Eric Bailly lost his nerves on Sunday November 5 with Besiktas. After a good first half, the Ivorian international was taken off by his coach at half-time due to poor behavior. "There was a problem with Eric Bailly at half-time.That's why I took him off. There was no injury situation. I pulled him out of the match because of inappropriate behavior," explained Yilmaz in remarks reported by Turkish newspaper Hurriyet. Indeed, the Elephant shook Tayfur Bingöl, as can be seen on the images published on X.
A few hours after the match, Eric Bailly apologized via Instagram. "The tension of the competition pushes us to more success and that's all we want. We all want to win and the best. I apologize to the manager, my teammates and the Besiktas family for my mistake".
