Fatih Terim's statement on Arda Turan!

The gala event for "Arda Turan: Yüzleşme" saw attendance from notable figures, including coach Fatih Terim, former interior minister Mehmet Ağar, former footballers Necati Ateş and Tolga Zengin, players from Eyüpspor, Olympic archer Mete Gazoz, and various celebrities from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

Speaking to the press before the gala, Arda Turan expressed that his career warranted a documentary, saying, "This is a true story from start to finish. The successes, the failures, it's all real. We tried to tell the story of all the events. I'm proud of this confrontation. The issue with Bilal Abi and the bonus situation saddened me. I would have liked to sit down with Bilal Abi over a coffee and talk about why it happened this way. In this documentary, you'll see everything, a story that's both beautiful and human."

Arda also touched on the red card he received during the Alanyaspor match and his goals with Eyüpspor, stating:

"We have dreams. In our first year, we want to stay in the league. I'm proud of the red card I received. I didn’t insult anyone; I had to protect my players' rights. These things happen in football. We need to communicate better. I also advise the referees to improve in this area."

Fatih Terim expressed his happiness for Arda Turan, saying, "I've known Arda since he was 12 years old. Over this time, I've witnessed his joys, sorrows, successes, and secrets. His football legacy is incredible. He played for some very important teams. He is one of Turkey's most accomplished footballers. Winning a championship in his first year is not easy. I'm very happy for him. Arda is at an age where he can serve Turkish football for at least another 30-35 years, God willing."
