Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek reacted strongly to journalist Ahmet Selim Kul's comments during a live broadcast on Habertürk Sports. Özbek's response to Kul's statement, "there is some trickery going on," led to heightened tension in the studio. Özbek said, "I am as old as your brother or father. Let me give you some advice. You are the one who is truly being a club supporter with this statement." Ahmet Selim Kul replied to Özbek, "Mr. President, some things are being misrepresented to you."
In a joint broadcast of Habertürk and HT Sport, Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek answered questions related to the agenda and engaged in a heated debate with the host Ahmet Selim Kul towards the end of the program.
Recalling Kul's previous comment about "being cunning," Özbek reacted by stating that the words were directed at him.
ÖZBEK: I AM YOUR OLDER BROTHER, I AM AS OLD AS YOUR FATHER
Dursun Özbek continued his speech by saying, "On November 12, you made a comment. You said to me, 'cunning is being done, clubism is being done.' Eren played for 4 years and 10 months, if the operation were to take place 2 months later, he wouldn't be blamed... What kind of comment is this? Look Ahmet, I am your older brother, I am as old as your father. Let me give you a piece of advice: You are the one who is doing the utmost clubism with this statement," he expressed.
Özbek stated that as a club president, he would always stand by his player, saying, "If there is a penalty, he will serve it, but you have misunderstood what I wanted to express. Saying 'what if it's 5 years, what if it's 6 years' is extremely wrong," he added.
"YOU CANNOT SAY THIS"
Özbek emphasized the importance of Habertürk and intensified his reaction, stating, "Habertürk is always open in my office and at home. But you cannot say 'cunning is being done, clubism is being done' on a channel like Habertürk. You have made similar statements in other places as well," he said.
KUL: MR. PRESIDENT, SOME THINGS ARE BEING MISREPRESENTED TO YOU
After Dursun Özbek's outburst, there was a brief moment of silence in the studio, while Ahmet Selim Kul responded, "Mr. President, some things are being misrepresented to you." The tense moments also resonated widely on social media among the viewers of the broadcast.
