Wrong party, Turkey's hero risks suspension

Merih Demiral, was the hero of Turkey, in the match against Austria, where they won with the result 2-1, to qualify for the quarter-finals of the European Championship.

The defender scored two goals to ensure the Turks advance further. However, after the celebration may come a punishment for the player.

The 26-year-old has chosen a wrong way to celebrate the triumph over the Austrians. UEFA has launched an investigation against the player, due to a sign with his hands.

Demiral raised his hands up, making the "wolf" sign with his fingers, which is a symbol of the "Grey Wolves" group, which in some countries is considered an extremist organization, because its ideology is the return of the great Turkey that stretches from the Balkans to in China.

"Regarding the match of the 1/16 round of the European Championship between Austria and Turkey played on July 2 in Leipzig, Germany, an investigation has been opened in accordance with Article 31 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations regarding the conduct inappropriate allusion to Turkey player Merih Demiral," a UEFA statement read.

If UEFA takes Demiral's gesture as a political message, then the defender risks being suspended for the next match, which Turkey will play against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.

There is also the possibility that the player will be fined. The decision will be revealed before the next match of the Turkish national team.
