Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan has publicly accused Galatasaray of wronging his club. Doğan made the stark claim during an interview with A Spor on Wednesday, 16 September.
"Galatasaray wronged us," said Doğan. The president's comments refer to tensions during the last transfer window, bringing long-simmering issues between the two clubs into the open. The statement is likely to fuel significant reaction among supporters.
The club makes these claims while sitting 9th in the Süper Lig table. With 7 points from their opening 5 matches, Trabzonspor's recent form reads two wins and three losses. The team has failed to score in two matches this season, accumulating 180 goal-less minutes. They most recently suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Konyaspor on 12 September. Fans can follow the team's league standing and upcoming fixtures.
Doğan's words have reignited the rivalry between the two giants. Trabzonspor now turns its focus to a home match against 6th-placed Kocaelispor on Saturday, 21 December at 19:00. That key home fixture presents a major opportunity for the team to improve its position in the league.
