Baki, who made a statement about the championship race in the Super League and the fans, stated that the race is now approaching its end.
Stating that the fans support the team intensely as always, Baki continued as follows:
“We always say the same things, but the support we will receive from now on, both away and in Kadıköy, is tremendous. I want to tie something together, we are truly a completely different community. It is very important for us to become champions this year. When we enter the last 10-11 weeks, we have European matches in between. There is a Super Cup match. There may be serious declines and rises in the rest of the season. I am not just saying this about the Pendikspor match. They should continue to support us. I think they have started to see how much we are dealing with external factors. They should watch the movie “The Color of Victory” during the times of our establishment, we have been hearing about it ever since. Let them see what kind of spirit has been breathed into Fenerbahçe, how it has been mixed with Ataturk and Turkism. When you watch this, you realize what a special community we are. We will make this team a champion with the energy we will give from the stands with that spirit. So, let them not forget that we are such a community. I am a Turk by birth, and I am a Fenerbahçe fan by the grace of God. Please, no Fenerbahçe fan should forget this. Thank you very much.”
“THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WE TRANSFERRED THIS YEAR MADE GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS”
Selahattin Baki continued by answering the question about the performances of Ferdi Kadıoğlu and Cengiz Ünder, two of the award winners at the night, and underlined that he could not distinguish any player in the team from each other.
Emphasizing that such a choice is very difficult, Baki said, “For me, it is like choosing my favorite child or your sibling. They all contributed. Cengiz, as you know, solved very critical matches for us with his velvet foot. Ferdi plays like a locomotive wherever you put him. He is ours.” “The players we transferred this year made great contributions. I think the right names are here, but I cannot choose, let me put it that way. Whoever would come today would be okay for me, there would be no problem.” He made a statement.
Speaking about the ceremony, Baki said:
“It is an extremely nice, positive evening for me because I witnessed the first establishment of ÜNİFEB in 1907 during my time in the stands. There are my dear friends in the first founding members, and my dear friends with whom I served Fenerbahçe in the management. On that day, Fenerbahçe was bright. It was its face, it was its future; today it is its bright face. In this quarter of a century, I have seen many of my friends reach many positions, important positions, and I have seen and still continue to see that they never forget Fenerbahçe and try to contribute to our Fenerbahçe. Therefore, I am both happy and happy tonight. I also felt that we were getting older when I saw old friends in Istanbul. A quarter of a century has passed. I was very happy that they invited me and did not forget me. Today, the Fenerbahçe family, our football players, athletes, managers, the president of the high council board are all together. As I said, long live, Long live Fenerbahçe’s bright face and bright future, ÜNİFEB.”
