Beşiktaş's head coach Sergen Yalçın responded to the reporter's statement after the Galatasaray match, "Coach, Okan Buruk just said he was complaining about the referees." Reacting to this statement, the experienced coach said, "What is Okan Buruk complaining about? He has been winning championships with these referees for 3 years, and now he is complaining?"
Beşiktaş's head coach Sergen Yalçın made statements after the match against Galatasaray played in the 25th week of the Super League.
''OKAN BURUK IS ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT THE REFEREES''
Sergen Yalçın became tense in response to a reporter's question, "Sir, Okan Buruk just said he is also complaining about the referees."
''HE HAS BEEN BECOMING CHAMPION WITH REFEREES FOR 3 YEARS''
Sergen Yalçın stated that Okan Buruk should not be complaining about the referees, saying, "What is Okan Buruk complaining about? He has been becoming champion with these referees for 3 years, and is he complaining?"
''THE SITUATION TURKISH FOOTBALL IS IN IS NOT HEALTHY''
Continuing his words, Sergen Yalçın said, "Unfortunately, this is a very sad situation. It is not sad for us. We are already not in the league, we are behind in points. This is a very big problem for Turkish football. We, as the Beşiktaş community, are saddened. What happened is, in my opinion, a disaster! This is not normal. There are rules. This game is played with rules. Referees exist for the rules. When it comes to me, it's different, when it comes to there, it's different. Naturally, we are discussing these things. You leave me with 10 players in Trabzon, you leave me with 10 players in the Fenerbahçe match. You say it's a rule. Isn't there a rule here, for example! Are the rules not being applied in this match! Such inexperienced referees, unfortunately, I used to say when I was a commentator last year, 'what's the need for foreign referees, foreign VAR,' but the situation Turkish football is in is not healthy."
