In the 15th week of the Trendyol Super League, Fenerbahçe defeated Beşiktaş away with a score of 3-1 in the critical derby.
After the match, the guest team’s coach İsmail Kartal made remarkable statements.
HERE ARE İSMAİL KARTAL’S STATEMENTS:
I congratulate all my players and fans for our victory tonight. This is the football we always wanted to play. We worked, we talked and dominated the game from start to finish. We had a good night with the injured returning to us. We came to get 3 points. I am very happy that we deservedly got 3 points with a good game. I wish Beşiktaş team and technical team success for the future.
There is a clear football that we have been playing since the beginning of the season. In football, sometimes reasons that are beyond your control may arise. Injuries in the same position, injuries in the same position in the midfield… Sometimes we have difficulties. There were 1-2 stumbles during the difficult period. We are the leader of this league. We are very happy. We work every week to improve our game, our positive football. Together with our players, we focus on getting better every week. We won with football that suits us. There’s no need to talk too much. We continue on our way.
We talked to Djiku before the match, he said, ‘Coach, I will play for 60 minutes.’ We planned it for 60-70 minutes. He said there was tightness in my back muscles, so we removed it immediately. We took Fred out, not to take any risks. His replacements also played well. There are still those who will return to us. To be better, we will work hard and do our best until the end of the season.
After this win, my players asked for leave. Normally I don’t give them time off, they have the day off tomorrow, they deserve it. We will continue our training with the Trnava match on Tuesday. We allow them, but we are not allowed. I and my team will return to Samandıra from here and continue our work.
