Ahead of the match where Amed Sportif Activities will face Trabzonspor in Diyarbakır, a past statement by TFF President İbrahim Ethem Hacıosmanoğlu has been recalled. Hacıosmanoğlu's words, "What I will tell the referees is this: if Trabzonspor is playing Diyarbakırspor, and you have even a slight discretion, you will use that discretion in favor of Diyarbakırspor," drew attention before the match.
In the 3rd week of the Trendyol Super League, Amed Sportif Activities and Trabzonspor will face off in Diyarbakir. Before the match, a statement made by the President of the Turkish Football Federation, Ibrahim Ethem Haciosmanoglu, in previous years drew attention.
"YOU WILL USE YOUR DISCRETION IN FAVOR OF DIYARBAKIRSPOR"
In a statement he made regarding referees in the past, Haciosmanoglu had given a notable example involving Trabzonspor and Diyarbakirspor.
Haciosmanoglu's statements from that period were as follows:
"What I will say to the referees is this: If Trabzonspor is playing Diyarbakirspor, and you have even a slight discretion, you will use that discretion in favor of Diyarbakirspor."
A CRITICAL MATCH IN DIYARBAKIR YEARS LATER
This example that Haciosmanoglu gave in the past regarding Trabzonspor and Diyarbakirspor was remembered again because Amedspor and Trabzonspor will face each other in Diyarbakir. In the match in the 3rd week of the Trendyol Super League, both teams will fight to leave the field with 3 points.
