The Portuguese winger, who joined the team on the last day of the summer transfer window, made headlines with his first interview after scoring a goal.
HIS DREAM CAME TRUE
On September 15, speaking to the club's YouTube channel, Jota was asked "Imagine your first goal for Besiktas, what would it be like?" to which he replied: "Probably a header into the left side of the goal after coming out of the tunnel, maybe with a cross. I would enjoy that very much."
Beşiktaş scored the third goal in the left side, just as Jota had said. As the minutes ticked 90+3 at the Tüpraş Stadium, Jota headed the ball at the front post from a corner kick from the left side, the ball hit the far post and crossed the line. The goal was officially credited to Syrota of Kocaelispor, but it was noteworthy that the formation of the goal was exactly as Jota imagined it.
