Orkun Kökcü went completely crazy after a fight with Dušan Tadić. The captain of Ajax made some gestures towards the midfielder of Feyenoord. After that, Kökcü came ‘high in emotion’, as he talked about the incident ESPN formulated. However, Kökcü does not want to make the incident with Tadić bigger than it is.
“You play games like that at the cutting edge. Then such riots happen, that happens often. I don’t think we should make something big out of that”, says Kökcü. The Feyenoord player was very emotional after Tadić made a gesture. “I don’t know exactly what he meant by it, but I didn’t like it. You could see that I didn’t like it.”
“I often have moments like that. I’m a pretty emotional guy in the games. I am often involved in such moments, I do not justify that. That is also not always the case. Such a competition sometimes requires a little more and it is easier to get into these kinds of disturbances. Now that I’ve cooled down and you see it again, you think: it looks pretty stupid. You can’t control it at the moment.”
Then things went wrong on the field. “I have to say I didn’t realize anyone was hit. Then we had to go inside and I thought it was about the fight. Then I reacted a little too violently to the referee. Then I saw that Klaassen had been hit and of course you are disappointed. You don’t wish that on anyone and it doesn’t belong in such a great match.”
