The Game

You soccer players, listen to me carefully. Today we are going to play the most important game in this season. Even though we lost so much unnecessary points in easy games, still we are in the first place in the league. However, as I said we lost our advantage and because of that we might lose the championship. Today, we have only one choice. It is to win and get the advantage again.

This game is not in our stadium and there is a crazy crowd in the stadium, I know. But I only want you to close your ears, and concentrate on the game. Don’t forget you are Fenerbahçe players and don’t have any choice rather than beat Beşiktaş. This year is our 100^th year and we have to grace it with the championship.

Now, go and play for me, for yourselves, for your team and of course for the fans. Especially, don’t forget the fans. Didn’t they always support us, even though we lost games? Didn’t they full the stadium even in the coldest day even in the rainy and snowy days? Yes, they always did. So, what should we do now? Play for them, win the game and we will take the cup to them.

Believe yourselves, you are all world class players. You are easily able beat them. Fight until the last drop of your blood. Don’t hesitate to put your head even to the rival’s kick. Put your heart to the game. But at the same time don’t let them to provoke you. Don’t care them even if they swore at you. The games are not won by swearing.

Okay, promise me you will win the game.

We promise…

Let’s go then…
