Ismail Kartal Finds a New Trump Card Ahead of the Derby
Fenerbahçe's head coach Ismail Kartal has gained a new 'joker player' after the impressive performance of Cengiz Ünder this season.
Throughout the season, Ismail Kartal has efficiently utilized some players in multiple positions to get the maximum output from his squad.
Among Ismail Kartal’s trump cards are Jayden Oosterwolde and Ferdi Kadıoğlu.
After injuries in the squad, Ismail Kartal has frequently deployed left-back Jayden Oosterwolde as a center-back. Similarly, Ferdi Kadıoğlu has been assigned the role of right-back in certain matches.
Ferdi Kadıoğlu, who played as a right-back in the first Ludogorets match in the UEFA Europa Conference League, continued to be utilized in that position in Super Lig games against Samsunspor, Başakşehir, and Kasımpaşa.
Moreover, following Cengiz Ünder’s impressive performance against Kayserispor, Ismail Kartal now has the option to move İrfan Can Kahveci to the number 8 position.
Considering Fred’s suspension, Ismail Kartal may also deploy İrfan Can Kahveci in the number 8 role, while Cengiz Ünder could be assigned to the right-wing position in the upcoming derby.
