Fenerbahçe 4-2 Manisaspor: 18 Years Old Okan Alkan Sets Broken-Winged Canaries Free

Fenerbahçe have finally gotten out of the blocks with their second win of the Spor Toto Super League season after heavy loses to Young Boys and Paok on European qualifications. Yellow Canaries deserved important win against Mainsaspor to secure title challenge after european elimination. Captain Alex de Souza’s nice touch on 17 minutes, experienced defender Diego Lugano’s header on 62 minutes and Senegalese star Mamadou Niang’s two goals on 69, 73 minutes sealed the three points for Aykut Kocama’s side.

Another lovely point that two of Fenerbahçe’s homegrown players Okan Alkan and Mert Günok has been launched into the first team after a very long time. They completely gave a great performance and fans pleased to see  some of young players has been indicated to first eleven. The sports editors have chosen youngster Okan Alkan as man of the week with his two assists and one goal-line clearence. To be honest 18 years old wing back extremely deserved this award and made us fly on the 9th cloud aganist his form. Fenerbahçe supporters  missed to watch home-grown players the most since many years. Hope to see more of these talented players under Fenerbahçe shirt alongside Aykut Kocaman cause Yellow Canaries have the best facilities in the world. We have to benefit from these players instead of spending millions. This makes it easy for the squad to adapt easily when they are promoted. This is solution how whole team can learn to play the Fenerbahçe way.
