocked and deeply hurt me.
I have always been proud to wear the Beşiktaş jersey, to win and fight for the team, and I will continue to do so as long as I have the opportunity, until the end of my contract,” Ghezzal stated.
He went on to dispute any allegations of behavioral problems or a lack of commitment to the team, asserting that he cannot accept his name being associated with such accusations.
Ghezzal described the decision as “completely arbitrary and political,” distancing himself from any perceived shortcomings.
Addressing the fans directly, Ghezzal acknowledged the outpouring of support he received. “To all the fans, please know that I have seen all your messages of support.
These messages touched me, and I am grateful to you. I love you,” he added, expressing gratitude for the encouragement from the Besiktas supporters.
As the situation unfolds, Ghezzal’s response highlights his commitment to the team and his desire to set the record straight regarding the circumstances leading to the suspension.
