Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan made statements in response to the reactions they received after the 2-1 victory against Galatasaray in the Super League, saying, "No one should try to give advice to those who manage or support Trabzonspor. Our intelligence is more than enough for us. Even our aunts who are 70-80 years old have more football knowledge than those who make these comments. Everyone should know their place."
Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan made striking statements after the 2-1 victory against Galatasaray in the Super League.
"I DID NOT LIKE THE REFEREE'S PERFORMANCE"
Criticizing the referee's performance, Ertuğrul Doğan said, "I did not like the performance of referee Cihan Aydın! Clear and straightforward! Despite these decisions, I congratulate my players who were successful on the field."
"MY REQUEST FROM TRABZON MEDIA...''
Continuing his words, Ertuğrul Doğan said, "I wholeheartedly congratulate Mr. Fatih Tekke and all our players. I also congratulate one by one the Trabzonspor fans who filled this place today; it was very important that they did not leave these kids alone. May it be beneficial for our entire community. Of course, this is just a victory. We will all experience the happiness of today together, but starting tomorrow, we will plan for the next week. The Galatasaray match was worth 3 points, and the Alanya match is also worth 3 points; it was no more than a single match for us. My request from the Trabzonspor media is, let's enjoy our Sunday tomorrow, but let's not get carried away starting Monday! The budgets of our rivals are very high, Fatih Tekke and his team are doing a great job. We must be controlled and organized." he stated.
"EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THEIR PLACE!"
Speaking about the reactions they received from the Galatasaray community, Doğan said, "No one should try to give advice to those who manage or support Trabzonspor. Our intelligence is more than enough for us. Even our aunts who are 70-80 years old have more football knowledge than those who make these comments. I ask everyone to know their place. I am the president of Trabzonspor Club. I have been called to resign by my fans many times; have I ever stood up and made a single comment? The fans will do that, and they will love us today. The reality of this job is this. Those who do not know this will not be here." he expressed.
"WE ARE LEADERS IN BONUSES!"
Stating that he gave bonuses to the team after the match, Doğan responded to the words, "Galatasaray announced a bonus of 1 million euros, you acted modestly," by saying, "I just gave more bonuses. We are also leaders in bonuses."
"A 3-4 YEAR PLANNING WITH FATIH TEKKE''
Finally, Ertuğrul Doğan stated, "We have a 3-4 year plan with Fatih Tekke. In the first year of the planning, Fatih Tekke and his team were successful. The winner of this year is Fatih Tekke, his team, and Trabzonspor."
