President Dursun Özbek made statements at the December Ordinary Meeting of the Galatasaray Sports Club Council Board.
“UNIMAGINABLE BEHAVIORS”
We are seeing various unimaginable behaviors from various forces to prevent Galatasaray’s performance on the green field. We are fighting this as a club. Our fans and community watch our matches. The practices here upset us all. Recent statements will not be able to prevent Galatasaray’s goals. My friends and I are doing our best to overcome all these obstacles and bring Galatasaray to the success it deserves.
I WILL BREAK THE HAND OF ANYONE WHO REACHES OUT A HAND
I used an expression last week. I said, ‘I will break the hand of anyone who interferes with Galatasaray’s success, and I will gouge out the eyes of anyone who covets Galatasaray’s success.’ I stand behind this statement. Everyone should understand this statement of mine like this. Galatasaray is an exemplary club. Galatasaray is Turkey’s biggest sports brand. We fight on green fields. We do not allow anyone to interfere with our rights.
OUR COMPETITION IS PURSUING PERCEPTION
Our opponent is pursuing an unimaginable perception. The people responsible for managing football, and especially MHK, provide the necessary support to this perception. You saw the last Sivasspor match. What happened there, the referee’s behavior is unacceptable to us. We said what was necessary regarding this issue and made the necessary applications. Our way of behaving is a search for rights, not a chaos in football. I hope that the institutions and people governing football will prevent football from being dragged into chaos by taking the necessary precautions in the future.
THEY WILL NOT STOP US
My fight is against the attitudes taken to protect Galatasaray’s values and prevent its success in the competitions it enters. From here, I want to say something to those who want to stop us that they don’t want to hear. No matter what they do, they won’t be able to stop us. The good people of this country, the righteous ones, have always won and will win.
