Alexander Djiku Embraces Positional Flexibility for Fenerbahce’s Success

Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku has expressed his willingness to play any position for Fenerbahce, highlighting his commitment to the team’s success. Following Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League draw against Manchester United, where he occasionally shifted to right-back, Djiku emphasized that he is ready to take on any role assigned by manager Jose Mourinho.

“If my coach wants me to play left-back or right-back, I will gladly do it. Of course, my preferred position is stopper. But if my coach gives me another task or needs me in another position, I can play there as well,” Djiku shared in his post-match interview.

Reflecting on the team’s performance, Djiku praised their resilience, stating, “We performed well in the first half, despite going down 1-0. We didn’t give up and managed to level at 1-1, creating chances that could have brought us victory.”

Under Mourinho’s guidance, Djiku is proving to be a versatile and valuable asset for Fenerbahce, with his adaptability on full display against Manchester United.
