Bu dünya senin gibi insanlara daha çok ihtiyaç duyuyor." (in Hebrew: "I will miss you, my great friend. This world needs more people like you").

the channel Sansürsüz Medya +18, known for its general news approach and less focus on sports, added details about the circumstances of the farewell and noted that Torreira said goodbye to Ceylan with a hug and tears.

Despite the differences in the nature of the channels, both report on the same human and personal event, which highlights the connection of foreign football players to the local staff that accompanies them during their time in Turkey.
