FENERBAHCE DEVASTATED: REACTION POURED ON ISMAIL KARTAL

In the 3rd week struggle witnessing exciting moments in the UEFA Champions League, our representative Fenerbahçe experienced a great shock against Slavia Prague hosted in front of the home fans. The yellow-navy blue team, starting the match with great enthusiasm, brought the score to 2-0 with successive goals and overjoyed the stands. However, as a result of momentary mistakes in defense in the later parts of the match and the unlucky goal coming in the last minutes, the struggle resulted in a 2-2 draw. The great disappointment of leaving the pitch with only one point caused a harsh reaction from the fans in the stands. While resignation sounds rose in the stadium with the final whistle of the match, manager İsmail Kartal used quite emotional and clear expressions in the press conference held. Upon the reaction shown by the stands, the experienced coach extended an olive branch to the fans saying "'They shouted resign. I am very sorry. I wish these had not happened. We will win the derby match and make peace with our fans.'" Making detailed evaluations about the general performance of the team, İsmail Kartal summarized the performance of the players with the words "We have the capacity to challenge every team, we fought very well, played very well from time to time. We are very sorry for not being able to make the fans happy after the last-minute goal. This match is left behind. We will prepare for the Galatasaray match together with our team. Kerem helped the team defense more than Oğuz today. Oğuz got tired and we had some requests, he started not being able to do them." Following this surprise draw, the yellow-navy blue community turned eyes to the giant derby to be played at the weekend. İsmail Kartal and the students aim to compensate for the point loss experienced in the Slavia Prague match with a glorious victory to be taken against the arch-rivals. The technical committee will spend intense overtime to eliminate deficiencies.
