Hakan Çalhanoglu has responded after many days of silence and rumors that have created many doubts about his future. The Inter midfielder published a post on Instagram clarifying his situation.
" Being there, even without being able to play, was very important to me. I wanted to stay close to the group and give my support. Unfortunately, during a training session in the USA, I suffered another injury in a different area. The diagnosis was clear; muscle tear. That's why I couldn't play in this competition. There's nothing else. No backstage ."
Turku continued: " Yesterday we lost, it hurts me a lot. I experienced it with sadness, not only as a footballer, but as a person who has a lot of connection with this team. Despite the injury, immediately after the end of the match I called some teammates to give them support. Because when you care, that's what you do. But what hit me the most were the words that came afterwards.
Harsh words. Words that divide, not that unite. Throughout my career, I have never looked for excuses. I have always taken my responsibilities. I have played even with pain. And in difficult moments, I have always tried to be a point of reference. Not with words, but with deeds .
The player born in 1994 continued on yesterday's issue: " I respect every opinion, even that of a teammate, even that of the president. However, respect cannot be one-sided. I have always shown this, on and off the field. And I believe that in football, as in life, true strength lies in mutual respect, especially in the most sensitive moments.
I have never betrayed this shirt. I have never said that I am not happy at Inter. In the past I have received offers, even very important ones, but I chose to stay, because I know what this shirt represents for me. And I thought that my choices spoke for themselves. I had the honor of being captain of my national team.
There I learned that a true leader is one who stands by his teammates, not one who looks for blame when it is easier to do so. I love this sport, I love this club. I love these colors for which I have given everything every day. The future? We will see, but history will always remember those who stood their ground, not those who spoke the loudest ,” writes Çalhanoğlu.
