HAKAN SAFI SPEAK | LIVE
“I DID NOT PUT ANY LIMITS ON MYSELF FOR MY FENERBAHÇE”
“After making the decision to become a candidate last September, I did not set any limits for myself for my beloved Fenerbahçe. I did not hesitate for a minute about candidacy. I rolled up my sleeves and am rolling up my sleeves to serve my club. In our opinion, Fenerbahçe does not have even a minute to lose. We worked for months. We examined different clubs, different football models and cultures of Europe. We came together with very important football people.”
“WE MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH 3 PLAYERS”
“We determined the situation and goals of our Fenerbahçe with our beloved Paolo Maldini, who ended Milan’s championship drought. We decided how to reflect the enthusiastic football that Fenerbahçe wants on the field. Our transfer contacts started weeks ago. We have reached an agreement with 3 players so far. Luis Suarez, Merih Demiral and Mason Greenwood… It is not over. Believe me. There is more to come. Dear Fenerbahçe people, I will not talk without a wet signature. We thought very carefully while making these agreements. Fenerbahçe fans We carefully selected the names that will meet your expectations. For me, the word comes out once in a while. We have shown you that this is the case throughout the campaign. We will not be among those who let Fenerbahçe become mediocre, leave their squad lacking, and be late in the transfer process. You can be sure of that.”
“TWO MANAGERS ARE WAITING IN LONDON”
“We don’t have two managers, guys. Do you know where, they are waiting in London, I will bring them to you when the wet signature is done. You will see when we receive the certificate next week, every name we announced will be with you. We are very tired, we are very worn out, we are very divided. We have come together with thousands of Fenerbahçe fans for days, talked to everyone, listened to their expectations. We have not been a champion for 12 years. You no longer have patience, I know. If we are elected, this longing will be gone.” “I promise that it will not take longer than 13 years. We will make Fenerbahçe champions and we will not let anyone hinder this goal.”
“TALKING THE FUTURE IS MORE VALUABLE”
“I was asked about the ‘structure issue’ during the campaign, how you will deal with it. ‘Will you be able to protect Fenerbahçe’s rights?’ The question has been asked a lot. There are many championships stolen in the history of our Fenerbahçe. We need to be aware of this. Unfortunately, we had difficulty in protecting the efforts of our coach, our players and our players. Our opponents literally threw a javelin. Because why? The square was empty! Dear Fenerbahçe fans, I am not someone who likes to talk about the past. It’s done. We have no way of going back. “I think it would be more valuable to talk about the future I represent.”
