With the… soul in the mouth Fenerbahce bent Merkezefendi’s resistance (79-72) for the Turkish league, in a game where Dimitris Itoudis was sent off in the first half for loud protests to the referees!
Speaking after the match, Fener’s captain, Melih Mahmutoglu, referred to the upcoming duels with Olympic in the Euroleague playoffs, expressing his opinion that the “red and white” are also afraid of the quality and size of Fenerbahçe.
What Melih Mahmutoglu said in detail:
“Next week we will go to Olympiakos. Merkezefendi was a dangerous opponent today. But with our smarter play in the second half, we were able to win. Now all our attention turns to the away match against Olympiakos. I hope we come back from there with victories.
I think Olympiacos is also afraid of us. We are Fenerbahce. We couldn’t get the wins we wanted in the last few matches, we could have finished even higher if we got them. We always lost games in the final. If we could win games like the ones against Armani and Valencia, maybe we could finish in the top four. Our capabilities are already there. I hope our injuries will improve and we will be full
We did it the year we came out champions, and we believe we will do it again. Let’s go with this logic. Let’s hope we come back from there with a win.”
