In the match where Fenerbahçe defeated Antalyaspor 3-0, Mert Müldür, who scored a goal, made statements after the game. Regarding his goal celebration, which was interpreted as a reference to Okan Buruk, Müldür said, "I have celebrated this way before; it doesn't have a special meaning."
In the 26th week of the Super League, Fenerbahçe defeated Antalyaspor 3-0 at home. The yellow-navy team won the match with goals from Mert Müldür, Tadic, and En Nesyri. In a week where the leader Galatasaray dropped points, Fenerbahçe reduced the point difference to 4 by winning.
DID HE MAKE A REFERENCE?
While evaluating the victory, Mert Müldür also explained the background of his goal celebration. He expressed that his celebration should not be perceived as a reference to Okan Buruk, saying, "I had done this celebration when I scored against Konyaspor last season. It doesn't have a special meaning for me. It was my teammate's goal celebration in the team I played for before. I liked it a lot. After that, it stayed that way. We are sharing the top. There isn't a huge point difference. We will focus on ourselves match by match. We will try to win every match. We will continue like this. Our goal is really to win every match... We are still in contention for all three cups. We aim to win every match. We are very happy for the victory. As a team, we played a very nice match. It doesn't matter for me in which position I play; I will play wherever the coach sees fit. I am always ready to do my best wherever I am assigned. It was really important for us. Finding 3-0 in the first half was very important. We wanted to do even more, but we are happy with 3-0. We have the Rangers match waiting for us on Thursday. We are ready to do our best in Europe as well," he said.
FENERBAHÇE SHARED
Fenerbahçe also shared Mert Müldür's celebration on their official account. Sharing the moment when Mert made a clock gesture, the yellow-navy team noted, "Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock." This post was flooded with likes and comments from Fenerbahçe fans.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
Galatasaray had drawn 0-0 with Konyaspor in the 3rd week of the Ziraat Turkey Cup, and with RAMS Başakşehir also drawing 0-0 with Eyüpspor, the orange-navy team advanced to the next round due to the red card they received in the previous match. The technical director of the yellow-red team, Okan Buruk, made a clock gesture to the referee in the final moments of the Konyaspor match, asking him to end the game, which became a topic of discussion.
