In a striking statement, Murat Sancak, the president of Adana Demirspor, who withdrew from the match against Galatasaray, made a bold declaration. Speaking live, Sancak targeted Okan Buruk with harsh words, saying, "I don't take orders from anyone. A person lives for their honor. This operation was carried out against the federation and the MHK. Okan, don't make me speak. Where do you find the courage to tell Barasi to 'F... off,' Okan Buruk?"
