Rıdvan Dilmen commented on the team's playing style and transfer plans following Fenerbahçe's 4-0 victory over Konyaspor. Stating that the transfer philosophy will change, Dilmen said, "Budgets are very important. If you mention Lewandowski, who would say no? If you mention Sörloth, who would say no? But this business is done with a budget. It seems that the coach's thoughts on the number 8 position have softened a bit due to Fred, but it looks like there will definitely be a transfer in this area."
After Fenerbahçe's 4-0 victory over Konyaspor, Rıdvan Dilmen made striking comments about the current situation of the yellow-navy team during a broadcast he participated in on Sports Digitale. Dilmen shared his insights on head coach Domenico Tedesco's process management, changes in the game plan, and predictions for the upcoming transfer period.
"EVERY HERO HAS HIS OWN WAY OF EATING YOGURT"
Referring to Domenico Tedesco's first period in Turkey, Rıdvan Dilmen emphasized that the process is not easy. Dilmen stated, "A new country, a new league... It's not easy. He is trying to get to know the team in a demoralized environment. While the national breaks provide an opportunity for recovery, he can revert from his mistakes week by week; it's a mistake in our view, but he does not deny it either. He is trying to establish a certain game plan. Every hero has his own way of eating yogurt," he expressed.
"HE CHANGED THE GAME, NOT THE PLAYERS"
Highlighting Fenerbahçe's transformation on the field, Dilmen pointed out that the real change is in the understanding of the game rather than the players. "My headline for Fenerbahçe is this: He changed the game, not the players. He wanted to play something different with these players. However, the game that this squad should play has been reflected on the field since the Başakşehir match," he stated, indicating that the yellow-navy team has found the right balance.
TRANSFER MESSAGE: ONE MILLION PERCENT WILL BE BOUGHT
Rıdvan Dilmen also spoke clearly about the upcoming transfer period. Indicating that the transfer philosophy will change, Dilmen said, "Budgets are very important. If you say Lewandowski, who would say no? If you say Sörloth, who would say no? But this business is done with a budget. The coach's thoughts on the number 8 position seem to have softened a bit due to Fred, but it looks like a transfer will be made to this area for one million percent," he remarked.
The experienced commentator concluded his remarks by saying, "Hopefully, Fenerbahçe will see the month of April in European cups. The cup traffic is also starting."
