Fenerbahçe player İsmail Yüksek made statements after the match where they were eliminated by Konyaspor in the Turkish Cup. The national player, criticizing their performance, said, 'In a word, disgrace, shame!'
Fenerbahçe, who faced Konyaspor in the quarter-finals of the Ziraat Turkey Cup, lost to their opponent and bid farewell to the cup. İsmail Yüksek, who plays for the yellow-navy team, made striking remarks after the match.
"A DISGRACE IN ONE WORD"
Evaluating the match, İsmail said, "It's a dramatic ending, really like that. A penalty in the last minute, the goal we conceded, then the ball coming off the line. Maybe we could have gotten out with a goal we would score. Leaving it there is a bigger mistake. I haven't been able to give the performance we want for the last 2 weeks. A disgrace in one word. As footballers, we apologize to the community and the fans. We were incredibly bad."
"WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS IS SHAMEFUL"
Continuing his words, the national football player criticized themselves, saying, "What happened in the last 2 weeks is shameful. It doesn't suit this community. We lost one of our important goals today. There's an important derby ahead. A big team, big players need to forget today and look at the derby with full focus. We have to do that. We need to talk within the team and prepare more seriously. It's a tough away game we need to win. That's all we can do now."
