"FENERBAHÇE'S PROBLEMS ARE BIGGER THAN İSMAİL KARTAL"
Making evaluations about İsmail Kartal's future in Fenerbahçe, Yalçın argued that there is a lack of leadership in the experienced coach.
Yalçın said, "İsmail Kartal... Decide whether you will be a coach at Fenerbahçe or not. Fenerbahçe's problems are much bigger than İsmail Hodja. İsmail Kartal does not have a leadership position. He says 'Fenerbahçe is a very big community', we know it. Why do you constantly apologize to the fans? Solve the problem as soon as possible. There is no energy in the team, there is no game, there is no desire."
"THEY SHOULD GET HALF OF THE SALARY THEY GET HERE IN ANOTHER TEAM..."

Yalçın made a very assertive statement regarding the wages received by foreign football players:
"Fenerbahçe's squad engineering is 100 percent wrong. While watching the match, I thought I would look at the squads. For example, who will enter the game in Fenerbahçe? Who is there in the squad that will excite the fans?
I claim! "In Fenerbahçe, especially foreign players should receive half the salary they receive here in another team, I will not do this job again."
"YOU BUILD THE SQUAD YOURSELF"
Yalçın stated that İsmail Kartal should have known the risks he might face when taking over the team at the beginning of the season, and stated that Kartal's situation was not the same as his own tenure as coach.
Sergen Yalçın said, "Ismail Hodja knew that if things went bad in the big community, this would happen to him, right? The example is right here in front of you. And you came at the beginning of the season and set up the squad yourself. The situation is not the same."
