Defensive players' scoring contribution in attack at Beşiktaş
Under the management of Vincenzo Italiano at Beşiktaş, the defensive line's direct impact on the scoreboard has drawn attention.
As Beşiktaş establishes a new style of play under Vincenzo Italiano, the support given to the attack by defensive players has come to the fore, with four defenders making a direct contribution to the score in the first part of the season.
Scoring Contribution in Defense
With Vincenzo Italiano taking over as the head coach of Beşiktaş, the contribution made by defensive players to the attack has reached a remarkable level.
In the remaining first part of the season, Amir Murillo, Rıdvan Yılmaz, Emirhan Topçu, and Emmanuel Agbadou managed to directly impact the score.
Amir Murillo Stood Out
Claiming the top spot in this area, Amir Murillo is the Black Eagles' highest-scoring defender with 3 goals and 1 assist in the two competitions he played in.
The experienced player reached his 100th international match wearing the Panama jersey while also achieving significant statistics in a Beşiktaş uniform this season.
Contribution of Rıdvan and Emirhan
Increasing his effectiveness in the attack following the arrival of the Italian coach, 25-year-old left-back Rıdvan Yılmaz found the back of the net in the Fenerbahçe derby and provided 2 assists in the UEFA Europa League Play-Off match against Kauno Zalgiris.
Successful center-back Emirhan Topçu, who was also called up to the national team, scored a header from Orkun Kökçü's cross in the match against Erzurumspor FK.
Increased Attacking Diversity
With Agbadou also providing 1 goal assist, the defensive line's total direct impact on 9 goals strengthened the coaching staff's hand.
The full-backs and center-backs taking responsibility in set-pieces and open play has increased the team's attacking diversity.
