In the 26th week of the Trendyol Super League, Fatih Karagümrük defeated their guest Fenerbahçe 2-0.
Speaking to members of the press after the match, Fatih Karagümrük President Süleyman Hurma said, "To be honest, our position in the standings is dire and bad. We could not catch the momentum we wanted this season. In fact, we were competitive in all matches except for the Gençlerbirliği match we played in Ankara. Unfortunately, we did not get the results we wanted.
Today, we did not give the opponent any chances. We needed a surprise like this for ourselves to hold on in the league. For this reason, I am very happy," he stated.
"We have to do similar things in the upcoming matches as well"
Reminding that they are still at the bottom of the league despite the victory, Hurma said, "I try not to look at the other side. If I look there, I lose my motivation. We are at the very bottom of the league. We talked to the players constantly, saying that if we could be ready, our chance would definitely come. The important thing was for us to be ready. We were ready today and we took our chance. We have to do similar things in the upcoming matches as well. If we look at our other rivals right now, we are the team at the most disadvantageous position," he said.
"Society wants referees to be unfair, and they are"
Sharing his thoughts on the position in the first half of the match where the red-and-black team expected a penalty, President Hurma said, "These referees are our referees. But it is impossible to officiate matches against all teams in Turkey. Everyone in Turkey wants injustice. Everyone wants injustice in their own favor. Since these children are our children, they are giving everyone what they want. If we want justice, we need to fight to ensure fair competition. Whatever we say is twisted. I have been speaking for 35 years. I have always been on the side of the weak, the oppressed. I spoke harshly, I spoke well, I produced ideas, but it is very difficult to change some things. Because society wants referees to be unfair, and they are. Let no one talk about justice or anything like that," he added.
