NIHAT KAHVECİ'S CRITICISM OF TEDESCO
In the 19th week of the Trendyol Super League, Fenerbahçe drew 1-1 at home against Göztepe. Evaluating the match on Kontraspor, Nihat Kahveci harshly criticized the performance of the yellow-blue team and the decisions of head coach Domenico Tedesco.
"HE WAS OUT OF FORM TODAY"
Kahveci argued that Tedesco did not make the right moves throughout the match, stating, "In my opinion, Tedesco was out of form today. The best player on the field was Musaba. Why did he take Musaba out?" He criticized Yiğit Efe for losing focus after receiving an early yellow card and said he expected changes at halftime.
CRITICISM OF MUSABA AND WING PLAY
Kahveci emphasized that he did not understand Musaba's substitution, saying, "Without Musaba, you couldn't have gone to the goal in the first half. You take Musaba off during the minutes when you should be applying the most pressure." He also criticized the entry of Kerem Aktürkoğlu, expressing that the performance fell short of expectations.
COMMENT ON EN-NESYRI AND SET PIECES
Kahveci pointed out that En-Nesyri was not brought onto the field in a match suitable for his playing style, stating, "In a match where you made so many crosses, En-Nesyri should have come into the game." He mentioned that Duran created expectations when he entered the game but remained ineffective, emphasizing the need for consistency.
DRAWS LED TO POINT LOSS
Kahveci reminded that despite Fenerbahçe being unbeaten in the league, they had too many draws, stating, "7 draws mean a loss of 14 points. Someone who doesn't follow the league would think this team is in the lead," and concluded his evaluation.
