Our coach İsmail Kartal issued a statement to the broadcaster after beating Yukatel Kayserispor with 4-0.
We are celebrating the birthday of our President Ali Koç, “Today is the birthday of our Honorable President Ali Koç, before the match we wanted to play good football with our players, win the match and present a victory to our President Ali Koç. We kept our promise to our president. Happy birthday to our president. I wish you many healthy and peaceful lives.Congratulating him saying, “our Technical Director İsmail Kartal shared his view on the match as follows:
“As far as our game is concerned, we have an increasing performance. As a team, we are very happy to see that our game is getting stronger every week, we are improving our game and our players are growing with our developing game power. After all, as I said before today’s game, we analyzed the opponent very well. All of our plans worked. We could have snatched the game in the first half as well; We had 3-4 very clear positions. But in the end, we won the game today. However, despite our victory, from the perspective of both teams today, there was spring football. It was a game below the pace of games we’ve played before, I can say. In this type of weather, there is an extremely hot air temperature that rises from 10 degrees to 25-26 degrees at a time. For 2-3 days we have been training in this environment in Istanbul. There, the team’s pace dropped during training sessions. Even ‘why did such a thing happen?’ We held meetings. That’s what the kids and my players all told me: “Master, it’s so hot, it makes us really weak. As we train fast and play games at a high pace, we focused on how we can translate that and how we can increase our motivation a bit more.
We had players coming from national teams, coming from afar, traveling long distances, but we have 12-13 national team players. It’s something we can be proud of. The power of our football today, the power of our tactical and disciplined game, and today my football players knew how to win the game. I congratulate my players. Like I said, we’re presenting this win to our president because it’s our president’s birthday.”
Stating that our team has been increasing its level day by day by working very well together in harmony and establishing good communication, İsmail Kartal said:I won’t say too much “I did, I did” these things. We exist, we, as a team, with my players, Mr. President, our Managers, we have brought this team here in very good harmony, by establishing very good dialogue, by working well. Let’s hope it gets even better. Our actors are really of high quality and character. I am very happy to work with them. I’m proud of them. In training, while the match is being played, they all look me in the eye. Sometimes even when I raise my voice, I want to transmit to them this enthusiasm, this ambition, this energy. Even then, we are still faced with how we can do better. That’s enough for us. We continue our work with great respect. Hopefully we will continue doing our best for Fenerbahçe until the end of the season.” he said.
İsmail Kartal answered the question about Mesut Özil and Ozan Tufan as follows:
“I have never made any statement or spoken about my players in front of the media regarding these matters. Our management made such a decision. After all, it doesn’t suit us, as the Fenerbahçe family, to say ‘it was, it was like that’ in front of the media after such a decision was made. These are our internal, family problems. Following a decision made by our management, this event ended this way.”
