After İsmail Kartal's departure at Fenerbahçe, Dirk Kuyt, who took over, is preparing a new restructuring at the team, while a striking request came from Mason Greenwood. The English star spoke with the Dutch coach and conveyed that he wants to play in the number 10 position instead of the right wing.
Mason Greenwood, whom Fenerbahçe added to its squad to strengthen its attacking line, held a meeting with head coach Dirk Kuyt.
According to Sabah's report, the 25-year-old English footballer told the Dutch coach that he wants to play in the number 10 position. Greenwood stated that he could contribute more to the team in that area.
NEW ROLE FROM KUYT FOR GREENWOOD
It was stated that Dirk Kuyt, who was appointed as head coach after İsmail Kartal's departure, also viewed Greenwood's request favorably. It was reported that the Dutch coach plans to use the English star behind the striker. Greenwood played once in the number 10 position during İsmail Kartal's tenure, then returned to the right wing.
DEFENSIVE BURDEN WILL DECREASE
According to the report, Dirk Kuyt is considering reducing the player's defensive responsibilities in order to make greater use of Greenwood's attacking abilities. With this change, the aim is for the English footballer to move more freely in attack and for the team's effectiveness in front of goal to increase.
6 GOAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN 9 MATCHES
The 25-year-old Mason Greenwood has produced a performance of 4 goals and 2 assists in the 9 weeks completed in the Süper Lig. Thus, the English footballer directly contributed to 6 goals.
