“This year has been an interesting and difficult league. At the end of the day, 3 teams were left to fight for the top. It was interesting to go until the last week. There has been no such triple struggle for a long time. It was enjoyable in that aspect. My impression from the sports public and the press; In my opinion, Besiktas's championship makes us feel a discipline. He is also a good management ability, of course a good technical committee under your presidency and the fact that the athletes gathered their faith side brought such an advantage to me and brought the championship to Beşiktaş. This aspect is also interesting. Economic difficulties exist in all clubs. In this period, I think it is a good footnote, a valuable footnote, a footnote to be learned, that he achieved this success at such an unexpected moment. There are probably agendas and secrets underlying this success that we do not know, or maybe even should not know. But there is one thing we know: Champion Beşiktaş. Therefore, we congratulate you.

İmamoğlu's response to Çebi said, “I am not a person who likes these things very much. Let me be clear. 'Let the IMM support the professional football team or the basketball team. I conveyed to the IMM Sports Club that I would not be on that side of the business. It's a pity, sin. 'Let's support amateur sports. I mean amateur; some branches especially in the Olympics. There was already wrestling and taekwondo. Continue by adding athleticism, especially women's athletics and gymnastics, 'I said. But should it be Spor-Toto in handball? It doesn't make much sense to me. Instead, he can offer that contribution to some provinces in Turkey that have handball skills, he can contribute to Spor-Toto or that league ”.

We also explain to our President. Now we have caught our dear IMM President. We will tell him too. Because we have to keep everything alive. We need all kinds of support. Otherwise, these places do not work. There is no audience, there is no that, this is not… It is already a difficult process. That's why we sincerely thank Beşiktaş Municipality.
