Fenerbahce’s top executive Ali Koç speaks for the first time after the eventful match against Trabzonspor. Fenerbahçe defeated Trabzonspor in the Trendyol Super League with a score of 3:2. Fenerbahçe President Koç is addressing the public for the first time following the incidents when fans entered the field after the game. Ali Koç is expressing his views on the club’s channel, FB TV. His key statements include: „What happened yesterday is a source of shame for Turkey, Turkish sports, and Turkish football. There are people who have worked in the last 13 to 14 years to make these two clubs compete against each other, bringing them to an equal footing. They sow the seeds of violence and hatred between the two clubs. Never before have so many seeds of hatred and hostility been sown. This terrorist organization, which pits brother against brother and is likely the reason for July 3, has probably escalated the conflict. The tensions between these clubs have reached a new level since last night. The shooting in 2014 is probably their doing. Whoever the managers of the Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor communities and the reasonable people in the communities are, we must deal with them in the long term, patiently, and wisely, without falling into the trap or letting them fight against each other. These issues are problems that harm the entire country. Trabzon and Trabzonspor are one of the most important dynamics in the country’s football. If we cannot create an environment and a place where these communities can meet at the grassroots level, it will have implications for the whole country when things reach these levels. In our game, we lost 2:3 on our own field. We also won 3:2 yesterday. We tried to accommodate the staff and executives there in the best way possible. Ertuğrul Bey also expressed himself in that direction after the game. He complained to the referee. We also had our complaints, but we did not voice them. On many issues, we are in agreement with the state and government officials. While there is no problem between the government and the authorities, it is madness that these things happen when both teams are continuing the game with the right intentions. As Fenerbahçe, we wish a speedy recovery to both ourselves and the Trabzonspor community. I have learned with regret that we hear there are appropriate efforts on the Trabzon side. We hear that they will attribute these tensions to Fenerbahçe. I hope they do not. No leader or board member wants what happened yesterday to occur. „The greatest victim of these events is Fenerbahçe.“ I would like to thank the private security personnel in Trabzon wearing orange vests. The greatest victim of these events is Fenerbahçe and its fans. We sat down and talked with the board. It’s out of control now. They know what happened on July 3. Neither our state nor those managing football have taken measures regarding Fenerbahçe. Atak is still unresolved. What if something had happened to him? What if a football player had been lynched? We wanted to say that this should be the last time. We always say, let it be the last. We have now started to legalize violence. Come to your senses. Do not view what happened yesterday from a football perspective. I don’t know if there is an organization based on football, but what happened yesterday was organized. „The game started and events escalated step by step. When the referee applied, he was late, and the stands were encouraged. As the goals were scored, the stands were even more encouraged. Someone who had little idea about the job would have seen where the events were heading. The game we lost in Denizli, the Galatasaray game called ‚Water War,‘ should have also been canceled. Yesterday’s game should have been canceled as well. Due to the football environment of the country, no matter who the referee was, he could not have canceled this game. You know the power of our opponent. You know the political and bureaucratic power. A torch comes onto the field. The referee sees the torch and continues the game, and it’s 2:2. What about us 3? What would happen if we lost -2 or played 2:2 draw? Would you win another championship with violence? Regardless of which derby it is, the whole police force comes to our games and fills the field. There was no police in the stadium yesterday. How many people were searched? They came here last year during Ramadan. They did not take people’s plastic bottles. I guess the police were right. Get well soon, Trabzon. Yesterday, I handed over my son to Ertuğrul’s leader. They hosted us
