Nihat Kahveci, after the draw against Kasımpaşa, criticized Nene and Musaba at Fenerbahçe, finding the team's first-half performance inadequate and pointing out the injury problems in defense.
After the match where Fenerbahçe drew 1-1 with Kasımpaşa in the 23rd week of the Trendyol Super League, Nihat Kahveci made striking evaluations on Kontraspor screens.
"YOU WASTED 45 MINUTES"
Referring to the fluctuating performance of the yellow-navy team, Kahveci stated, "Fenerbahçe said 'We won this match' after Asensio's goal. The 3-5 minutes after the goal are very important. You wasted a whole 45 minutes. You conceded 3 goals from Nottingham Forest, you didn't play well for a minute. You broke the heart of the fans."
"SOME PLAYERS ARE PLAYING THEIR OWN FOOTBALL"
Kahveci, who pointed out the disharmony within the team, criticized two players in particular:
"Some players in Fenerbahçe are playing their own football. Nene and Musaba in the first half… They played as if they had no teammates. In a big team game, you have to share. You dribble when it's time to dribble, you pass when it's time to pass."
Referring to Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Kahveci said, "This match is calling for Kerem. Why didn't Kerem, who scored against Trabzonspor and Gençlerbirliği, play today?"
CRITICISM OF ÇAĞLAR, SUPPORT FOR SKRINIAR
Kahveci also addressed the injury problems in defense, stating, "I have nothing to say about Skriniar. He played 25 matches in a row, played everywhere. But Çağlar, you play once a month. What kind of injuries are these? I think they are training incorrectly."
