Sportsman and organizer Nedim Delibaş answered the questions of sports director Aykut Aydın in the Guest of the Week program broadcast on D-Smart.
Nedim Delibaş commented on the latest situation in the Super League:
“Dursun Özbek is doing well at Galatasaray. Zaniolo from Rome was also the strawberry of the season. Özbek’s presidency was being discussed at the beginning of the season. However, with the Erden Timur factor, he took the responsibility and united the community. Erden Timur left his mark on this season as a manager. Okan stood behind the teacher. He has a huge impact on the team, both financially and morally. Galatasaray’s economic salvation project Florya project. The team is leading the league and seems to have some advantage. All managers are required to make calm sensitive statements. Styles between clubs have hardened. Fenerbahce has experienced a tremendous failure for 5 years. Beşiktaş also has 5 points that they expect from Gaziantep FK and Hatayspor matches. A very critical period awaits us in the league.
Fenerbahce’s biggest rival is itself. I watched six matches of Jorge Jesus live. I didn’t understand how the team played in the first game I watched. I think I didn’t like the team even when everyone was praising it. My biggest criticism about Jesus is the trouble he had with Arda Güler. I don’t know why he is stubborn not to play. Arda Güler needs to win. Fenerbahçe has a Jesus problem. But in general, Ali Koç also has a management problem. Countless coaches, countless bad transfers. The star of the team is 32-year-old Enner Valencia. I did not find Jesus’ choice correct at the beginning of the season. I think Aykut Kocaman should have been preferred. There is a failure in Fenerbahçe, there is another 5 years to be accounted for. I think Ali Koç failed. The President should have listened to the criticism. The presidency of the club was too big for Ali Koç.” said.
Nedim Delibaş also said the following about the Fenerbahçe – Beşiktaş derby, which will be played after the national match:
“Fenerbahce reduced the gap to 3 points with the summit. Fenerbahce does not give up the championship race. I think Fenerbahçe can easily beat Beşiktaş in the derby. Fenerbahce has a better fixture in the remaining matches. Of course, the most advantageous team is Galatasaray. I think it will be a race that will last until the last week.” said.
Delibaş also evaluated Beşiktaş:
“If Beşiktaş gets the 5 points lost in Gaziantep FK and Hatayspor matches, they enter the championship pot. In my opinion, all matches are considered unplayed. I find it correct to reset the points in the past matches. I think Beşiktaş’s demand is justified. But Beşiktaş has had a problem since the beginning of the season. The fans are against the management. Recently, there has been a recovery with Şenol Güneş. But Beşiktaş has been unsuccessful in every way this season.”
Metin Saltik, President of the New Mersin İdman Yurdu, who was connected to the program by phone, talked about the successful season the team had:
“Our goal this year is to go to the top league. We are struggling to carry the team up. I have been working for 7 years and I have seen 3 championships. We will do our best to represent Mersin in the best possible way. Managing a club in Turkey is very difficult. We are trying to manage the club in a way that will not put the club in financial trouble, thinking about the future. We continue on our way with 90-95% of our own resources. We play the games with high audience numbers.” he said.
Nedim Delibaş said that Turkey, which is competing in the EURO 2024 Qualifiers, must be in the finals. Stating that Stefan Kuntz has made some changes in the intervening time, Delibaş said, “There will almost be a second Kuntz period and I trust this period. I think we will beat Armenia, but the Croatia match will be difficult.” said.
Nedim Delibaş said that they took action to make the Turkish Sports Awards organization respected abroad and that they first changed its name to the ‘Big Sport Summit’ award ceremony:
“These organizations are very difficult. We have brought very important world-class names. We want to work on par with the largest organizations around the world. We want to show the unifying power of sport.” said.
