Speaking about the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray derby, which ended in a 1-1 draw and was highly controversial due to the decisions made by referee Yasin Kol, Hacıosmanoğlu said, "The President and Vice President of Galatasaray Club came and we had a discussion. Brother Dursun, my brother Abdullah. We left here happily. They had a complaint regarding the match. A yellow card was not given.
But I believe the club that should complain here is Fenerbahçe. The referee did not affect the outcome of the match, but clubs need to understand that Turkish football cannot be manipulated through perception and guidance. They should not compare us with the old administrations," he said. Hacıosmanoğlu's words quickly went viral.
