Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım made striking statements about former football player Anthony Musaba, who played against Fenerbahçe in the Turkcell Super Cup semi-final.

"DID NOT SAY GOODBYE, DID NOTHING"

Yıldırım stated that Musaba did not say goodbye to the club, the coaching staff, or the team during the transfer process, saying, "Anthony Musaba acted very disrespectfully. You are going from Samsunspor to Fenerbahçe. The money was deposited on January 2. You are playing in a match on January 6. He did not say goodbye to the team, the coach, or us."

THANK YOU MESSAGE REMOVED

Yüksel Yıldırım also touched upon the thank you message published by Samsunspor for Musaba, saying, "As a club, we published a thank you message to him for his economic contribution. We removed our thank you note after yesterday's match."

"HE'S DANCING, ENERGIZING THE FANS"

Criticizing Musaba's behavior during the match, Yıldırım reacted to the player's actions after scoring goals, saying, "In the world, a player does not even celebrate when he scores against his former team. Musaba had none of that. I was shocked yesterday. He is dancing after the goals, energizing the fans."

"COMPLETELY MONEY-ORIENTED… VERY SHOWY"

The Samsunspor President also commented on Musaba's post-match images, saying, "He is a completely money-oriented player. And then he is crying live on air after the match. What are you crying about? Apparently, he was emotional. He is a very showy person. I was incredibly angry and sad."
