Fenerbahçe won 3-2 against Corendon Alanyaspor away. Sports commentator İlker Yağcıoğlu evaluated the match after the game and assessed the star player of the yellow-navy team, Kerem Aktürkoğlu. Yağcıoğlu, who made harsh criticisms of the national football player, said, "Kerem, where are you? He has forgotten football. If he can pass the ball to Fenerbahçe players as soon as he receives it, I consider it a success."
Fenerbahçe visited Corendon Alanyaspor in the 18th week match of the Super League. The yellow-navy team managed to win the tough match 3-2 despite falling behind twice.
'WORST 45 MINUTES'
Ilker Yağcıoğlu stated that the performance of Fenerbahçe in the first half was the worst first 45 minutes during the Tedesco era, saying, "It was an interesting match. I could have said different things after the halftime. Winning in matches where we played poorly was very important. The first 45 minutes was the worst 45 minutes of Fenerbahçe since Tedesco came. They couldn't even commit a foul. At the end of the half, there was a ball that hit the post, it bounced back from the post for Alanyaspor. They made 39 passes. The Fenerbahçe team cannot make uninterrupted 39 passes against Alanyaspor."
'LEAGUE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING'
Continuing his words, Yağcıoğlu said, "I was really surprised and angry in the first 45 minutes. Let me tell you why I was angry. Yesterday Galatasaray lost points, and if you win, the difference will drop to 1. You don't expect such a start. I don't care about the Aston Villa match, what matters is the league championship. The league is more important than anything else."
'WOULD IT HAVE TURNED IF IT WAS 3-1, I DON'T KNOW'
The experienced commentator expressed that the victory could be a match that brings the championship at the end of the season, saying, "If the ball that hit the post had been a goal and it was 3-1 at the end of the first half, I don't know if the match would have turned. In the second half, what happened was that Fenerbahçe players played close to their opponent. Suddenly, the talented feet did their job. We can refer to this as a match that could bring the championship at the end of the year, write this match down."
'HE HAS FORGOTTEN FOOTBALL'
Ilker Yağcıoğlu, who made harsh criticisms of Fenerbahçe's national star Kerem Aktürkoğlu, said, "Let me give credit to Talisca. He continues to carry the goal burden of the team. Kerem, where are you? He has forgotten football. If he can pass the ball to Fenerbahçe players as soon as he receives it, I consider it a success. He is a highly supported player. You are used to this pressure. Stay calm. They keep telling him to relax. This image of Kerem cannot carry the jersey. He could lose the jersey. His performance is surprising and I didn't like it. At the beginning of the season, En-Nesyri's performance was not bad. But it is important for Talisca, Asensio, and Musaba to step in when he is not there. Kerem, okay you did nothing in attack, at least do something in defense. How many times did Alanya come from the left side? I don't think Fenerbahçe will play a match like this again."
