Fenerbahce manager Ismail Kartal has urged supporters to show understanding with Emmanuel Emenike, in the wake of the striker attempting to get himself substituted last weekend.
With only four goals to his name this season, the Nigeria international is lacking in confidence, and after missing a sitter against Besiktas, his own fans booed him.
”Emenike has seen war in Nigeria, the player has had a very difficult childhood. And that’s the reason he is full of emotions,” Kartal said at a press conference.
”He is a pretty good man, we have to show him more understanding. After what happened in the Besiktas match, I sat down and talked with him.”
Coach Kartal added: ”Now his morale is better and he has began to laugh. We should note that Emenike is our contracted player.
”He is playing in the most important part of our game as a striker, and we cannot keep him away or out.
”However, we do not know what will happen in the future.”
Emenike is not the first player to be booed by Fenerbahce supporters, with ex Spain international Daniel Güiza also suffering the same fate after having a bad game against Trabzonspor.
However, Güiza did not get upset and attempt to walk away from the pitch.
