STATEMENTS OF İBRAHİM HATIPOĞLU
FLORYA AND KEMERBURGAZ
“Galatasaray’s future is bright, whether it is Florya or not… The Florya project is very important in terms of gaining financial independence as soon as possible. Galatasaray has approximately 62 decares of land there. Our president Adnan Polat is the chairman of the commission here. Galatasaray’s Banks It is important to pay its debt to the Union and gain financial independence.
There’s already plenty of time. It is possible to put the project into operation and turn it around in at least a few years. A 14,500 square meter facility is being built in Kemerburgaz. We continue our work in our existing facilities in Florya. Very few details remain about the construction. Here, in line with Mr. Okan Buruk‘s ideas, Galatasaray will now start working in Kemerburgaz without further delay.”
SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT
“14 million Euros for 2 years was not just about back sponsorship. This was a package that also included basketball and other branches. Here, 7 million Euros per year is just The football team was not for back sponsorship. You need to approve the sponsorship from TFF. We made a deal and it was quickly suspended when its drawbacks became apparent. Afterwards, the contract was terminated.”
BLACK MARKET CLAIMS
“The black market incident is a process in the judiciary. All the details will be revealed there. If there is any harm to Galatasaray, our president will follow him down to a single penny.”
CRITICISM OF JELERT
“There may be criticism about Jelert not playing, but we believe in him. He is an extremely good player. We have no doubt that he will be an important player in this team after his adaptation. Some people are even trying to criticize Icardi today. Criticisms should reflect positively on people. Everyone is right and uses the right criticisms.” “As long as these do not degenerate into insults.”
ICARDI VE OKAN BAD
“I do not think Icardi is ahead of Okan Buruk. I see their relationship closely. Icardi has great respect for Okan Buruk. These reactions are natural. Our coach has been managing the team well for 2 years.”
OSIMHEN AND TRANSFERS
“There is no detail that you do not know about the Osimhen transfer. Unfortunately, this process was reflected in the press against our wishes. I do not think that we were able to carry out the transfer process correctly in this part of the matter. Osimhen is a real transfer of opportunity. Just like Icardi. We went to the airport to Naples. As it approached 11 o’clock. The stress and pressure increased. We had to take off that plane at around 1:30 that evening.
The Jakobs transfer was not one of those transfers that emerged at the last minute. That transfer was among our goals. Just because some transfers were made a little later does not mean that they occurred later. “When a place became available with the transfer of Köhn, we completed the transfer of Jakobs.”
RESIGNATION OF CENK ERGÜN
“When we took office, there were 19 foreign players in Galatasaray. These plans lie behind the fact that the transfer process took a little longer. Since the beginning of the season, we have been criticized a lot during the transfer process. There were some things that went beyond this. Cenk’s resignation was a surprise. He is the most important one here. “This is not a resignation about accepting failure and leaving. Cenk Ergün resigned as a reaction to the pressure that extended to his family.”
KADIKÖY WIN
“We had a good series after Young Boys. We went to Kadıköy to support our players. The most important problem we remember about the derby was the way our fans entered the stadium. There were 2500 people there at the same time, and when the doors did not open, they experienced congestion. Our very close friends got stuck in the bars. With that match This is the issue that needs to be talked about the most.
There was no tension before the match. Managers also have a share in this football tension. I am in favor of all stakeholders of football – especially commentators – making statements that will calm the atmosphere. It is not an issue that only managers can solve.
Özhan Canaydın President had a sportsmanship that went down in Turkish football history. These spread as they get response. What Özhan Canaydın did after the 6-0 defeat was one-sided. There was no follow-up from the other side. “There hasn’t been another Özhan Canaydın from the other side.”
RAFA SILVA YANITI
“We did not have any plans for Rafa Silva. We have Dries Mertens, who we are very happy to have in the squad in that position. Was Rafa Silva offered to us? Yes. But we rejected that suggestion too.”
REFEREE MANAGEMENT
“What happened between the referees and Galatasaray for the last two seasons has been discussed. We have the following thesis, including the previous years. All positions in the last 2 years should be evaluated by an authority they will accept. It should be calculated who gained or lost how many points. Then the facts will come out. .
These are not a problem that can be solved by perception, by going from TV to TV talking about structures that referees cannot say exist, and then tearing them down. The president of the team, who is one of the clubs complaining about the referees today, also said that the referees will make mistakes.
The president of the rival team said in a meeting that the MHK president was doing good work. I hope good things are being done. I think that good referees, regardless of whether they are foreign or local, should work in Turkish football.
I think the referees are generally well-intentioned. Unfortunately, there are also those with bad intentions among them. “We must first of all be on the side of truth.”
