In the 7th week of the Trendyol Süper League, Kasımpaşa was defeated 3-1 by their host, Galatasaray. After the match, Kasımpaşa footballer Kerem Demirbay made statements to members of the press.
Stating that they received a bad result as a team, Kerem said, "Unfortunately, we lost the match. It didn't go as the coach planned. He brought on players later so they could provide energy and a contribution.
It didn't work out today. Of course, it is not easy here. Both my side and our Galatasaray brothers fought really well. I congratulate them, there is nothing else to say."
"I apologize to the Galatasaray fans, I was misunderstood"
When asked about being whistled by the yellow-red fans while leaving the game, Kerem Demirbay said, "I would not disrespect a person. Our fans whistled at me, yes. But may they all be well. They must be hurt, a sensitive period is being experienced right now. I apologize to all of them.
I know that there will not be such a long-term issue between us and the Galatasaray fans, I hope. As I said, they are hurt, may they all be well. I have nothing else to say.
There is a situation like this; I was misunderstood. Sometimes when I think in German, I translate it into Turkish, and sometimes it is misunderstood. I definitely did not mean to say those dynamics.
We worked hard together for the championship. I would not show such disrespect to myself, my brothers, our coaches, or our fans. I was misunderstood. That is all," he said.
