Fenerbahce’s statement after Galatasaray’s incident
Fenerbahce reacted to the suspension of Adana Demirspor vs Galatasaray with a strong statement targeting the champions whom they accused of ruining Turkish football.
“Your fraudulent player contracts, black market tickets and illegal betting advertisements may keep on deceiving the State and the Turkish Football Federation,” the statement reads.
“Your illicit connections in the press and insincere statements may keep on deceiving the public, your football players may keep on deceiving referees and football fans for years with their rigged moves,
“Thanks to you there is neither trust nor justice left in Turkish football. Nevertheless, you always claim to be innocent and to be victimized
“Congratulations! Look what you have turned Turkish football into!”
It was not the first time the Special One had aimed a dig at Gala. Last week, he shared a photo of Davison Sanchez’s blatant handball, which was not awarded as a penalty.
The incident further highlights the chaos in Turkish football particularly with the officiating and it deepens the rivalry between the top clubs Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
It was not the first time a match had been abandoned, the Turkish Super Cup match between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in April 2024 was abandoned after the Blue and Yellow walked off the pitch.
Their action was in protest against the federation after requesting that the match be postponed to allow them to prepare for an upcoming UEFA Europa League match.
The abandoned Adana Demirspor vs Galatasaray match still awaits the verdict of the Turkish Football Federation to decide if it will be continued or forfeited.
