Kartal quit live at Ülker. He used the post-match presser after Fenerbahçe 1-1 Roma to say he was never coming back, turning a Champions League Thursday into a resignation while the home draw was still fresh. The coach made leaving look like the main event of the night. Aziz Yıldırım refused the resignation minutes later. The president said he is the senior in this club. He said they are a family and that was the whole speech. Kartal went for the grand exit. The family leash dragged him back. Grown men turned Ülker into a staff meeting with the cameras still rolling. Fenerbahçe managed to make a 1-1 with Roma feel smaller than the argument that followed it. Both men spent a Champions League night competing to look in charge while a home crowd watched the club argue with itself over a 1-1. The football was the least interesting thing in the building once the microphones came on. All of it died at the presser.
