Hakan Safi calls for support for Fenerbahçe: Players do not want to take the pitch

Hakan Safi, who ran against Aziz Yıldırım for club president in Fenerbahçe's most recent election, watched the match between Kasımpaşa and Beşiktaş from the stands. After the match, he made statements about the yellow-and-navy blues.

Safi said Fenerbahçe is a big club with a big community and that criticism will inevitably come. Stating that he stands by the president in such situations, Safi said that calls for resignation and bad chanting benefit no one. Reminding everyone that there is an elected administration, Safi argued that people should rally around Aziz Yıldırım. Noting that Aziz Yıldırım has said there will be an election next year and that he will not be there next year, Safi said the current situation is not acceptable. He asked the large fan base not to speak against Fenerbahçe.

Hakan Safi said he had spoken with the footballers and that their morale is low. Stating that they do not want to take the pitch, Safi said that even though they are professionals, they play with their hearts and need support. Saying that criticism should be kept within limits, Safi asked for support for Fenerbahçe and Aziz Yıldırım until the end of the season.

Safi reminded everyone that the upcoming match against Liverpool is important and called on all supporters to stay calm. Saying that today's agenda should be the match and not the election, Safi asked that anyone with a score to settle leave it until the end of the season.
