"Acun Ilıcalı's controversial statements about Galatasaray"

Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı made statements about Galatasaray that will be widely discussed after their match where they defeated Gaziantep FK 3-1. Ilıcalı targeted the yellow-red club's executives and the statements made after the Eyüpspor match with harsh words.

"WE UNITED AS A COMMUNITY"

Acun Ilıcalı's words are as follows;

We started the season with a big goal. When we lost points, we said that losing points is possible, that's football. You can lose today, then catch a streak. We said that it is uncertain who will cross the finish line at the end of the season. We reduced the point difference. Our team has faith, and our fans also support us with faith. I haven't heard such a strong voice in a long time. We felt the belief of our fans. The players are also happy. We united as a community. We want to continue on our way by winning victories in this difficult season.

"WE BALANCED THE SCALE, THEY VANISHED"

Our opponent has great reactions. They are in rebellion. We are having difficulty understanding this issue. I am saying this in the truest sense. We are shocked. Let me explain what I don't understand. If you remember, a Galatasaray executive said that referee errors are made against us. We said let's examine it closely. We balanced the scale, we brought in a foreign referee, he didn't find it appropriate. We said bring your own referee, and they vanished. If you want to understand why they vanished, you can look very clearly at yesterday.

"AN UNBELIEVABLE MATCH, AS IF THEY WERE THE VICTIMS"

Unfortunately, Galatasaray executives think there is no other team in Turkey. Our friends who manage Galatasaray should understand this well, there is an opponent, and the opponent's rights are also being violated. Yesterday, I looked, the place was in ruins. Incredible things happened. If you look at the statements, it was just an unbelievable match, and Galatasaray was the victim.

"SANCHEZ SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A RED CARD"

We are looking at the positions, the referee's comments, is there a mistake against Galatasaray? Yes, there is, Galatasaray should have been left with 10 players in the 25th minute. A clear penalty for the opponent was not given. You didn't see the red card. Davinson Sanchez will not play in Sivas either. The referee made such two big mistakes in your favor, and you are causing chaos. Do you think there is no other team in Turkey? Doesn't one of you say there is a penalty, there is a red card? There is that against us, this against us, which positions are clearer? The position in front of the referee, he steps on one foot, then steps on the other foot again. Davinson tried something like this, he stepped with both feet, it was an obvious foul. They say there are two yellow cards, everyone's head is confused. It happened in front of the referee, he wasn't sent off.

"TURKEY SEEMS TO BE GALATASARAY'S PRISONER"

Let's say the referee managed poorly, made mistakes on both sides, is there no opposing team! Was Eyüpspor's right not violated? Is there an objection to a second yellow leading to a red in Turkey? Is there no other team in Turkey, only Galatasaray? It seems as if Turkey is a prisoner of Galatasaray. They are objecting to the days the matches are played, there is no injustice. They are causing chaos. Everyone is equally rested. After the Galatasaray-Beşiktaş match, 8 yellow cards and 2 red cards were missed. Galatasaray has continued its streak of not receiving a red card in Turkey for 2 years.

"IS THERE ANYONE IN EYÜPSPOR WHO IS REBELLING? WE WILL DESTROY THIS ORDER"

Is there anyone in Eyüpspor who is rebelling? Galatasaray is causing chaos. We will destroy this order, we will destroy this injustice. We will defeat those who say I am here, let everyone else die. We might lose a match tomorrow or the day after. We are not an unbeatable team. We are committed to the championship, the entire community is walking this path. God willing, everyone will see what will happen this year. The opposing team is constantly making statements while we are playing the match. It happened during the last match. We do not want polemics.
