Harsh response to criticism from Merih Demiral, who plays in Saudi Arabia! 'Damn you all'

Despite the reactions from the sports community, the Super Cup final, which was to be played in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was postponed upon the insistence of the Turkish Football Federation.

When Saudi authorities did not permit the Atatürk banner and poster, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray decided not to take the field. Following this scandal, citizens directed harsh criticism at the TFF.

STATEMENT FROM MERIH DEMIRAL

On the other hand, Merih Demiral, who plays for the Saudi team Al-Ahli, was also criticized for remaining silent about the events.

Speaking to Sports Digitale Editor-in-Chief Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Demiral said, "I was on the field against Al Khaleej at the moment the events were taking place. I just got out of the match. It is very sad to try to harm me over these events. The TFF organizers are the ones who could not manage the organization. It is not me."
