The president of Samsunspor, Yüksel Yıldırım, one of the form teams in the Super League, made statements before the Galatasaray match. Yıldırım expressed his desire to defeat the yellow-reds while also speaking about Fenerbahçe. "FENERBAHÇE WAS DEFEATED TOO"Yıldırım, who stated that they would defeat Galatasaray, said, "I say I will go out and defeat Galatasaray, but I could also lose. Fenerbahçe was defeated too. Did anyone say anything? Did they say Fener sold the match? No matter what I do tomorrow, I won't make one side happy. I am the president of Samsunspor. I am second in the league, and I want to at least stay second," he said. "THEY WERE DEFEATED BY KIDS"On the other hand, Yıldırım also made statements about Fenerbahçe, evaluating their defeat against AZ Alkmaar. Yıldırım said, "I watched Fenerbahçe's match against AZ Alkmaar; they were defeated by kids in Europe. There are no kids aged 18-21 in Europe, but there are in Turkey. They are not looking at themselves. Fenerbahçe is not asking how to fix their course. They promised their fans at the beginning of the season, and the fans want that. If they keep their promises, they will become heroes; if they don't, they will become something else. That is not my job. What Ali Koç said is on record. They are putting pressure on us to fulfill their promises, saying 'Defeat Galatasaray!' but I will not lose to Galatasaray. Galatasaray may come and crush us, but I will go out on the field to get points," he stated.
