'I was emotional after the goal' Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who scored the two goals that knocked Nice down, made a statement: We talked last night

In the 2nd week of UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe defeated Nice of France with a score of 2-1. Speaking to the press after the match, yellow-lacivertli soccer player Kerem Aktürkoğlu said, "The important thing was the win. I am also happy that I contributed to the win with my goals. We wanted to present our fans with a win with good football and performance. That's all we wanted. I think we did it by playing beautiful football and reflecting it on the field. The important thing was the win. I am also happy to contribute individually. I hope it will continue like this," he said.

"İsmail is a footballer whose value is not appreciated much"

Saying that İsmail Yüksek is a good footballer, Aktürkoğlu said, "He is a footballer whose value is not known very much. He is a very perfect person. We are together including national teams. We were always on very good terms. I wanted to come here very much and İsmail was encouraging me a lot. That's why our friendship continues here in a very good way. Thanks to him, he also assisted the second goal today. I think Ismail is definitely the player of the match. He has been playing great for two weeks. Thanks to the efforts of my teammates."

Upon being reminded that he scored two goals against Nice, the 26-year-old footballer said, "When you score goals you are the best footballer in the world, when you don't score goals you are the worst footballer in the world. Unfortunately, football is a bit ungrateful in this regard. I am always happy when the team wins. Of course, it is very important to score goals and make assists individually, but winning is more important than anything else."

"I was really touched when everyone ran towards me at the goal"

Emphasizing that everyone in Samandıra gets along well with each other, the yellow-lacivert player said, "I joined later. Of course, at first I was better with the Turks, but now I am very close with everyone. I was really touched when everyone ran towards me for the goal. We have a very nice environment. If you can't reflect this on the field as a score, people will talk about different things. We really have a very good atmosphere. After reflecting this on the field, its meaning and importance increases even more. I hope we can continue this. We can give our fans what they want," he said.

"When I talked to my coach, he said he was very pleased with me"

When asked about his views on Fenerbahçe Technical Director Domenico Tedesco, Kerem Aktürkoğlu said, "He is really a very valuable person. We spoke with him yesterday at night. When I asked him what he wanted from me, he said he was very pleased with me. This is important for me. I have social media accounts but I don't use social media, I have a team. People share different things about me. I think I might be the only footballer in Turkey where a different statistic is kept. Nobody's statistics are kept. After I left Turkey, those statistics were not kept, but after I came back, they started to be kept again. This is very annoying. These are very small things. A player is evaluated through applications. If his score is high, he played great, if it's low, he played very badly. I don't believe in this in football. People who know football don't believe in this either. It doesn't have much value. When I talked to my coach, he said he was very happy with me. Contributing to the score is something every footballer wants. I am also a footballer who can contribute to the score. I have performed so far. People may have expectations. When I talked to my coach, he told me that he was satisfied even when I couldn't contribute to the score, that I did everything as he wanted. What is important for me is what the coach says, what people who really know football say. The rest is not very important," he replied.

Stating that the Harry Potter goal joy here was different, Aktürkoğlu said, "Because you saw my teammates, they also wanted it very much. They celebrated with me. It was much more meaningful for me today."
