Those who caused unwanted images in the Giresunspor-Galatasaray match Marcao and Kerem Aktürkoğlu made peace. The duo made peace by hugging each other in front of their teammates before training.
Marcao, who attacked Kerem Aktürkoğlu in the away match against Giresunspor on August 16 in the league, was pardoned about a week ago after the fine was given, and he started training among the national team. The two met for the first time after the return of Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who was in the National Team.
Fatih Terim, the coach of the yellow-red team, brought together Marcao, who had previously apologized on social media, and young Kerem, who was exposed to violence, in front of his teammates.

Before the reconciliation of the two players, Fatih Terim made a speech, “25-30 guys here. All of these are different temperaments, different languages, different religions, different cultures. Naturally, it is not easy for so many people to be together. A body that exerts so much physical effort naturally creates a great deal of mental fatigue, psychological pressure on and off the field, and sometimes the results do not go well, causing a breakdown in every person. I’m saying that such a young group is also young for those over the age of 30, they are too young for life, there may be some unwanted rises, some nervous movements, some arguments, and sometimes even fights. In practice, in the locker room, in the hallways, but it should have a dose, a taste, a reasonable side. Unfortunately, the incident between Marcao and Kerem took place on the field. Marcao’s apology in my room was here, on the field… I wanted him to wish it right here in all of you. Marcao has already expressed many times that this is not right, that he has done wrong, that he regrets it. He apologized to himself and his family. He also had to do that,” he said.

MARCAO: I AM AMAZING REGRET
Marcao in front of his teammates, “First of all, I apologize to all of you. At first, Kerem is from my brother. I’m incredibly sorry. I showed a behavior that I never wanted. First of all, I would like to apologize to my brother Kerem, all my teammates, Fatih Teacher, his assistants and the entire technical team. It was a move I did not approve of. It was a move that shouldn’t have happened. There isn’t much to talk about either. I am one hundred percent guilty. This is very obvious. So once again, I want to apologize to my brother Kerem in front of everyone.‘ he declared.
