After Fenerbahçe's 6-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League, harsh reactions came from football commentators. Nihat Kahveci, Bülent Uygun, Ümit Özat, Emre Bol and Sinan Engin criticized the yellow-navy blue team's performance with harsh words. In particular, the statements "A 6-0 was written into our history too" and "You embarrassed the club" drew attention.
In the second week of the UEFA Champions League, Fenerbahçe, away to Aston Villa, left the pitch with a heavy 6-0 defeat. After the debacle at Villa Park, the yellow-navy team's performance became the target of harsh criticism. Nihat Kahveci, Bülent Uygun, Ümit Özat, Emre Bol and Sinan Engin reacted to the defeat with their statements after the match.
FENERBAHÇE COLLAPSED IN ENGLAND
Fenerbahçe, participating in the Champions League after 18 years, fell behind against Aston Villa through Johan Manzambi's goal in the 12th minute. The yellow-navy side, who ended the first half 3-0 down after goals from Nicolas Jackson in the 31st and 39th minutes, could not respond to their opponent in the second half either.
With Ross Barkley's goals from the penalty spot in the 68th minute and in the 72nd minute, the margin increased to five, while Tammy Abraham made the score 6-0 in the 90th minute. The Fenerbahçe fans in the away stand called for head coach İsmail Kartal to resign after the fifth goal.
NİHAT KAHVECİ: FOOTBALL CANNOT BE THIS SLOPPY
Drawing attention to Fenerbahçe's mistakes, Nihat Kahveci criticized the performance of the yellow-navy players with the following words:
“There was an incredible picture on the pitch! Fenerbahçe literally made 5 assists, Aston Villa scored 6 goals! There can't be such simple mistakes, such sloppy football!”
BÜLENT UYGUN: ERASED FROM THE PITCH
Bülent Uygun also reacted to the football Fenerbahçe produced and used the following statements:
“Where we tell players, 'Break the dead weight and bondage on you, go out onto the pitch with your courage and make history,' unfortunately Fenerbahçe is returning to the country after a heavy disgrace and being wiped off the pitch.”
ÜMİT ÖZAT: A 6-0 HAS ALSO BEEN WRITTEN INTO OUR HISTORY
Ümit Özat, one of Fenerbahçe's former captains, recalled the 6-0 jibes made against Galatasaray for years and made a striking assessment:
“Well, now I'm going to tell you something; the 6-0 no longer has any real significance. Morning and night we used to say '6-0, 6-0, 6-0' to Galatasaray; it has come back around, and a 6-0 has been written into our history too. Tomorrow, if you say '6-0' to Galatasaray, they'll say, 'Look at yourselves.'”
EMRE BOL: YOU DISGRACED FENERBAHÇE
Emre Bol made harsh statements after the heavy defeat. Criticizing the team's performance in the Champions League, Bol also brought up Romelu Lukaku's situation:
“You got Fenerbahçe into the Champions League, so what happened? You disgraced Fenerbahçe! President, we're entering the eighth week of the league. Next week you'll play another match in the Champions League. When is Lukaku going to come to his senses, man? Is he ever going to come to his senses at some point?”
SİNAN ENGİN'S HARSH WORDS FOR LUKAKU
Sinan Engin, meanwhile, focused his criticism on Belgian star Romelu Lukaku. The experienced commentator harshly criticized the player's physical condition and Fenerbahçe's shortcomings in the attacking line.
“Lukaku, have some shame! Can't you see yourself, don't you watch yourself? Brother, I'm telling you not to eat after 6 p.m., and you're gaining weight. Hire a dietitian, hire a personal fitness trainer. How did Lukaku score that many goals? I wonder, did the right Lukaku come? You can't fool us.”
Engin continued his words by also criticizing Fenerbahçe's squad construction:
“When you go even slightly outside Edirne, they teach us a lesson. Turkish teams have continued to be average teams since yesterday. Aston Villa is not a team that flies and runs away. Fenerbahçe also has chances. If only they could score... But they don't believe... Why? It doesn't work with Muriqi, it doesn't work with Lukaku... Don't fool yourselves. Fenerbahçe has no striker, no proper midfield.”
DIFFICULT MATCHES AWAIT FENERBAHÇE
Fenerbahçe, which remains on 1 point after two matches in the Champions League, will host Slavia Prague at home on October 20. The yellow-navy side will visit arch-rival Galatasaray on October 26 in the 9th week of the Süper Lig.
After the 6-0 defeat against Aston Villa, how the coaching staff and players will perform in these two critical matches became a matter of curiosity.
