Super League giant Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı made statements that will be widely discussed at the press conference regarding the referee assignment for the Beşiktaş-Galatasaray match.
Highlights from Adalı's statements;
"TFF CHANGED THE HORSE WHILE CROSSING THE STREAM"
Speaking about the TFF's referee decision, Adalı said, "We requested a foreign referee for the Galatasaray derby from TFF. We wanted this because Slavko Vincic had been assigned previously. Equality and justice could only be achieved this way. By assigning a foreign referee to this derby, TFF changed the horse while crossing the stream. Turkish referees were given the message 'You are not sufficient.' Other matches were given the message 'Your matches are not important.' TFF has supported the two-team rivalry that is being created." he said.
"TFF IS THE TOY OF FENERBAHÇE AND GALATASARAY"
Stating that they wanted to see Slavko Vincic in the derby but their request went unanswered, Adalı said, "We expressed that we wanted to see a foreign referee and even Slavko Vincic in derbies. However, our request for justice has gone unanswered! TFF has shown that it is the toy of Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray!" he stated.
"HACIOSMANOĞLU SHOULD RESIGN"
Making striking statements about the TFF President, Adalı said, "No one should pressure Beşiktaş to 'trust foreign referees'! A person who threatens referees in the dressing room should not give us advice! Such a person cannot solve the problems of Turkish football! He should resign immediately!" he expressed.
Addressing the members of the TFF board of directors, Adalı said, "I am addressing all board members who signed this decision... If they have any honor and pride, I invite them all to leave such a federation! Until now, we have paid attention to our tone, but since you understand this language, we will continue in this way!" he stated.
"TFF PRESIDENT SHOULD REFEREE HIMSELF"
Stating that the cause of the chaos that may arise in the derby is TFF, President Adalı said, "The cause of the chaos that may arise in the derby is TFF! A referee who does not know English and does not have a FIFA badge, who stabbed Beşiktaş in Alanya! If TFF President wants, he can come and referee the derby himself! From now on, we don't care!" he said.
"THE SO-CALLED ZORBAY KÜÇÜK"
Continuing his statements, Serdal Adalı said, "Despite our only request for equality, we paid the price for wanting a foreign referee in the derby with the scandalous management of the so-called Zorbay Küçük." he stated.
"WE WILL FOLLOW EVERY DECISION"
Adalı, who believes they will defeat Galatasaray in the derby, said, "No matter who the referee is, we are confident that we will defeat Galatasaray. We will follow every decision in the match! Additionally, we will also monitor the attitudes of the opposing team's coach and players! We believe that the Galatasaray community, which criticizes TFF's decisions, will react to this situation. Otherwise, we will think that TFF and Galatasaray have renewed their vows." he expressed.
