Batuhan Karadeniz criticized Fenerbahçe's captain harshly.

Former football player and now sports commentator Batuhan Karadeniz made striking statements regarding Fenerbahçe's captain Mert Hakan Yandaş after the yellow-navy team lost 3-1 to AZ Alkmaar in the 4th week of the UEFA Europa League.

"YOU ARE NOT A FOOTBALL PLAYER"

Speaking about Fenerbahçe captain Mert Hakan Yandaş after the match, Karadeniz said, "Your goal is not to play football. Your goal is to create chaos. You enter the field, 5 balls come to you, and you lose 4 of them. Why are you wandering around? Because you are not a football player! You have no identity as a footballer. Your job is to stir things up and do something."

"A CAPTAIN LIKE THIS DOES NOT SUIT FENERBAHÇE"

Criticizing Mert Hakan's captaincy, Batuhan Karadeniz said, "Aren't you the team captain? Why don't you talk to the two young players? You can't say anything because you are not doing it yourself. If a kid turns to you and asks, 'Bro, what are you doing?' what will you say? You would say, 'I'm just barking.' Does it suit the great Fenerbahçe club to have a captain like Mert Hakan Yandaş?"

MERT HAKAN'S STATISTICS BECAME A SENSATION

Mert Hakan Yandaş, who was included in the match in the 79th minute and displayed an inadequate performance during his time on the field, faced significant backlash from the yellow-navy fans.
