Demiral Sparks Controversy: Al-Nassr Player on My Blacklist

The Turkish defender, Merih Demiral, sparked widespread controversy after new statements in which he revealed intriguing behind-the-scenes details of his team's match against Al-Nassr.

Demiral spoke during his appearance on a Turkish podcast about his heated altercation with Frenchman Kingsley Coman, explaining that the strong tackles during the match were the reason for the tension between them.

The defender pointed out that he almost lost his temper completely after a violent tackle from Coman, but he managed to control himself to avoid getting a red card that would have affected his team.

Demiral added that the situation escalated to a point of intense anger, to the extent that he was close to a direct confrontation with the French player during the match.

The player revealed a surprise by placing Coman on what he described as the "blacklist," confirming that the relationship between them has remained tense since a previous encounter between the national teams of Turkey and France.

On another note, Demiral clarified the details of the moment when he raised the medal inside Al-Nassr Stadium after the end of the match, which sparked widespread debate among fans and followers.

He said that the idea was pre-planned, as he handed the medal to a crew member before the match, to use it later to send a message after the final whistle.

He concluded his statements by confirming that he retrieved the medal after the match and raised it on the field in a moment he described as planned to demonstrate his presence and respond in his own way.
