Galatasaray Secretary General Eray Yazgan made striking statements before the Eyüpspor match. Yazgan reacted to the referee appointments. "THIS SUPPORT WILL NEVER END"Eray Yazgan said, "Today, we will face Eyüpspor after approximately 87 years. This match has significance. We have brothers coming from the container city in Maraş. We will host them during the ceremony. I believe we have once again demonstrated how true our statement that this support will never end is through these actions." "THIS REFEREE APPOINTMENT IS A SIGN OF BAD INTENT"Yazgan stated regarding the referee appointments, "The recent referee mistakes have deeply shaken not only Galatasaray but also the sense of justice in Turkish football. Despite MHK's insistence on appointing referees with biased and below-average performances, especially after our coach Okan Buruk expressed his discomfort, this habit continues. This shows us that it is a sign of bad intent," he said. Continuing his words, Eray Yazgan said, "Mistakes are human, but constantly repeating errors are part of someone's deliberate plans. We see this clearly. We do not see good intentions in MHK's appointments." he stated. "A DECISION BEYOND SCANDAL"Eray Yazgan said, "The fact that Ali Şansalan has not been appointed to a Fenerbahçe match for nearly 3 years is related to the megaphone incident that occurred after the Trabzon match. In contrast, the appointment of such referees in Galatasaray matches is a sign of double standards. The VAR appointment made today is also a decision beyond scandal. Those who made this decision will eventually be weighed down by this burden. This individual has a controversial past criticized by UEFA, both with the questionable penalty decision in the Alanya match and in the Legia Warsaw vs. Dinamo match on November 6." he expressed. "NO TURKISH REFEREE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED A MATCH IN EUROPE"Eray Yazgan stated, "Last week, nearly 100 matches were played in Europe. As far as I know, no Turkish referee was assigned a match. The appointment of the VAR referee, who is responsible for UEFA's attitude, to our match today is a scandal. When the scales of justice are tilted, the spirit of football is lost. It is observed that the decline in referee performances has become systematic." he remarked. "MHK IS SHADOWING THE NEUTRALITY OF TURKISH FOOTBALL"Finally, Yazgan said, "MHK's insistence on these individuals is shadowing the neutrality of Turkish football and eliminating a fair competitive environment. We have not grown tired and will not grow tired of being the party that constantly emphasizes the fair and transparent management of Turkish football. History writes those who fight for justice. We will continue to stand tall against this injustice." he concluded.
