Galatasaray lost 2-1 to Beşiktaş in the Super League. Galatasaray Board Member İbrahim Hatipoğlu blasted referee Yasin Kol after the match.
Hatipoğlu said, "As the host, their hospitality was nice, but the aftermath was not fitting for 'Gentleman Beşiktaş.' The public watched the match played in Bodrum yesterday with astonishment. The second act of this theater was played here. A controversial referee appointment was made. The whole of Turkey saw how a team would be victimized. As far as we followed, all referee authorities saw that there was no red card. He did not give a very clear penalty to Davinson Sanchez. While VAR did not interfere in a position it should not have, it did not intervene where it should have. They always ignored our call for good referees."
"Today, the other issue was that the center referee did not speak English. I am very curious how the center referee spoke to turn the yellow card into a red card? He said the penalty position is being reviewed, but how could he communicate? Galatasaray Club has been champions in the seasons where it led in March. We will defeat all of them, we will be champions. We have all witnessed our opponent's efforts, referee appointments, and cries for foreign referees. We will see the same cry in the match we will play against Fenerbahçe 4 days later. We want justice. We expect referees to call what VAR sees with sensitivity."
"It's not about foreign or local; we want good referees to be appointed. Our eyes will be on those who make the appointments. I am eagerly waiting for the VAR recordings. I am waiting to see what was discussed."
"May is ours. Galatasaray will be the champion. We will reach the championship despite our opponent's futile efforts and all kinds of off-field games. For this, we need to be united and together. The last team to be champions three times in a row in Turkey was again Galatasaray. If you go for your third consecutive championship, you are trying to make others champions. We trust our coach and our players. We will be champions," he said.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Beşiktaş's social media account made striking posts after the derby victory. The black-and-white team published a video themed on Squid Game, targeting head coach Okan Buruk. After this post, Galatasaray reacted to the sharing. The video shared featured images of head coach Okan Buruk jumping.
