Şampiyon olmak istiyoruz. Ama bu benim tek başıma yapabileceğim bir şey değil, futbolcuların da yapabileceği bir şey değil, yeter ki taraftarlar bu son Galatasaray maçında olduğu gibi tribünleri doldursunlar.

Yıldırım also reaffirmed his dedication to a coaching philosophy rooted in the German school of discipline, singling out Fink as the most effective coach during his tenure.
