In a statement titled “Fenerbahçe Does Not Give Up,” Yildirim acknowledged the team’s recent struggles: ”After the negative results of our football team in recent days, I am saddened to witness that my name is being used on some platforms. First of all, I must say that the current performance of our football team is making me sad, like every fan of ours.” However, he quickly shifted the focus to the team’s potential for a comeback, drawing parallels to past successes.
He recounted a previous season,stating,”For example,in the 2003-2004 season,our football team was the closest rival. We fell 8 points behind and moved away from the championship claim. Though, in those days, with the unity and solidarity of our community, we all achieved the championship together in the 2010-2011 season, which was one of the most valuable championships in our glorious history, and then we experienced the 3rd of July Cup.” This historical context underscores his belief in the team’s capacity for a turnaround.
“I Respect the Criticism,” Says Yildirim
Addressing criticism directed at the team, Yildirim stated, “This year, our football team is not in a worse situation than that day. The point difference is not greater than that day. Fenerbahçe’s history is full of many success stories where unity and solidarity are at the forefront. Because Fenerbahçe gave up. Today is that day. Today is the day to be united, to support our team with all our strength, and to criticize failure as much as to praise success. I respect the criticism. However, as a Fenerbahçe supporter, I do not find it appropriate to use Fenerbahçe as a material for the club’s internal politics in the 15th week. In this context, I regret that my name is included in the club’s internal political considerations.”
Yildirim emphasized the importance of supporting both the team and its current management: ”Fenerbahçe has an elected president and management today, and thay undoubtedly spend their time for our team with all their good intentions. Our duty as Fenerbahçe fans, the most unique community in the world, is to support our club, to support our team, to stay away from any kind of behavior that could harm the championship fight. This is how I and my family think and live like this. My request from my dear Fenerbahçe brothers is to share this feeling and attitude with me.”
Concluding his message with a hopeful outlook, Yildirim added, “I hope that the Istanbul Başakşehir match we will play today will be a turning point on the road to our championship. My fenerbahçe daughter Yaz, who is small in age and has a big heart, will also be at the ceremony in this match. I hope our victory will crown her excitement with happiness, and good luck to our team in all the remaining matches. I wish.”
