These are our children" drew the appreciation of football fans.
The assessment made by Serbay Şenkal, who works as a presenter on Galatasaray's official broadcasting outlet GS TV, about Arda Güler during the period when he played for Fenerbahçe, drew renewed attention years later. Şenkal's remarks, in which he praised the young footballer's talent and leadership qualities despite the fierce rivalry, were interpreted by football fans as an example of sportsmanship.
"TURKISH FOOTBALL WILL GAIN A FOOTBALLER NAMED ARDA GÜLER"
In the assessment he made when Arda Güler was still 16 years old, Serbay Şenkal used the following statements:
"There is Arda Güler, who plays for Fenerbahçe. He scored a tremendous goal. At the age of 16, he is a footballer with the ability to direct his own team, leadership qualities, and important merits. Turkish football will gain a footballer named Arda Güler. In this sense, we need to congratulate Fenerbahçe. These are our children."
"HOW OBJECTIVE, CREDIT TO HIM"
The re-sharing of the statement made years ago received positive reactions from football fans. In particular, the praise of a Fenerbahçe player with these words on Galatasaray's broadcasting outlet drew attention. Football fans who watched the footage appreciated Şenkal's approach with comments such as "How objective, credit to him."
HIS WORDS FROM YEARS AGO DREW ATTENTION
This assessment, made when Arda Güler was still at the beginning of his career, gained new meaning with the development the young footballer showed in the following years. The part of the statement that drew the most attention was Şenkal congratulating not only Arda Güler but also Fenerbahçe, and emphasizing the shared values of Turkish football with the words "These are our children."
