The Turkish football legend was stunned by Rangers’ 3-1 triumph, claiming the scoreline could have been even worse for Fenerbahce if not for Dessers’ “muscular shoulders.”
Nihat impressed by Dessers and Rangers
Dessers has been in fine form, and his impact in Rangers’ victory over Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce has only strengthened his case as a top-class striker.
Desserts scored and assisted another as he led Rangers’ onslaught against Fenerbahce and could have had a hat-trick but for two close offside calls.
Nihat, speaking after the match, was in disbelief at how dominant Rangers were, insisting the game should have ended 5-1.
“But let’s be honest here—it should have been 5-1, and if Cyriel Dessers’ shoulder wasn’t as muscly, it would have been. Every top club in Turkey should be fighting to sign him.”
Rangers’ masterclass leaves Mourinho stunned
The Scottish giants made it look easy, with Mohamed Diomande drawing comparisons to Zinedine Zidane from Nihat, while Vaclav Cerny also received high praise.
Rangers’ goals were so effortless that Nihat described them as something out of a PlayStation game after the match.
However, despite Rangers’ dominant display, Mourinho remains defiant, warning Rangers not to celebrate too early. “The only thing I tell them is, don’t celebrate too much because there is a second match,” the Portuguese coach said.
With Dessers in great form, the second leg promises to be another spectacle, and if he continues like this, top clubs across Europe will surely come calling.
