Former Fenerbahçe player Rade Krunic makes 'amateurs' statement

Krunic madeexplosive remarks in an interview with the Serbian pressregarding his career at theYellow-Navy club.

The player, who is currently continuing his career at Serbian league side Red Star Belgrade,spoke to the Serbian outlet Kurir about hisFenerbahçeadventure.He gave attention-grabbing statements about his time there.

The 32-year-old footballer emphasized thatthere was a very difficult environment at Fenerbahçe,stating, "Fenerbahçeis a very difficult environment. Very, very difficult. To befrankItsurprised me; that such a big club, despite having such major goals and organization, couldthink in such simple terms. I saw. In terms of football, I realized how uneducated they were and how they failed to grasp the game correctly.

"I COULD NOT HAVE IMAGINEDTHEY WERE THIS AMATEUR"

I actually knew where I was going; at the club,I was welcomed by Dusan Tadic and Edin Dzeko.Dominik Livakovic and Miha Zajc were also there. They told me what Fenerbahçe was,but still, I could not have imagined they were this amatI couldn't imagine what they werelike. In some football departments. To befrank,I couldn't adapt. Neither to the style of play nor to that 'wild' football. In Italy, I was used to knowing exactly what I had to do. On the pitch, I didn't have toimprovise ormake things up. In my opinion, it's notprofessionalto do that," he stated.

"THEY SHOULD QUESTION WHY THEY COULD NOT BECOME CHAMPIONS"

Stating that the arrival of Jose Mourinho did not change his situation at theYellow-Navy club,Krunic said, "After half a season at Fenerbahçe, Jose Mourinho arrived,and I did not see achance for myself there."I saw it.

I was sure I could do it with him; he is a very good coach. But it turned out he wasn't the right coach for Fenerbahçe either;they criticized him for being defensive and for the team not scoring enough goals. However, he has a winning mentality and knows how to winmatches.He plays for results. They didn't care much about that. In the end,he also had to leave.Perhaps they should question why they haven't been champions for 12 years. Compared to them, Galatasaray is more European-oriented.is superior and that is why they are dominating the league," heassessed.

Rade Krunic found the opportunity to play in a total of 22 matches while wearing the Fenerbahçe jersey and provided 1 assist.
