Super Lig: Wilfred Ndidi reacts to victory on Besiktas debut

Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has shared his reaction following his debut with Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig.

The Super Eagles midfielder joined Besiktas on a two-year deal from Leicester City two weeks ago.

The 28-year-old made his debut for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side in their 2–1
victory against Eyüpspor on Sunday, August 17.

Ndidi was named in the starting eleven by the former Manchester United manager and featured for 70 minutes before he was replaced by Demir Tiknaz after picking up a knock.

The former Genk midfielder hailed the Besiktas fans for their remarkable support in pushing the team to the finish line.

“The atmosphere was great. The support from our fans was fantastic. When the score was 1–1, we showed real team spirit, and their backing pushed us to fight for the second goal. It was a great day, we feel fantastic,” he told reporters after the game.
