The President of Fenerbahçe Club, Ali Koç, made a statement regarding referee discussions, foreign VAR, the Ziraat Turkey Cup, and many other current issues in Turkish football, as announced. ALI KOÇ WAS SWEATINGDuring part of the press conference, Ali Koç took questions from journalists and answered them. Reporter Beril Böke posed a question that put Koç in a difficult position. Böke asked, "You mentioned that you decided to participate in the cup after the TFF's decision to bring in a foreign VAR referee for Super League matches. You explained the process regarding participation in the Ziraat Turkey Cup from April 2nd until now. It has been about a 10-month process. A match will be played tomorrow, and you announced today whether you will participate or not, whether you will play or not. Could your timing preferences regarding decision-making, taking action, and announcing this affect your sporting failure?" "I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION"Koç struggled to answer the question, saying, "I didn't understand the question. Do we think our friends are sitting around and not working during these times? No, what should this decision be made today, three days ago, or if it is not made a week in advance, how could it affect sporting success, Beril? I am asking to understand in order to answer the question." Böke then asked, "When did your players find out that you would be playing tomorrow's match?" and Ali Koç replied, "Our players have been informed from this moment onwards."
