The eternal rivalry between the Super League giants Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray continues. Recently, Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç made claims about Galatasaray selling tickets on the black market, to which Galatasaray responded very harshly. The statement included the words, "You wouldn't believe it if you explained it to elementary school children." "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"The statement included, "Where do you find the audacity to insult the judiciary of this country? Do you think you can dictate to the institutions of the state with the power you possess? What do you really think of yourself?" The yellow-reds responded to Ali Koç's words regarding the black market tickets, stating "56 million euros." Here is the full statement from Galatasaray; "In recent months, our president Dursun Aydın Özbek has filed a complaint regarding the speculations aimed at dragging our club into controversy, and has taken the allegations to the judiciary for investigation and punishment of any responsible parties. A comprehensive investigation has been conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding these allegations, which are entirely based on rumors, and it has been determined that there is no concrete information or documents that could verify the accuracy of the claims from the witnesses. "THIS DECISION HAS BEEN FINALIZED"It has been established that the allegations learned by the witnesses from each other through written and visual media and social media have been brought to the public's attention on social media. In addition, detailed investigations have been carried out through the necessary institutions and organizations, and no evidence capable of proving the allegations has been found. As a result, a decision has been made that there is no ground for prosecution against the suspects, and this decision has been finalized. During this process, our club has preferred not to respond to provocations and slanders made about the issue, especially due to the sensitivity of the matter being in the judiciary. Despite the sensitivity we have shown during the process, at this point, we see that a new game is beginning to be staged by the president of the rival club, who cannot manage to win on the field, and his associates in supporting roles. This person, who has seized a witness statement from the file, and his friends have shamelessly expressed these absurdities at a press conference. The statement in question belongs to a former GSTV presenter who was dismissed in 2023, and we will meticulously follow the legal process regarding this individual, whom we suspect has made false statements to the competent authorities with some kind of motivation. "EVEN IF YOU EXPLAIN IT TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN, THEY WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT"The truly alarming thing is that the president of the rival club, whose management of a holding company has been incomprehensible for years and who is oblivious to accounting, has uttered a figure like 56 million euros while looking into the cameras during a live broadcast. We leave it to the judgment of the Turkish sports public how much this person and his friends are in need of believing in stories that you wouldn't even be able to convince elementary school children, such as "They sold black market tickets, they made transfers with it, they are beating us because of that."
