The star of Super Lig giant Fenerbahçe, Edin Dzeko, made striking statements regarding the referee's decisions after their 3-2 victory against Trabzonspor. "THE VAR MUST HAVE GONE TO THE TOILET!"Criticizing the referee with harsh words, Dzeko said, "Where should I start... We are fighting against too many people. We succeeded today, but we can't always succeed. It's hard to fight against multiple opponents. We saw this this season. There are many young good referees in the new generation. They blew the whistle in our matches too. Authorities should allow these young referees to officiate. They can make mistakes, we make mistakes too. Someone from above should be allowed to manage the matches. The decisions made by VAR should be equal. VAR must have taken 2-3 toilet breaks during our situations. There was a penalty in our favor, and there was a red card that should have been given to the opponent. They must have been in the toilet during that time. When the hand is this open, it should have been a penalty. Something needs to change for football. If it continues like this, we are in trouble. This is a situation that has been ongoing. Let the young referees officiate. There should be no interference from above. "WE ARE IN TROUBLE"Continuing his remarks, Dzeko said, "Something needs to change for football. If it continues like this, we are in trouble. The people who talk and think about this situation should not be players. It's hard not to talk when it happens every week; it's hard to focus. The things we see are strange. We are trying to do our best. After what happened last year, we came here with humility, and we played that way too. There may be things we talk a lot about regarding the referee, but what happens on the field is undeniable. Strange things are happening. This referee is 26 years old, 12 years younger than me. They can make mistakes; they develop as they make mistakes. A tiny contact, a penalty intervention from above. This is not ballet; it's football. Football is not a contactless sport. A tiny contact, a penalty intervention from above. We are not doing ballet; we are playing football," he expressed.
