The Turkish supporters are misled

Some of the Turkish mass-media, www.milliyet.com.tr in particular, published materials, where FC Shakhtar CEO Sergiy Palkin had commented on Elano as a difficult player to cooperate with, giving negative appraisals for FC Galatasaray management. FC Shakhtar denies this information as being false.

- I am surprised at such information, Sergiy Palkin said to FC Shakhtar Press Office. We always appreciated Elano’s high professional skills. He left Donetsk honourably, on mutual agreement. I do not understand where the Turkish reporters could find such negative information. And the stranger thing is that it had been put down to my words. I think the Turkish media must publish their official denial. Otherwise, all Turkish supporters and football publicity will be misled.
