While the uncertainty regarding the head coach at Fenerbahçe continues, details of İsmail Kartal's presentation to the executives have emerged. The final decision will be made by president Ali Koç.
"I WILL PLAY 4-2-3-1"
In journalist Serdar Ali Çelikler's news on the subject, it was stated, "On Thursday, at the instruction of Ali Koç, Devin Özek, along with Ahmet Ketenci and Hamdi Akın, requested a final presentation from İsmail Kartal. If I were in Kartal's place, I wouldn't have made a presentation, but İsmail Hoca did. He didn't say anything surprising. He said, 'I will play with a 4-man defense and 4-2-3-1.' He mentioned, 'My style of play is clear. I want a pressing game that pushes the defensive block forward.' He specified the defense line as Semedo - Skriniar - Jayden..."
"CAN'T WE GET FERDI BACK?"
He asked, "Can't we get Ferdi back? He is not playing in his team." Devin Özek replied, "It could be, coach. We will bring this issue to the agenda."
He mentioned that he was considering Fred and İsmail as the midfield duo. He expressed that he was thinking of Kerem and İrfan Can as the wingers in the front three and that he would play En-Nesyri as the striker. For the number 10 position, he said, "Both Asensio and Talisca are important names, but we could consider Szymanski for a pressing game. We need to win this player." When Devin Özek asked, "What do you think about Duran?" Kartal's response was, "He would be an alternative."
AHMET KETENCİ INTERVENED
After the presentation, Özek provided feedback, stating, "İsmail Kartal does not primarily consider Asensio, Alvarez, Duran, and Nene. He suggested that Ferdi could be brought back instead of Brown." Ahmet Ketenci intervened, correcting, "He didn't say it exactly like that. He said Asensio is not ready yet; he will play him when he is ready. He also stated that he would use Talisca."
