Sports commentator İlker Yağcıoğlu commented on the match where Fenerbahçe won 3-1 against Gençlerbirliği. Making a bold statement about the yellow-navy blue team's midfield players, Yağcıoğlu said, "Coach Metin looked at the paper and saw Guendouzi, Asensio, Kante written down. It's a very good trio... It might be a bold claim, but it could be the best midfield trio in Fenerbahçe's history."
Sports commentator İlker Yağcıoğlu evaluated the match where Fenerbahçe defeated Gençlerbirliği 3-1 at home on TRT Spor screens.
''THE GAME BROUGHT 3 POINTS IN 30 MINUTES''
Stating that the game in the first 30 minutes brought 3 points, İlker Yağcıoğlu said, ''The match should be analyzed until the 33rd minute because the match ended at that minute. The Gençlerbirliği team struggled to reach the Fenerbahçe penalty area. The game in the first 30 minutes brought 3 points. It did not allow Galatasaray to widen the gap.''
''IT COULD BE THE BEST TRIO MIDFIELD IN FENERBAHÇE'S HISTORY''
Speaking about the trio of Guendouzi, Kante, and Asensio, Yağcıoğlu said, ''Actually, the most important aspect of this night was Kante. In fact, most fans may have gone to the match to watch him on a cold Istanbul evening. The reason for man-to-man marking might be that Coach Metin looked at the paper and saw Guendouzi, Asensio, Kante written down. A very good trio... It may be very ambitious, but it could be the best trio midfield in Fenerbahçe's history.''
''COULD NOT TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THIS''
Continuing his commentary, İlker Yağcıoğlu said, ''They gave man-to-man marking, but that was not a solution; Fenerbahçe used the full-backs very well. The heroes of today were the full-backs. What caught my attention the most was, for example, at the end of the first half, I looked. Semedo and Mert entered the opponent's penalty area more than they did from their own penalty areas. Gençlerbirliği could not take precautions against this.''
''IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE CHAMPIONS, THESE NAMES WILL DO IT''
Finally, İlker Yağcıoğlu said, ''No striker was bought. 3 strikers left, a new young player came. There is a Talisca who has scored 20 goals. You look at Asensio, 11 goals and 8 assists. If these names you mentioned are going to make Fenerbahçe champions, they are the ones. Players that have been longed for years are in Fenerbahçe. Nene was not very good again. Kerem scored a goal, which was good; the goals must have brought him back to himself.''
