KOCAELİSPOR'S STRONG RESPONSE TO GALATASARAY
The Kocaelispor community issued a statement in response to the words of the yellow-reds' coach Okan Buruk and officials, "We have not forgotten what happened in Kocaeli, we will also respond."
'YOU CANNOT SHOW FORCE BY TARGETING A COMMUNITY'
In a statement made from Kocaelispor's social media account, the following expressions were used: "We state this clearly and unequivocally: You cannot grow by belittling a club. You cannot show force by targeting a community. You cannot exist in a climate of justice and fair play by touching the honor of a city. Kocaelispor fears no one, is not intimidated by anyone, and will not bow down to any person, institution, or perception operation. No one should think that they can intimidate our people who carry the love of Kocaelispor in the stands through pressure, perception, words, or psychological games. Where there is fear, there is perception; where there is faith, there is Kocaelispor.
'NO PRESSURE CAN SILENCE THIS CREST'
"If there is Hodri Meydan in the stands and Kocaelispor on the field; no pressure can silence this crest. It should be especially known that in the match to be played away against Galatasaray this weekend, our management will take its place in the stands together with Hodri Meydan, which is the greatest strength of our team. Our players, technical staff, and millions of Kocaelispor fans will take the field as one heart, fighting with the spirit, honor, and character of Kocaelispor until the last whistle, until our last breath. And we believe that those who fight with sweat and rightful effort will win, and we will return to our city with our points."
