(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Eui-jin = Fenerbahce (Turquije), the former team of Kim Min-jae (26), who left for Naples, a famous Italian football club, is being investigated by the European Football Federation (UEFA) because of the deviant behavior of fans.
In the match once morest Dynamo Kiiu (Ukraine), home fans chanted the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine, and stimulated the opponent.
UEFA said in a statement on the 28th (local time) that “an investigator in charge of game ethics and discipline will investigate the problematic behavior of the Fenerbahce supporters.”
Fenerbahçe lost 1-2 to Dynamo Kiiu in overtime in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying match held at the Sikru Sarajollu Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey the day before.
In the second half of the match, when Vitali Buyalski’s opening goal was scored, Dinamo Kiiu players held a ceremony in the 12th minute, and many of Fenerbahce’s home fans united and shouted Putin’s name and fought back with mocking cheers.
Ukraine’s ambassador to Ukraine Vasil Bodnar Zuturkiye congratulated his team on their victory on Twitter, but added, “Football is a fair game. Dynamo Kiiu was stronger.”
“It’s really sad to hear from Fenerbahce fans the words supporting the Russian aggressor who bombed our country,” he said.
“The actions of some fans do not represent the position of the club,” Fenerbahce said in a statement on the 28th.
“When it comes to social and humanitarian issues, we always consider the impact on the world and the responsibilities that come with it,” he said. “Our club and fans do not follow values (such as support for President Putin). I don’t,” he reiterated.
Still, the action in question lasted only 20 seconds, and even claimed that the spectators were excited by the exaggerated celebrations of Dynamo Kiiu players.
Fenerbahce, who lost 1-2 on aggregate in the first and second rounds due to that day’s defeat, was eliminated without being able to step on the stage of the UCL finals.
Fenerbahce is the former team of Kim Min-jae, a key defender of the Korean national team, and has been in the Chinese Super League for one season since last year when he left Beijing Guoan.
Napoli, to which Min-jae Kim recently joined, placed 3rd in Italian professional soccer Serie A for the 2021-2022 season and has secured direct tickets to the UCL finals.
