Former president of Trabzonspor and candidate for the Turkish Football Federation Presidency, İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, made statements about the agenda in a program he attended. Highlights from Hacıosmanoğlu's speech; We come from within football. I had been asked before. At that time, I wanted to stay away, but now Turkish football needs a fair and just administration, a will. There is a lack of will in Turkish football. The will of the minister at the top is very important. If the general assembly members give us the task, we will bring Turkish football to better days by putting forward a fair and determined management. "WE WILL TELL REFEREES TO OFFICIATE MATCHES FAIRLY"Hacıosmanoğlu, who said that the biggest problem is the referees, said, "The president's stance, will is very important. When you favor him, her, Ahmet, Mehmet, Hüseyin, chaos ensues. You can favor someone every week because of that. However, what does the TFF statute say to you; apply the rules, principles to everyone by standing fair and equal. If the president demonstrates this will, it will spread to all the elements below. Referees also see that the president is trying to favor one person one day and another person the next day. They also comply with him and these problems arise. When this happens, there is no justice on the field, chaos ensues. The biggest problem is the referees. We will tell the referees to officiate matches fairly. Despite this, those who react to us are probably showing it to them and it is our duty to remind them of their place. "HOMELAND IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US"Ibrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, who stated that Amedspor supports him, said, "Yes, I have met with them. They say we are Turkey's team. They say this homeland is ours, sports is brotherhood. We are very happy that you have entered into this dialogue with us and we can only do this with you. The homeland is indispensable for us. Why should we be prejudiced against those who love their homeland and want brotherhood in sports? If God permits and I am elected as the federation president, I will watch my first match in Diyarbakır. "NO ONE CAN CALL US ENEMIES OF FENERBAHÇE"Turkey Football Federation Presidential Candidate İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, who said that he looks at all clubs with the same eye, said, "No one can call us enemies of Fenerbahçe. I have always said; Fenerbahçe fans are the most magnificent fans of this country, they support their team the most and provide income. I have said this before. The leading figures of Fenerbahçe are my friends, my comrades. But when representing an institution as a manager, those representing that institution should be careful about their words. Everyone who wants success on the field, who desires it will benefit from our fair and just style. We look at all clubs with the same eye," he said. "WE RECEIVED CONSTANT THREATS BUT DID NOT TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY"Ibrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, who stated that if he is elected president, the rights of the referees will be given, and the desired environment will be provided for everyone, said, "Let's not think of it as closing the referees. There was FETÖ's plot at that time. We were constantly threatened but we did not take it seriously. We had made good transfers, we were doing well. In a Galatasaray match, Denayer made a block like a volleyball player, Cüneyt Çakır did not give our penalty. Then the Konya match, the Antep match... Especially they do it in Trabzon to create chaos. They file a lawsuit from the Netherlands, not from Turkey. It is related to that issue. If it is our term, the rights of the referees will be given, everyone will say where were these referees until now. We have come from those times to these times," he said. "WE WILL BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE, WE WILL ATTEND EVERY MATCH"Hacıosmanoğlu, who emphasized the need for unity in Turkish football, said, "Match-fixing was on the agenda, it was being talked about. I made a speech at a general assembly. It was being talked about that Trabzonspor fixed the match against Sivasspor. At that time, I said, just like Trabzonspor offering match-fixing to Sivasspor, Fenerbahçe came and offered match-fixing to Ofspor, but then I regretted saying that. We have friendship, Turkish football needs unity. I will speak more carefully, I had a small deficiency there. I said, come, let's embrace first, then we will embrace everyone. I will be the president, Mr. Mecnun will be the vice president. We will be friends with everyone, we will attend every match," he said. "OVER 100 CLUBS HAVE SUPPORTED US"Ibrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, who said that over 100 clubs have signed for him, said, "Our reverse gear teeth have been broken from birth. Over 100 clubs have supported us. We have friends in the state, in the civil society who have paved the way. We cannot leave these people and go. There is nothing reaching me, and there is no way to reach me. I have infinite respect and love for our esteemed president who governs this country."
