Kartal on Samsun Victory: "We Could Have Won by a Larger Margin"

Fenerbahçe manager İsmail Kartal, whose team is taking firm steps towards their championship goal in the Turkish Super Lig, appeared before the press members after a clear victory against a tough Samsunspor away side. He evaluated the overall match and made striking statements about the transfer agenda. The experienced coach expressed his immense satisfaction with the superior performance displayed on the pitch, emphasizing that the game system is getting better every single day. Kartal stated, "Our team is trying to play by adopting the game philosophy we determined a bit more every day, and most importantly, my players are taking great pleasure in this on the pitch. Both our gameplay and our players are continuously developing. My players personally mention this during our meetings throughout the week. We completely dominated the game away against a tough and strong team like Samsunspor; if we had capitalized on the chances we created, we could have won by a much larger margin."

Continuing his statements, İsmail Kartal also touched upon the squad situation and transfer activities in detail, providing information about Oppong's highly anticipated condition. The successful manager said, "For now, Oppong has only been able to participate in light sweat training. We will see him more clearly in full training sessions in the coming days. Depending on his physical condition, the opponent, and the tactical flow of the match, he can be on the pitch with us at any moment." Reminding the foreign player quota rule, Kartal added, "Currently, we can only make a transfer under the U23 status. Other than that, our A-team quota is completely full. If the conditions are met and we find a suitable name for our club's interests, we will make a young addition. Our management and president are working on this continuously."
