Mert Hakan's explosive response to Muslera from Mourinho.

Fenerbahçe's captain Mert Hakan Yandaş made striking statements after their 4-0 victory against Sivasspor. The experienced footballer responded to Galatasaray's captain Fernando Muslera's remarks about the yellow-navy team’s coach Jose Mourinho.

"WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE AZ ALKMAAR MATCH"

Mert Hakan Yandaş stated, "Three days ago, we put in a performance that was unworthy of us. When I spoke with my teammates inside, the topic I emphasized was effort. In football, there is no longer age or quality. AZ may be very young, but if you don't put in the effort, the importance of quality and experience diminishes. It was a painful lesson for us. We apologize for that match. A Fenerbahçe player must fight knowing the weight of the badge, just like today," he said.

"I ALWAYS KEEP MYSELF READY"

The 30-year-old footballer continued his statements, saying, "It’s our coach's discretion; we must always be ready. I try to keep myself prepared, and Samet is also working very well. We made mistakes, but we have never betrayed this jersey. There are good days and bad days. We also feel sad. We must do our best, whether it’s 1 minute or 5 minutes... If the Fenerbahçe jersey comes to you for even 1 minute, you must do your best. We must serve the community," he said.

RESPONSE TO MUSLERA'S REMARKS

Speaking about Galatasaray's captain Fernando Muslera's statements after the Samsunspor match, Mert Hakan Yandaş said, "Everyone should clean in front of their own door and mind their own business. They should not speak about our coach. I saw the statements they made. They appear angelic, as they always do. We will do our job, focus, and we need to increase our effort. This is the most important issue. Everyone should clean in front of their own door. If we get into those matters, they will be embarrassed," he expressed.

WHAT DID MUSLERA SAY?

After the Samsunspor match, Muslera stated, "I have won 17 trophies in 14 years. No one else in this history has won as many as I have. If you consider what I have done and my contributions to Turkish football, I have a constant thought of advancing Turkish football. We see a coach who came four months ago saying many things and criticizing Turkish football. If he doesn't want to be here, he can leave. He says such things, and no one says anything to him. Someone needs to say something to him now," he said.
