Mert Hakan Yandaş: A Fenerbahçe emblem was enough for all of them.

After the match in which Fenerbahçe won 1-0 against Galatasaray in the 37th week of the Trendyol Super League, yellow-navy football player Mert Hakan Yandaş, who received a 5-match ban due to the incidents that occurred, made statements on the club's official website.



Mert Hakan Yandaş' statements are as follows:



"We put an end to the theater"



"First of all, I am proud of our team. It was a match we played for our honor, pride, and the reputation of our community. Because we had to win this match in order to explain everything that has been done throughout the season. We were aware of this. Fortunately, the match started with scenarios. There was an incredible game when it was 11 against 11. We were much better, and the opponent couldn't even come close to our goal. Then they started to get a little nervous. We were left with 10 players. The scenario continued. Even when we played with 10 players, they still couldn't come close to our goal. There was an incredible spirit, incredible game intelligence, and tactical discipline from the 10 players after that moment. There was an incredible struggle. I congratulate my teammates. We deserved the victory from start to finish. I can say that we put an end to the theater. Now they can continue with the theater in the last week."



"A Fenerbahçe emblem was enough for all of them"



"Derby atmospheres are tense and enjoyable at the same time. I knew there would be a tense atmosphere there. I didn't plan it, but when they started to swear at me while I was walking, I showed them our clean, honorable, proud emblem. That was enough. Everyone has been talking about it since that day. What did I do? Did I make a gesture, did I say something bad? No. I had already answered the question asked after the match. Incredible organizations, but a Fenerbahçe emblem was enough for all of them."



"We fought for honor and pride"



"It may be a bit too much, but I think this is one of the most characterful player groups in Fenerbahçe history. That's how I feel. Of course, our elders will evaluate this more accurately, but there is really an incredible group of players here. From the beginning of the season until now, despite what we experienced that day, there is an incredible team that reacted and stayed together. There is a community that never had any problems among them for a single day. I don't know how to explain it. We have an incredible group of foreign players. It really honors me and makes me very happy that they have such a sense of ownership. It is very important that they are aware of everything and have the same sense of ownership as Turkish players. We have achieved this incredibly this season. There are great characters and great players. It doesn't matter who plays and who doesn't for us. Everyone does their best. That day, we fought for honor and pride."



"The joy of breaking alliances"



"First of all, I would like to thank our fans who came to the away match. I heard their voices every second on the field. There was not a single moment when I didn't hear their voices. They created an incredible atmosphere. It felt like we were playing at home. In fact, it was better than the matches we played at home, I can say. I thank them very much. Our community is aware of everything. They are aware of how characterful and upright the player group is. Actually, it was a celebration and joy of breaking alliances. That's why I thank them infinitely. They welcomed us incredibly. They are great, thank goodness they exist. (Celebrations in the stands after the match) Thank goodness, they sang beautiful songs. They came there, they put so much effort. Of course, they have the right to have fun too."
