There’s a level, you know, a standard. With this post, you only make them laugh. Whoever did this, I’d have them removed from the club tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if it’s Galatasaray, Besiktas, or Fenerbahce. What is this, seriously? This lowers the value of your victory; it’s nonsense! I get angry when I see things like this.”
