-I can't forget the 4-3 away win against Trabzonspor and the goal I scored in that match. 

-The match against Fenerbahce in my third season was very important for me. The win in that game turned out to be a turning point for us.

-My wife and children speak Turkish well. I speak less.

-I have always been in good terms  with Ricardo Quaresma. We have achieved  a lot for Beşiktaş together. I was happy to be reunited with him today.

-The most important period in my career was playing for Beşiktaş. I was very happy to wear the Beşiktaş jersey. I have won championships and had great successes with this jersey.

-Istanbul is a very lively cosmopolitant city. People know me and support me. This special bond has always motivated me. Me and my family feel like at home here.

-I was very honored with the song "Atiba Hutchinson, let the clashes begin" sung by our fans. My children still sing that  song at home.

-Besiktas fans are the best in the world. The atmosphere created by our fans in this stadium is found nowhere else.

-Anytime, anywhere,  Besiktas is the greatest.”
