Commentator Rıdvan Dilmen criticized Fenerbahçe after the Sivasspor match

Renowned commentator and former Fenerbahçe player Rıdvan Dilmen commented on the Fenerbahçe – Sivasspor match in the program “100% Football” broadcasted on TV8.5.

Commenting on the match where Fenerbahçe defeated Sivasspor 4-1 in the 14th week of the Turkish Super League, Rıdvan Dilmen stated, “Fenerbahçe played better two weeks ago in the Adana Demirspor match but lost points. I didn’t like Fenerbahçe today,” he said.

“You would say İrfan Can would score this goal even if you closed your eyes”

Commenting on İrfan Can Kahveci’s stylish goal, the commentator said, “Irfan Can‘s goal is İrfan Can’s goal. You would say İrfan Can would score this goal even if you closed your eyes.”

“Tadic has a very different technique”

The former national footballer commented on Dusan Tadic‘s assist to Sebastian Szymanski, saying, “Tadic has a very different technique. It is not easy to make that pass on a wet ground. Interestingly, hitting the ball with his left foot like that.”

“Don’t look for any adventure”

Regarding Fenerbahçe playing Ismail Yüksek as a stopper in the match they lost 6-1 to Nordsjaelland in the Conference League, the famous 61-year-old commentator said, “If your central players are not Samet and Mert, and Djiku, Becao, and Serdar are not available, and Oosterwolde is the only option. Don’t look for any adventure; you could find another player at left-back. Ismail wouldn’t play as a stopper.”

“I have never seen such a group in my career”

Evaluating Fenerbahçe’s group in the Conference League, the former footballer said, “I have never seen such a group in my career. Imagine a team like Nordsjaelland… It scored 6 against one strong opponent and 7 against another but may not advance from the group. Fenerbahçe, who conceded 6 goals, may be the group leader.”

“There is a physical problem with Dzeko”

Rıdvan Dilmen, stating that Fenerbahçe’s striker Edin Dzeko has a physical problem, said, “There is a physical problem with Dzeko, but it is not talked about because he scored. At the beginning of the season, he used to come back to defense, take the ball, and then start sprinting. Now he doesn’t do that.”

“There is no trace of the Fenerbahçe at the beginning of the season”

Continuing his comments on the match where Fenerbahçe won 4-1 against Sivasspor, Dilmen said that the yellow-navy team is not physically good and stated, “I think Fenerbahçe got what it should. They are leading the league. There is no trace of the Fenerbahçe at the beginning of the season physically.”

“Fenerbahçe’s biggest problem…”

Criticizing Fenerbahçe for using a rotated squad in European matches, the famous figure said, “I think the biggest problem of Fenerbahçe is training in Europe. By not playing 8-9 players, you lose this 11.”

“My suggestion to İsmail Kartal…”

Declaring that Fenerbahçe is not physically the same as at the beginning of the season, the former national footballer said, “My suggestion to İsmail Kartal is to bring this team to the physical quality of the beginning of the season.”
