Cenk Tosun’s Zenit Goal Sparks Calls for Increased Playing Time
Cenk Tosun, with his stylish goal in the Zenit match, demonstrated that he is firmly in the competition for a spot in the striker position. The experienced forward is expected to receive more playing time for the remainder of the season.
Having only played 88 minutes across seven appearances in the Süper Lig, Europa League, and Champions League qualifiers for Fenerbahçe, Tosun made a remarkable comeback in this friendly match.
Showcasing His Quality
In a week when Edin Dzeko and En Nesyri were away on international duty, Tosun was included in the starting XI for the friendly against Zenit. The seasoned striker seized the opportunity to showcase his quality against the strong Russian side.
Sending a Clear Message
Capitalizing on Dusan Tadic’s assist in the 20th minute, Tosun scored to give his team a 1-0 lead and sent a clear message to coach Jose Mourinho: “You don’t need to look far for a striker. I’m right here.” His performance has raised expectations that he will be more prominently featured for the rest of the season.
