''FENERBAHÇE FANS COULDN'T DIGEST IT''

He came to support me after the insults and curses directed at me. Some Fenerbahçe fans couldn't digest Samsunspor playing so beautifully!"

''THOSE WHO TELL ME THIS ARE DISHONORABLE''

Emphasizing that he has never sold a match, Yıldırım stated, "Fenerbahçe hasn't been able to surpass Galatasaray for several seasons. Is this my fault?
