Alexander Djiku: We must beat Galatasaray for our pride

In the 36th week of the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe defeated Kayserispor 3-0 at home, carrying their championship hopes into the final two weeks. Following the match, players Çağlar Söyüncü, Michy Batshuayi, and Alexander Djiku shared their assessments.

Stating that they played with superiority in the match, Çağlar Söyüncü said, "The team's victory is more important. What matters here is Fenerbahçe. We will try to be worthy of this place as much as we can. We played with superiority in the match. We thank the fans in the stands. We will win the last 2 matches and leave the rest to divine providence."

"BEING A FENERBAHÇE FAN IS TRULY A PRIVILEGE"

Addressing the reactions of the fans, Söyüncü said, "We understand the fans. They have always supported us, and of course, there will be criticism. We take the constructive criticism because we are aware of our mistakes. I thank them; being a Fenerbahçe fan is truly a privilege."

Noting that İsmail Kartal played him in the number 6 position due to injuries, Djiku said, "I can say that I am happy. As a team, we showed a good spirit. It was a match we had to win, and we are happy. I will do my best regardless of the position I play in. If I was able to help the team, I am happy. Coach İsmail played me in the number 6 position due to injuries. When our injured teammates return, I will return to my own position."

"WE WILL GO TO BEAT GALATASARAY"

Saying, "We need to beat Galatasaray for our pride," Djiku added, "Everyone is waiting for the Galatasaray derby. We need to beat Galatasaray for our own pride. We will go to beat Galatasaray. It will be a difficult match. We want to finish the remaining two matches in the best way possible."

Stating that he does his best whenever he is called upon, Batshuayi said, "As everyone knows well, I haven't had much playing time this season. It is difficult for me as well. I continued to work and tried to help the team. I saw that they believed in me on the pitch. I continued to do my best. Whenever I was given a task, I tried to do my best."

"İSMAİL KARTAL WILL DECIDE WHO PLAYS IN THE DERBY"

Expressing his desire to play in the Galatasaray derby, Batshuayi said, "The Galatasaray derby is very important. Edin Dzeko will want to play, and I want to play too. Everyone wants to play. The only important thing is for Fenerbahçe to win. İsmail Kartal will make the decision on who will play."
