Our Coach İsmail Kartal made a statement to the broadcaster after the match in which we beat Gaziantep Football Club 2-0 in the Round of 16 of the Ziraat Turkish Cup.
First of all, touching on the field ground, İsmail Kartal said, “I mentioned that the field ground was bad in the league match 2 weeks ago. I say the same thing again today. It was difficult for both team players to play football here. King’s ankle sprained on this bad ground. His wrist was bandaged. It is not clear when he will return to us. As coaches, we are people who contribute to Turkish football. Our aim is to contribute to the development of football and take football to places, but how will the players of both teams play football on such a ground? During the half-time, my players said: ‘We were surprised at how to compete on the field rather than playing football. We can’t pass, our feet are slipping. “There is extreme fatigue in our muscles,” they said. Bonucci said, ‘My muscles are swollen, I can’t run on this ground.’ We need to start from here. I would like to ask whoever the caretakers of this field are, please take a closer look at the ground and take care of it. Both teams competed well. We won, they could have won too. Let there be better grounds, better football. “Let’s move our football forward,” he said.
Evaluating the match afterwards, our Coach İsmail Kartal said, “My team was very disciplined and concentrated from start to finish today. Even though the ground was so bad, we played well. I am very happy that we won a difficult away game and passed the tour. I congratulate my players. “I wish success to Gaziantep Football Club,” he said.
Regarding Mert Müldür’s situation, İsmail Kartal said, “I did not say that because we cannot attribute it to the ground. Maybe it has something to do with the ground, but there is a slight strain and hardening in the muscle. There is a problem there too. We also have one or two more players. “We cannot attribute everything to the ground, but unfortunately, small things can happen in such heavy fields.”
Regarding the jersey competition between Michy Batshuayi and Edin Dzeko, our Coach İsmail Kartal said, “There are no problems or problems in our team. We are a family. We are the Fenerbahçe family. Everyone respects each other. We are looking ahead, match by match. “We prepare whichever of our players is more ready for the match and continue on our way,” he said.
When asked about the transfer, İsmail Kartal said, “I don’t know, let’s see. He concluded his words by saying, “Good luck.”
