Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım, one of the form teams in the Super League, made statements that will be widely discussed on Derin Futbol on Beyaz TV.
"I AM A VIRGIN RIGHT NOW"
Yıldırım, who describes himself as a 'virgin', made a statement saying, "I am a virgin right now, I haven't been spoiled... They will spoil me too," which quickly went viral. The reactions of Ertem Şener, Sinan Engin, and Abdülkerim Durmaz upon hearing Yıldırım's words drew attention.
Yıldırım's statements are as follows;
"I AM ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE DOING BUSINESS ABROAD"
"My health is good, people in Turkey don't know me much, but I am one of the few people doing business abroad. We have investments in 58 countries, and we have more than 200 companies. I spend 5-6 months abroad, and the rest of the time I am in Turkey. I am the 100% owner of Samsunspor. I am the 85% owner of Dunkerque. I went to France for a match last week, Luis Campos was with me. There was no corner, but they gave a corner. I said, 'These didn't exist in France, they were in Turkey. Did it start here too?'
"I HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH MONEY"
I no longer have business with money; from now on, I want 7-8 teams. The model I am implementing does not exist in the world. I want to go to Africa; I want to develop players. Demba Ba is my partner in Dunkerque. I will become a partner in his club in Senegal. There are players I like in Dunkerque, and I will bring them to Turkey. I have a very beautiful football project.
"NOBODY WANTS US TO BE CHAMPIONS"
"As Samsunspor, nobody wants us to be champions in Turkey. The media has a revenue structure. If Samsunspor becomes champion, what will everyone talk about every day?
Whoever plays well, let them be the champion. Galatasaray fans might misunderstand me. Turkey knows me as a Galatasaray sympathizer. Samsunspor didn't exist when I was born; it was established when I was 5 years old. Ali Koç needs to be a champion at least once! Without Ali Koç being a champion, there will be no peace in Turkey. Fenerbahçe fans are going crazy; they are right! 11 years is a long time! For the benefit of Turkish football, Fenerbahçe should be the champion! An earthquake happens, stress is released, and life is rebuilt... Galatasaray has a high chance of being champion, but the same things will continue next year. This should happen for the environment to soften. They say 'structure' but do not explain. For the survival of Turkish football, Fenerbahçe should be the champion. This is the logic.
"I HAVE NO MALICE TOWARDS FENERBAHÇE"
You prove that my player did something intentionally, and I will go and file a match-fixing complaint! We drew attention because Fenerbahçe couldn't beat us.
Jose Mourinho said something nice: 'Fenerbahçe has 35 million fans, 35 million coaches. But what I say is valid.' I have no malice towards Fenerbahçe. The only thing that saddens me is that they are pulling me into the game. They are picking my words due to my honesty. If someone else were in my place, I would go from channel to channel. Fenerbahçe fans say the match starts four weeks before. Then they say, 'If Mobese sees, he talks.' These people couldn't approach me within 100 meters in the business world! The same goes for Ali Koç; we couldn't get an appointment. In France, the former president sat behind me, Luis Campos sat next to me. Look at the power of football! I got into this for good things, but I found myself in the dirt! I have never bet in my life; they said many things for the Kasımpaşa match. Let them prove it; I will terminate their contracts.
"I WILL NOT GIVE A BONUS FOR THE GALATASARAY MATCH"
We will go out to beat Galatasaray. The advantage is with Galatasaray. They will cut their own umbilical cord. I want 9 points by winning the next three matches. This is necessary for third place. If I can't do it, I would like to be fourth. I will not give an extra bonus for the Galatasaray match. I didn't give an extra bonus for the Fenerbahçe match either.
"I AM NOT GIVING A SINGLE COIN MORE"
What I said at the beginning of the season continues exactly the same. I am not giving a single coin more than 200,000 TL. I don't even enter the locker room; that bonus increases. I don't get hyped immediately! Even if I don't give bonuses, the players will go out to win matches against the big four. At the beginning of the season, we write zero points for the matches against Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray. If we get points from these, it will be perfect. I wrote a bonus of 100,000 for the coach's contract if we stay in the league.
"I AM CLOSER TO ALİ KOÇ"
I am closer to Ali Koç. At my first Club Union meeting, Dursun Özbek started to attack Ali Koç. I couldn't stand it, and I said, 'President, what is happening, did we come here for this?' Dursun Özbek said, 'Who are you!' I replied, 'In a moment, Ali Koç will answer you. Did we come here to listen to this?' He responded, 'Go away, you will learn.' I love Ali Koç very much; I wish he would be a champion."
