PSG: the terrible first of Milan Škriniar with the Fenerbahçe

It was one of the hot winter transfer windows for Paris Saint-Germain. Drunted in the French capital, Milan Škriniar had been looking for a way out for several weeks. Juventus and Naples were cited as potential falls. The Premier League also checked its name, with incursions from Aston Villa and Tottenham in the race. But it was in Türkiye that the rating of Inter Milan former was at the highest. For a very long time, Galatasaray made the race in the lead, but it is ultimately the Stamboulius rival of Fenerbahçe, trained by José Mourinho, who won the loan with the Roc Slovak: “The 29-year-old Slovak central defender joins the Fenerbahçe SK in Türkiye as part of a loan, until the end of the 2024-2025 season. Paris Saint-Germain wishes Milan for the rest of its season», Could we read in the press release published on the site of the Parisian club. An arrival that gave a smile to José Mourninho during a recent press briefing as part of the meeting against Olympique Lyonnais in the Europa League:

“”I played a small role. The main thing was made by the club. The club's desire and the financial aspect necessarily count. The main role is taken by our sports director Mario Branco. He led all negotiations. I just called Milan Skriniar to explain to him how the Fenerbahçe was a huge club, making him understand his size in Türkiye. I explained that it was a good championship and I said how much Istanbul was a beautiful city». A joy that the team leader had shared, Dušan Tadić, at a press conference: “Milan Skriniar is a great player. He will help us, I have no doubt. It is one of the best and most beautiful recruits of the club. I am very happy with this transfer». After a wait for several days, the Slovak defender made his big debut with the Turkish club this Sunday in Süper Lig against çaykur Rizespor. All at home on the lawn of the şükrü Saracoğlu stadium in the Kadıköy district.

At fault on a goal!

Standing for his great first alongside Münir Live Mercan and Diego Carlos in a three -time defense, Milan Škriniar was put in difficulty against the opposing striker, Ali Sowe, author of a quick double (6th, 13th). If the Slovak is not involved in SOWE's first goal – even if it appears very far from the action, Turkish supporters took it in flu on the second goal from Rizespor. Indeed, if it is difficult to talk about a big individual error, Škriniar took a long time to get on the ball carrier, backing towards his goalkeeper without intervening. He finished the action by tackling late, diverting the covered strike from Sowe. No real CSC for the Slovak international, but Milan Škriniar has not reassured. Thus, the Slovak ended the match with 11 losses of bullets and 3 faults committed: “Milan, Diego and Talisca are high -level players. We can consider them as finished products. They did not play in their old team. We have to work a little and explain our game to them, and they must also find their shape», Raised José Mourinho who calls for patience.

Asked after the meeting, Milan Škriniar preferred to retain the victory torn hardly thanks to a double of Edin Džeko (45th+8, 79th) and a final goal from Youssef En-Nesyri (89th), and especially his return to competition: “”It was a crazy match. We did not start the match well but we then created a lot of opportunities. Four or five of our balloons hit the post. I am happy with our victory for my first match. I found the ground after two months. We want to continue our momentum by improving. Our supporters were really great. They helped me a lot. I felt their support of all my heart». Note that he could even have offered his first goal in the Fenerbahçe jersey with a whim on a corner, but his realization was canceled for a fault. In any case, this is a first complicated for the native of žiar Nad Hronom. There is no doubt that with a little more rhythm, he will find beautiful colors.
