İrfan Can Kahveci, who scored two goals in Fenerbahçe's 5-0 win over Çorum FK, which he hosted in the 11th week of the Trendyol Super League, left his mark on the match. The national football player, who scored two elegant goals from outside the penalty area in his 200th match with the yellow-dark blue jersey, evaluated the victory after the match.

Kahveci said, "I played my 200th match in my hometown and scored a goal. I am very happy. I hope we can achieve series with our new coach. I hope we will continue like this."

"I WAS SORRY WHEN I DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVITATION FROM THE NATIONAL TEAM"

Speaking about not being invited to the national team squad and the comments that emerged after the goal celebration, Kahveci said, "Well, frankly, I think I'm in good form, I think I'm good. Of course, I was upset when I didn't receive the invitation. I mean, it's not a lie. But I didn't do anything related to Sergen coach in joy. It has nothing to do with it. Because Sergen coach is a name I like and respect. In other words, he's a name I know personally. There is no such thing, it's about joy. Don't get me wrong."

Expressing his wishes for success to the national team, the experienced player said, "The national team will play their first match with our new coach, coach Sergen. I hope they will be successful. The national flag, that jersey is something very different. It is above all else. I hope they will be successful, both to the coaching team and to my football brothers."

This is how his teammates and technical staff congratulated İrfan Can, who crowned his 200th match with 2 goals, in the locker room.

"I AM MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS"

Answering the question about the effect of coach changes on his performance, Kahveci said, "No, actually I don't think it has anything to do with the change of coach. Of course, some coaches give you more confidence, you can rise higher. But I try to do whatever they want with each coach. And I have been paying great attention to myself and working for a long time. So I know that these days will come. Better days will come for me. Because I work without giving up. Let people criticize me as much as they want, that is, say other things. I mind my own business." he said.

"AS WICHES COME, THE TEAM'S TEAM RISES"

Evaluating the atmosphere in the team, Kahveci said, "As the victories come, the team's atmosphere increases. This is a normal thing. It is like this in every team. I hope we will continue with victories and reach the end of the season."

"EMRE HOCA IS A PERSON WHO HAS IMPROVED HIMSELF MUCH"

Speaking about Coach Emre Belözoğlu, Kahveci said, "Emre Hodja is a person who has improved himself a lot as a person. You can understand this from his speech, his tactics in training, everything. People who really know football can understand the game we play today. I do not want to disrespect our former coaches here. The efforts of Ismail Hodja cannot be ignored. I would like to thank them very much from here."
