After leaving Hatayspor and putting his coaching career aside, Fenerbahçe legend Volkan Demirel, who started working as a sports commentator, made a transfer confession that will be talked about a lot regarding the period he served as a coach for the yellow-blue team after ending his active football career. COMOLLI PREVENTED THE MALANG SARR TRANSFERSpeaking on the Asist Analiz YouTube channel, Demirel said that he watched players for Fenerbahçe and stated, "I prepared a report about Malang Sarr. At that time, I went to Comolli, our know-it-all sporting director, and said let's get him. He told me 'He can't enter this club while I'm here.' I was very upset. The player later went to Chelsea," he said. THE GÖZTEPE MATCH AND ALİ KOÇ'S WORDSVolkan Demirel also commented on the incidents in the Göztepe-Fenerbahçe match, saying, "Ali Koç shouldn't have gone there. Someone should have said, 'Stop, Mr. President, I'll go.' No one notices when you go, but when it's seen that you went there on the way back, the fans inevitably react. They save up their money, cut it from their allowance, get money from their fathers, I did these too. I even skipped school to go to a Fenerbahçe match and took money from my father's pocket. The fans are always right. The fans want to curse, shout, and throw things. Is it necessary? No, but when you enter this environment, these things happen in that stadium, everywhere," he said. WHO IS MALANG SARR?Starting his football career at his hometown club, Sarr joined Nice at the age of 6. Sarr made his first professional appearance with the team on August 14, 2016, and scored his first goal for the team at the age of 17. Sarr, whose contract expired at the end of the 2019-20 season, left Nice, where he had been for 15 years, and signed a 5-year contract with Chelsea. Chelsea loaned the player to Porto for the 2020-2021 season. After returning from Porto, Sarr spent the 2021-2022 season at Chelsea and the 2022-2023 season on loan at Monaco. Sarr, who did not have a chance to play for the English team last season, transferred to Lens for free this summer.
