This is not about defending myself, it is only to inform people. You are going to see the news after you wake up in the morning.
Criticisms, critics, articles... They are going to support each other. I TOLD YOU! After fans whistled me at Euro 2016, I said in my first interview that I will never forget it. After months, I saw one of them on the plane yesterday.
Who are they? They are people who wrote lies, slander and ignore people's dignity and family values when we are playing for our own country. And they call this journalism. Do not worry. They are only 3-5 people. Of course, they have become accustomed to doing these things and walking around smirking. Why? Because this is the system. They feed children and young people with chaos. You can't talk about people's character and family values. Someone will remember this.
I thanked some journalists who criticise my football. This is their job. But you can't attack my family and my values, I will not allow this for as long as I can. Was it true what I did yesterday? I don't know! I'm not a man who visits someone at home and after that sells him out, does something behind his back. I like to be a man who shouts and attacks to your face, awaiting answers. Maybe it is not right but it is honest, honourable behaviour.
Did I get any answer? No! He wrote about it for months but didn't say any words to my face. They will talk tomorrow behind me.
The child who you see in this photo paid for what he did in his life. He didn't want anything from anyone other than God and he'll only be judged by God. Arda Turan didn't start this road to be a star player or good player. He started this road to be an honourable man and protect his family and loved ones. If anyone insults those he'll receive nswers with all the strength given to me by God.
Good night.
