Nihat Kahveci: İrfan Can should explain the reason for his celebration

Commentator Nihat Kahveci, speaking on Kontraspor, assessed İrfan Can Kahveci's goal celebration and said the player should explain the reason for the gesture. In the debate that followed Fenerbahçe's 5-0 away win over Çorum FK in Week 11 of the Süper Lig, the statement by İrfan Can that his celebration was not aimed at Sergen Yalçın was discussed. Kahveci said, "Now he has made a statement, yes, but if you're saying 'I didn't do it' to him, then also say why you did it so the matter can be closed."

Kahveci said he expects İrfan Can in the national team squad and expressed respect for the head coach's choice. He added that this reaction could affect future squad decisions. Explaining his own view with the words "I wouldn't have done that gesture," the commentator noted that he has also criticized the national team head coach himself, and argued that despite this, the player should not have made this gesture.

In his assessment of the match, Kahveci congratulated Fenerbahçe. He highlighted their effort to use the right flank in the first 20 minutes and the runs made while building play from deep. He evaluated Guendouzi's move between Skriniar and Semedo to win the ball, as well as the movement in midfield and the passing links. He also praised the passing sequences leading up to Oğuz's fifth goal.

Referring to Çorum FK, Kahveci reminded that the home side had won three of their four matches before this one under coach Burak. The commentator said he liked the stadium atmosphere, the choreography and the pitch, and said Çorum FK put on a style of play capable of scoring two or three goals.
