Fenerbahçe players Fred, Edin Dzeko and Sofyan Amrabat spoke after the match in which they defeated Trabzonspor 3-2 in the 11th week of the Super League.
Noting that they fought to win, Fred said, “Scoring goals and helping the team is very important. There are things we need to improve. We should have been more careful in the second half. We managed to turn the score in our favor. We fought and fought very well. We got the 3 points.” he said.
“IT IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY CAREER I WAS THIS ANGRY”
Criticizing the referee’s decisions and emphasizing that fair decisions were not made, Sofyan Amrabat said, “Let me tell you honestly, I am not a person with a sense of revenge. This is the first time in my career that I got so angry and tense on the field. I am not someone who would do this. I am in favor of fair play, I am in favor of hard Football, but it must be fair. Everything. I don’t want to criticize the referees, I respect them, they do a very difficult job, they are people too. Before I came here, before I came to Fenerbahçe, they told me that they were against Fenerbahçe at first. Now I understand why they said that. Unfortunately, we generally do not play 11 on 11 matches. They make mistakes too, they are human, but I was very angry. I hit the ball into the stands, don’t get me wrong, it was not against them, I am normally a person who believes in goals. “I am not a scorer. This goal I scored is not a coincidence.” he said.
“THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE GAME”
Stating that he agrees with Jose Mourinho, Amrabat said, “I agree with our coach. So far, I do not know how many points we have lost due to VAR decisions… I cannot say for sure whether it is a penalty or not, but VAR examines the position for 4-5 minutes. This is not good for the game. If it is a penalty, it will be given.” “If not, it won’t be given. I don’t make excuses. First of all, we have to play well, we have to show our game. It is not easy, but because of these events.” he said.
“THEY SHOULD NOT LET SOMEONE FROM ABOVE MANAGE THE MATCHES”
Riders competed for “Republic”
Speaking about the red card and penalty situation, Edin Dzeko said, “We are fighting against too many people. We succeeded today, but we may not always succeed. They should not allow someone from above to manage the matches. During our card and penalty moments, those above probably took a toilet break. The people who talk and think about this situation are the players.” It shouldn’t happen. It’s hard not to talk and focus. The things we see are strange. We came here with humility after what happened last year, and we played like that. There may be things we talk about a lot, but what happens on the field is strange. “The referee is 26 years old, he is 12 years younger than me. They can make mistakes, they improve as they make mistakes. This is not ballet, it is football. Football is not a non-contact sport. We are not doing ballet, we are playing football.”
