Fenerbahce football team captains Emre Belozoglu and Volkan Demirel urged players to take training sessions more serious, according to Turkish daily newspaper Vatan. Both players are unhappy with relaxation by some players at trainings.
According to Vatan, in two different occassions Volkan and Emre were unhappy at the attitude provided by their fellow players during training to the Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game against Bursaspor.
In one of the incident, Volkan have seen some unserious behaviour by his team mate Emmanuel Emenike, to which Volkan responded by "Guys, I want some seriousness. No need for loose behaviour".
After this incident, Emenike had approached to Volkan saying "Did you say it to me?", to which Volkan replied that it was for everybody in the team.
There were also reports that Emre Belozoglu had tough talk about players being relaxed during 28th week game against Eskisehirspor. Club captain had following conversation with his team-mates.
"Without any point difference everyone is relaxing like we are arleady champions. Why there is such calmness in club? Where is that team which puts pressure to opponents whole game? Following the game against Bursaspor everyone in football world said "Job is done". We had believed those words.
In game against Bursaspor we had run, fought during the game and in return we got 3 points. But this time we played we werent in game. Their (media) said for us "Fixture is easy, derbies are over". That is true, but without playing games are not won. We had experienced this once again in hard way. We should get serious once more. We should put hats to the table and criticise ourselves. Lets agree we are lucky to get 1 point with this performance".
