Nihat Kahveci reveals the turning point of the season for Fenerbahçe!

In the 2023-2024 season of the Super Lig, where Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe broke records, the team that reached the championship was Galatasaray.

While the Yellow-Reds declared their 24th championship with 102 points, Fenerbahçe finished the league in second place with 99 points.

Sports commentator Nihat Kahveci evaluated the championship race between the two teams on the Nutspor YouTube channel.

Kahveci pointed to a surprising event as the turning point of the historic season.

Here are Nihat Kahveci's statements:

"To me, the biggest turning point... Everyone can say something, they can say 'they dropped points at home to Alanya, they dropped points to Sivas and Konya'...

I think the biggest turning point was when Coach İsmail complied with the decision of the president and the board of directors... Not showing up for the Super Cup match... Think about how you beat them away. Imagine if they had beaten Galatasaray that day.

Wouldn't Galatasaray have been affected in the league? Wouldn't there have been a higher possibility of them feeling the pressure of the championship once you handed them that Super Cup? You gave them the cup that day... 'Oh, they won another cup.' People relax, they don't look at whether you showed up or not.

With that comfort, Galatasaray just cruised until the Fenerbahçe match. They kept winning, but what if the opposite had happened that day?

You saw it this week, look at what was talked about when Galatasaray lost. The fans, the dissatisfaction, Icardi was criticized, Coach Okan was criticized this week!

Well, you could have achieved that back then. The end result could have been a championship."
