Haciosmanoglu, however, said there was no longer any place for Volkan at Trabzonspor.
“It is impossible to condone fans swearing at a player, but I cannot accept a professional footballer leaving the pitch,” he said in a televised interview late tonight after the game. “You are not playing marbles in the street. There is no place for such behavior in our team.”

The club released an official statement condemning the incident the following morning, but also criticized the player.

“We condemn these people and have started legal procedures against those uncouth individuals who call themselves supporters,” the statement read. “However, [Volkan’s] behavior does not reflect either a professional footballer’s correct attitude or the values of Trabzonspor. Our board will decide on the issue later,” the statement said.
