Kerem Aktürkoğlu, one of Fenerbahçe’s football players, made a statement on the club’s YouTube channel.
The star player said, “I was sure that the ball spun outwards in the goal in the Kosovo match. I even talked to Orkun. He said the same thing. I hit the ball to be sure. Meanwhile, when I was asked if I was offside, I got worried for 5-10 seconds. But it doesn’t matter if I scored the goal. It is important to go to the World Cup after 24 years.
“İSMAİL IS MY FRIEND”
Ismail is my friend. We have been friends with İsmail for years. Of course, sincerity has increased even more after coming here. Whether it’s when I score a goal or that penalty moment, I always feel his support. Whether on the field or on the sidelines, he is the first to rejoice and the first to run.
“THIS WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION”
Kerem at first was a little more impulsive. With this youthful fire, he also made mistakes. With my current mind and current experiences, I can easily say that he is a young football player who should be calmer and able to make decisions with more maturity. I know it’s hard at such a young age, but this would be my advice.
“I LOVE FENERBAHÇE FANS VERY MUCH”
I love Fenerbahçe fans very much. They have been supporting me very well since the day I first arrived. I always feel their love. To reciprocate their love, I try to reflect myself and my family in the best way on and off the field. I said from the very beginning that I wanted to be talked about only for my football, away from polemics.
“PENALTY IN BEŞİKTAŞ MATCH…”
The penalty in the Beşiktaş match was a penalty in the style of “You will either make history or you will be history”. I’m so glad I could throw it. It might be the hardest penalty I’ve ever scored in my life. I was beside myself after the goal. I normally don’t. I hit the camera. It came into the hands of the security guard. I apologized to him. Something else comes out of it. You shout, you call. “It’s a very different adrenaline rush,” he said.
