Scathing remarks from Adana Demirspor President Murat Sancak to Okan Buruk after team walks off the pitch!

In the 22nd week of the Super Lig, league leaders Galatasaray are hosting the bottom-placed Adana Demirspor. The yellow-red team took a 1-0 lead in the match with a penalty goal scored by Spanish striker Alvaro Morata.

In the 30th minute of the match, Adana Demirspor players withdrew from the pitch.

Following the decision to withdraw, Adana Demirspor President Murat Sancak made statements. Here are the highlights from Sancak's remarks:

"This is not an action taken against Galatasaray. We were 99% likely to lose today anyway. However, I see some comments. Neither Ali Koç nor the richest man in Turkey can buy me in the Republic of Turkey. Everyone should know this."

"Ali Koç cannot be someone who gives me instructions. I do not take instructions from anyone. A person lives for their honor. This operation was directed at the federation and the MHK."

"Galatasaray is a great community. Galatasaray does not need a penalty like this. Teams are being pressured because of Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Leave Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe aside and talk about these things."

"Coach Okan, don't make me talk. Where do you find the courage to tell Barasi to 'f*** off,' Okan Buruk? This is Adana Demirspor. This is a great community. You may be the coach of the team that has won the most championships in Turkey, yes, but you cannot do whatever you want. I am a person who praises Fatih Terim every time. He is a coach who has become synonymous with Galatasaray."

"I am telling the entire sports media. Everything you talk about has become Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Beşiktaş. All the commentators support one team and protect it. This betting issue is a plague on the world. They brought in foreign VAR, what can the federation do? This structure is very powerful. It interferes everywhere in the world."

"Okan Buruk, don't make me open my mouth. Everyone knows who is who. That is all there is to it. Do not drag this to other places. We are doing this to create awareness. Do not interpret it as anything else. This has nothing to do with Galatasaray or Fenerbahçe."
