News details

"There was a well-organized Fenerbahçe on the pitch. Fenerbahçe has arrived, yet half the stands are empty. Is it the ticket prices or a reaction?

Fenerbahçe has slowly started to catch the wind in its sails. The Champions League has also boosted their morale significantly.

İsmail Kartal has a major task ahead of him here again. If Oğuz plays like this, Kerem won't get a starting spot there. If he plays Kerem, he'll lose both of them. A player earns the shirt; it isn't given. Oğuz is saying, 'I belong in this team.' He also gets along well with the player behind him. Today, they constantly attacked down the left flank. Greenwood's morale must be down too.

Lukaku is like a German tank, but he needs a bit of time. Will he cut back on food or increase training? Will he lose 7-8 kilos... He's definitely a good player, but in his current shape, it's going to be very tough for him.

Take Osimhen from Galatasaray and put him in this team... Osimhen isn't getting much support at Galatasaray. Here you have Guendouzi and Kante. There is Torreira, but he is not at the quality level of Guendouzi and Kante. These players handle the ball exceptionally well. Fenerbahçe is playing attractive football.

When Fenerbahçe qualified for the Champions League, the atmosphere around the team changed. The players possess that level of quality. They will enjoy playing there. That atmosphere, that music transforms a person... You play differently when you return to Turkey.

If İsmail Kartal benches an Oğuz Aydın playing like this in favor of Kerem Aktürkoğlu, I would question Kartal's managerial credentials. Oğuz is currently the owner of that shirt.

If you take the shirt and commit an injustice, you won't get anywhere.

It's also impossible to understand Asensio's injury. Can you imagine Fenerbahçe's attacking power when he returns as well... Leaving two hand grenades in the back.

(Regarding Kerem Aktürkoğlu) If you're getting beaten up by two or three teammates in the same team, I don't look at the ones dealing it out, I look at the one taking it.

Muriqi is a useful player, but on the other hand, there's Osimhen. There are many Osimhens in Europe, many in the Champions League. But in Turkey, there is only one.
