Post-match outcry from Yusuf Erdoğan!

Adana Demirspor player Yusuf Erdoğan made significant statements following their 1-0 defeat against Rizespor.

Yusuf Erdoğan said, "Actually, we have not been going through a period where football is the main topic for a while. We woke up to dark news again. My condolences to our entire country. I think condemning terrorism is not enough. We are tired and fed up with receiving this news. There absolutely needs to be a solution. There must be a solution now. We have to take the field because of our job, but the fire burns where it falls. My condolences to my entire country and the families of the martyrs."

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WHO WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?"

Yusuf Erdoğan concluded his words by saying, "I want to say something outside of football. As a footballer who has played in this league for years, I can say that we have reached the final point. When people were afraid to kiss their children or spouses during the pandemic because of this corona, they made us play matches and then canceled the season as if nothing had happened... Today, we are a team that plays football; making us play football on this pitch is illogical and against conscience. It was clear that it would snow; perhaps it could have been scheduled earlier. If something happened to us, who would take responsibility? During the pandemic, in teams fighting not to be relegated or trying to become champions, Muslera's leg was broken. Konyaspor's Volkan tore his cruciate ligaments. Where is he right now? He is struggling on his own right now. There is really nothing left to say. I want them to hear me. I think some things need to change in football, where the health and bodies of footballers are so cheap. I don't care about winning or losing today; if someone had been injured today, who would have been held accountable? We are playing football in sub-zero temperatures. It is not suitable for dribbling. You step wrong, and when you fall, it's like hitting a rock. I congratulate Rizespor. Playing the match is not very important anymore; I just want a little bit of conscience."
