What did Vedat Muriqi say after shining with Fener?

Striker Vedat Muriqi scored four goals in Fenerbahçe’s emphatic 8:0 win over Eyupspor on Sunday evening in the Turkish Super League.

Kosovo’s striker was pleased with Fenerbahçe’s historic victory.

He said Fener’s response had come at the right time.

Fener lost the derby to Beşiktaş two rounds ago, while they were held to a draw by Gaziantep.

“We suffered a derby defeat at home and dropped points against Gaziantep. We needed to respond from the start of the match. During training sessions, it was clear to us that we had to start this match by pressing. We took the lead early on and then the goals kept coming one after another. It was an extraordinary response. It was a historic 8:0 victory. We finished before the international break in the best way possible,” Muriqi told Turkish media after the win.

The striker from Prizren complained about the packed match schedule.

“The big clubs are facing a packed schedule of matches, which includes the league, European competitions and cup matches. The players’ health is important too. We play every three days. After the league break for the national-team matches, we have a very packed schedule ahead of us. We want to achieve good results and, God willing, reach first place by the winter break,” Muriqi stressed.
