"THE ISSUE IS NOT TFF, BUT THE STRUCTURE OF MHK"
In his statement, Serdal Adalı emphasized that the problem does not stem from the management board of the Turkish Football Federation, but rather the structure of the Central Refereeing Committee. Adalı stated that his interlocutor in discussions with TFF should be the President of MHK.
CRITICISM OF FERHAT GÜNDOĞDU
Adalı expressed that he believes MHK President Ferhat Gündoğdu does not have sufficient authority over the referees, stating that he could bring referees to every match if necessary. He also criticized the VAR system, saying that the long training processes are unacceptable.
"THEY ARE PLAYING WITH THE NERVES OF THREE COMMUNITIES"
Serdal Adalı emphasized that he is not completely against Turkish referees regarding referee mistakes, stating that it is acceptable for young referees to make mistakes, but the current situation is different.

They are playing with our nerves."
