Edin Dzeko: “We would be 6-7 points ahead under normal circumstances”

Edin Dzeko, who transferred to Fenerbahçe at the beginning of the season, had won the hearts of the fans with his impressive performances. The star player addressed a notable question about Galatasaray’s Mauro Icardi in his recent statement.

Fenerbahçe’s goal-scoring player and captain, Edin Dzeko, made noteworthy comments on various topics, from their championship race with Galatasaray to the competition with Icardi for the top scorer title.

Words on Szymanski

Speaking to the Polish media, Dzeko commented on Szymanski’s performance: “Sebastian had a fantastic start to the season, and I am very happy about it. Especially for scoring goals because having more players in a team who can score is always better. However, his good start is not a surprise for me because he is a good and quality player. We hope he will maintain this form throughout the season and contribute a lot to Fenerbahçe.”

Answer to Icardi Question

Responding to the question, “Your goal tally with Icardi is almost the same, and currently, both Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have the same points. Which one would be more challenging, beating Icardi in the top scorer race or defeating Galatasaray for the championship?” Dzeko replied:

“The most important reason for joining Fenerbahce for me is to give back the championship title to this club and its fans. This is my absolute priority. And I am doing everything I can to make it happen.”

‘We Would Be 6-7 Points Ahead Under Normal Circumstances’

Addressing the championship race, the goal-scoring player stated, “Under normal circumstances, after a series of 10 victories, we would probably be 6-7 points ahead of the second team. However, this season in the Turkish league is entirely different because the opponents are also in good shape. It means a very long championship struggle where every match and even every point can be decisive.”

‘They Were All Special Like Fenerbahçe’

Expressing his admiration for the Super Lig and Turkey, Dzeko said, “I love all the clubs I have played for. They were all special to me, just like Fenerbahçe is now. However, considering I have played in the top 5 leagues, I didn’t know what to expect in Turkey. But when I came to Fenerbahçe, I immediately understood that it was a good move. I was impressed by what I saw here.”
