Nigeria international, Emmanuel Emenike during the derby against Beşiktaş match at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on Sunday tore off his shirt in anger and ran off the pitch, and asked his manager to substitute him in the first half, because his fans booed him for missing a chance, which would have put his side ahead… The Fenerbahçe forward will therefore face disciplinary action…
Emenike, would have walked down the tunnel, if not for the intervention of Fenerbahçe manager Ismail Kartal and his technical staff and Kartal eventually managed to convince him to put his shirt back on and return to the pitch.
A former referee in Turkey Ahmet Çakar said Emenike deserved punishment for leaving the pitch and re-entering without permission. He said it was a technical error not to have booked the player, and that the action could mean a replay of the derby.
“These incidents are not even open to interpretation, they are all bookable offences, the first thing they teach amateur referees are the rules of the game,” Turkish Football quoted Çakar as saying on Beyaz Tv, Punch reports.
His manager, Kartal told Lig Tv that:
“I prayed for Emenike to score and win over the fans again, The fans need to be more patient and understanding, he cannot change around his fortunes with everyone getting on his back.”Although Fenerbahçe eventually won after a 90th minute goal from Mousa Sow, but Kartal had although substituted Emenike at the start of the second half.
The manager also gave Emenike a two-day leave to be spent in Nigeria during the international break.
Should Emenike have left the pitch just because fans booed him???
