Referring to the events between the Vice President Metin Öztürk and Sportif AŞ Deputy Chairman Abdullah Kavukcu, Vice President Cibara said, "Unfortunately, an incident that none of us approved took place after the board meeting between two people, in an environment where the chairman was not present. To be fair, this is something that happened between two people. It is not something like he suddenly stood up and cursed on his own. This incident has a precedent, it came to a certain point, in the end one of them could not keep it, a promise we did not want came out. There is definitely nothing that happened during the board meeting. "Nothing was involved, as he said. The President had gone to his office. Such conversations took place when one of these people opened the door. Let's not be unfair to anyone," he said.
Stating that the company they work on the ground is one of the best in this regard, Cibara said, "They work very devotedly. We all have faults here. I do not want to blame a single person. This field was shown as an example in Europe a year ago. There are three very large systems under the ground; heating, vacuum and drainage. It may be the management's mistake here, we may have misunderstood the wishes of our players. I did not see a direct culprit here. No one was allowed into the field at that event. Even though we used all our resources, you see the damage in some places due to the grass stress. There were two things after the Kocaelispor match, we were going to do the hybrid application we did before and wait for it to get better. That's the whole mistake. We decided on the second one. Due to the rain on October 14, there was so much water accumulated on the ground that it couldn't absorb it like sand. After the Amed match, we started working on the Samsun match, the Aston Villa training and the Aston Villa match. "When you come that day, you will probably not see a very good field, but in terms of performance, you will see a very good performance. These injuries have nothing to do with the field. I will not say more about Osimhen. I guess we will continue like this until December 17. We have a hybrid roll system that we will bring and roll out in the summer, we are not hiding anything."
A commemoration was held for Cevad Prekazi at the council meeting. While the then Galatasaray President Alp Yalman and his coach Mustafa Denizli expressed their condolences regarding Prekazi, videos prepared by the club about him were also shown.
Stating that Cevad Prekazi was a very good Galatasaray player, Alp Yalman said, "Cevad left us, just like we all will. When he first came, we played the ball together. Mustafa also watched. He was a very good athlete. He was a man of his word. He was a little stubborn. He served Galatasaray. We will always remember. May God rest his soul."
Reminding that Prekazi had a very colorful personality, Mustafa Denizli said, "We would see each other every 4-5 months, although not very often. A few years ago, when he called from Belgrade, he said that he was disturbed. We had very special memories with Cevad. He was a football player that all young people and children took as an example. He was an athlete who had a great share in the great successes of Galatasaray. Sometimes I would get angry with him, sometimes there were times when I took him under my arm. Athletes who serve the communities are Galatasaray's national and international players. "It is impossible to forget his share in their success. I would like to share that I am very sorry. I am grateful to him for his services to Galatasaray. I consider it my chance to work with Cevad. May God have mercy on us all."
