I want to raise people from scratch after I quit basketball. Life is not just basketball. I also see these children to see the aspect of humanity, teach English to young people, show the very life itself. There is a lesson too. That’s why I’m excited. I’m trying to learn everything too. Sometimes I stay silent among young people, I look at where I can catch them. This year is a nice experience for me too. ” he spoke.

You get your money late in Beşiktaş, but you will. At first, I told the children this. Everyone will focus on basketball, money is in the second. You will wear the Beşiktaş uniform. From here, you will use Europe, NBA whichever springboard. I told you at first. “

We have young people playing well. They fly on social media, they are excited. I said, ‘Live this one day. then we have to work again ‘I say. “
Answering the question of what the goal will be after the good results, Mehmet said, “We do not know our potential at the moment. There is no limit to the goal. There is the match of Ormanspor and Anadolu Efes in front of us. The favorite of the Anadolu Efes match is not clear, we created this situation. It is better without putting the youth in the mood. We can go places. The goal is open, it will go better. As long as this team is together, it will be better as long as the staff maintains the stability. There will be no exit from Akatlar when the audience comes. ” He spoke in the form.

I tell them that they should stay in a certain line. They work hard. At least one more year to dust this club. Alperen and Şehmus, if they go to another team, they will go without experiencing the Beşiktaş audience at all. I think they can go to better places with better statistics by integrating with the Beşiktaş audience. They will go anyway. I think they will be successful. They have that fabric and mindset. ” He spoke in the form.

Sharing his plans for the future, Mehmet completed his words as follows:
“I want to play as much as I can. I take good care of myself and work well. Altınordu made a breakthrough in football. It raised people. I want to do the same in Beşiktaş or elsewhere. Basketball players are more elite compared to other branches, but I see much less here. I want to start from scratch to train people in basketball. Therefore, this season is very important for me. Young people don’t know anything. I see how bad the Internet is. They haven’t read books, their lessons are left unfinished. Children lack a lot. I want to raise good individuals, good basketball players. I have to play more and save money. “
