Fenerbahçe Insiders Discuss the Aftermath of İsmail Kartal's Departure

Following the end of İsmail Kartal's era at Fenerbahçe, relations within the club have again come under discussion. According to reports in the press, a significant number of the yellow and navy players are happy with the change of head coach.

The report particularly points to the communication between the foreign players and the 65-year-old coach having reached breaking point for a long time. It is claimed that many foreign players have not spoken with the coach for a long period and are not satisfied with the tactical approach that was applied.

Captain Milan Skriniar's comments after the defeats were also reported as indirectly criticizing the technical decisions. The Slovak defender's words were interpreted as a sign of differences of opinion between the players and the technical staff. It also drew attention that the number of domestic players who shared farewell messages after İsmail Kartal's departure remained limited.

According to insider information, the view that players may take more responsibility on the pitch in the new period and raise their individual performance is gaining prominence. It was also stated that in the matches against Göztepe and Liverpool, the team could move away from the tactical philosophy of the İsmail Kartal era and show a different style of play.
