Fenerbahçe manager İsmail Kartal responds to resignation calls
Fenerbahçe head coach İsmail Kartal addressed fans' calls for his resignation following a 2-2 draw against Slavia Prag in the UEFA Champions League. Despite taking an early 2-0 lead with goals from Oğuz Aydın and Mason Greenwood, Fenerbahçe conceded twice, including a decisive goal in the 90th minute.
Kartal expressed regret over disappointing the supporters but stated, “In football, these things happen. We wish it hadn't happened, but it did. We will look ahead.” He emphasized that the team aims to reconcile with fans by winning the upcoming derby against Galatasaray.
The match also saw injuries to Nathan Ake, who suffered a hamstring strain and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity. Additionally, commentator Rıdvan Dilmen criticized the team's physical conditioning compared to European standards and raised concerns regarding Marco Asensio's ongoing fitness issues.
