The match between TÜMOSAN Konyaspor and RAMS Başakşehir played in the 7th week of the Trendyol Super League ended in a goalless draw. At the end of the match, a question asked to Nuri Şahin by a member of the press surprised the young coach, and the question suddenly made the atmosphere tense.
''CAN WE CALL IT DIVINE JUSTICE?''
A member of the press who took the floor at the press conference directed a question to Nuri Şahin: 'With Trabzonspor winning the Turkish Cup final against Konyaspor, you went to Europe but were eliminated in the first round; can we call it divine justice?'
''I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE!''
Nuri Şahin, who appeared quite surprised by the question, made statements despite the warning from the club communications officer to the member of the press, saying: 'If we talk about this season, we could not earn points for our country. It was a process that did not suit us. We were eliminated in the first round. We experienced both the sadness and the necessity of this, but we are looking ahead. If we, as Başakşehir, finished the season in 5th place and Trabzonspor took us to Europe because it won the cup, I am not going to apologize for that. There is nothing about justice in that. I have endless respect for Konyaspor and Coach İlhan, but we finished 5th in the league last year. This season too, we want to do everything we can and go to Europe again. If we go again, God willing, I will be in front of you as a Nuri Şahin and Başakşehir that has contributed a lot to the country's coefficient. There is no need to get into polemics on these matters; divine justice was a bit heavy. Let's close it this way, nicely, if you want.'
