Emenike still ‘fighting’ for Fenerbahce

Fenerbahçe striker Emmanuel Emenike believes he has turned over a new leaf and that he will continue to fight for his side as the title race hots up.

Emenike came under fire from sections of the press and fans for his poor scoring record this season.

Fenerbahçe have one of the worst conversion rates in the league (9%) and Emenike has been blamed as being the main culprit.

 I have accepted it the way it comes, it was not a fair season for me but I think my confidence and energy remains. When I’m on the pitch, the fighting spirit remains and I see my confidence increasing but to be fair I still have more to give,” Emenike told AfricanFootball.com.
