Fenerbahçe hosted EMS Yapı Sivasspor in the 14th week of the Trendyol Super League.
After this match, yellow-dark blue team coach İsmail Kartal made a statement.
HERE ARE İSMAİL KARTAL’S STATEMENTS:
It went as we planned. We knew Sivasspor’s game plan. They are one of the teams that wait in the first zone and attack quickly with the balls they win in the second zone, and do this best in the league. We determined this from the statistics of the matches they have played so far. We paid great attention to our defense while attacking. We started well, fell a little, at the end of the first half, at the beginning of the second half, we increased the tempo again, paused again, then increased the tempo. We won the match we had to win, together with our fans, and got 3 points. We continue on our way. We will prepare for the Beşiktaş match we will play this weekend. The important thing here is that we won the match 4-1. Our players like Ferdi and Fred, who returned from injury today, gave a good reaction in this transition match, let’s call it a preliminary match, in their first match after injury. They will be much better until the Beşiktaş match. I’m happy we won.
I’m happy for the win today. There is no drop in the game. We played superiorly from start to finish. Why shouldn’t I be happy? From time to time you will retreat, from time to time you will give the ball to the opponent. When Sivasspor had the ball, we stayed in front of the ball in a compact manner. After 2-1 it became 4-1, it could have been 5-1 or 6-1.
We are looking at Alexander Djiku day by day. It wouldn’t be right to give a date. The team started training. We evaluate it day by day with our healthcare team. We will see by the end of the week.
Derbies have no favorites. The consequences are unpredictable.
