İsmail Kartal's departure from Fenerbahçe was welcomed, especially among foreign players. Here are the details...
As the İsmail Kartal era at Fenerbahçe comes to an end, the effects of the separation from the head coach on the team have begun to become clear.
FOREIGN PLAYERS PLEASED WITH THE DEPARTURE
It was claimed that foreign players in particular welcomed the experienced head coach's departure with great satisfaction. It was reported that communication between Kartal and the foreign players had completely broken down for a long time and that a cold atmosphere prevailed within the team. The fact that even captain Milan Skriniar went in front of the screen after the defeats and made indirect criticisms targeting İsmail Kartal was the most concrete indication of this situation.
MOST OF THE DEPARTING NAMES ARE DOMESTIC
It also drew attention that the number of domestic players who posted farewell messages to the experienced coach on their social media accounts was higher than that of foreign players. It is emphasized that Fenerbahçe players will take the field with a very different motivation in the upcoming Göztepe and Liverpool matches.
