For the record: A fit Alex has always been included in the starting XI since he joined the Istanbul club in 2004. Therefore, without the slightest doubt there is something wrong somewhere. The match was played “behind closed doors,” meaning adult men were banned, while women and children were allowed in for free.

No one is greater than Fenerbahçe,” he asserted. Yıldırım further said after the match: “I can give my life for Fenerbahçe. No one is above Fenerbahçe, not even Aziz Yıldırım. Players go, Aziz Yıldırım will, everyone will go, but Fenerbahçe will remain,” he noted. He later said he has invited Alex for talks on Monday.[26]
