The debate between Acun Ilıcalı and İbrahim Hatipoğlu has flared up again: "You are lying to my face."

Fenerbahçe defeated Sivasspor 4-0 in the 12th week of the Trendyol Super League and settled in 2nd place, 5 points behind the leader Galatasaray. After the match, Fenerbahçe's vice president Acun Ilıcalı made striking statements.

"YOU ARE LYING"

In his statement, Acun Ilıcalı said, "If a theater or a movie is not played, we see ourselves as favorites for the championship. We are experiencing very strange things in Turkish football. Our claim is always that strange things are happening. We say we are ready for discussion. Whenever Galatasaray wins a match, they say there are no controversial positions. We are talking seasonally. They ask where the structure is? There was a funny incident last week. Are we the ones who say let's discuss the positions? The offer came from Galatasaray. Let's put it back for everyone who can't read or write. İbrahim Hatipoğlu said it live. Is there anyone else who has a claim besides this? Then we accepted it. We talked to İbrahim Hatipoğlu, and it was said that the last national team break should be taken into account. Is there a disrespect, is there a lie? Dear Hatipoğlu, or rather, Unloving Hatipoğlu said, 'It's wrong, there is no such thing.' You are lying while looking into my eyes. I am at a loss for what to do. He is lying. This time, there was no response," he said.

ACUN ILICALI'S "SCALE" REMINDER

Continuing his words, Fenerbahçe's Vice President said, "They said Acun won't meet with me from now on. What will you discuss anyway? You said the thief runs away from the scale, and you ran away from the scale. They said let Fenerbahçe lose points, and let's see what happened. When Fenerbahçe loses points, are the rights that were taken away forgotten? What a beautiful world this is. I am addressing Fenerbahçe fans from here. We will fight to the end. We want no one's rights to be violated," he stated.

In his statement, Acun Ilıcalı said, "The time to collapse the structure is shown by time. Important steps are being taken in this regard. If you pay attention today, there was a comedy in Trabzon. They made the referee do what they wanted. It was the same operation attempt, but there was a referee who rebelled. The TFF is in a clear effort. Although I was penalized, it doesn't matter. We see the TFF's effort and we support it," he said.

"THE ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS THANKS TO FENERBAHÇE"

Continuing his words, Acun Ilıcalı stated, "If Turkey is going to send a team directly to the Champions League, it is thanks to Fenerbahçe. Go and see who has collected the most points. Don't chase a single defeat. If a team is going to go directly to the Champions League, it is because of Fenerbahçe," he explained.

IBRAHIM HATIPOGLU'S WORDS

Galatasaray executive İbrahim Hatipoğlu made statements after their 3-2 victory against Samsunspor. Hatipoğlu reacted to the validity of Fenerbahçe's first goal, which was disputed. The statements of the yellow-red administrator are as follows;

"There is no structure here, there is a very big shame here! Referees give penalties against Galatasaray very easily. Perceptions have given them courage! We have conceded 11 goals, 6 of which are penalties. All of them are gray positions. Just now, despite a clear handball in the Fenerbahçe match, a goal was given. Our patience is really running out. We want to trust referees in Turkey, but 6 of the 11 goals we conceded are penalties! This cannot go on like this; this shame must be eliminated! The MHK should review the decisions made in the meantime! Because the course is not a good sign! There should be no such mistakes in favor of or against anyone! We want justice in referee decisions. VAR interventions seriously affect important matches. Don't they see these? We will follow these issues! We saw the last drops that overflowed the glass in these two penalties! A penalty is given for shoulder-to-shoulder struggle, and VAR calls for a position right in front of the referee. It's not about foreign or local referees; a good referee is the solution! To raise the brand value of Turkish football, referees must perform well first. They have been shouting and calling for 10 weeks and have managed to influence the referees. I will not have a meeting with Acun Ilıcalı! I made a statement that day; the matter is closed.

GALATASARAY'S STATEMENT

On the other hand, Galatasaray also made a statement reacting to the refereeing and the Turkish Football Federation due to the penalties awarded against them after the Samsunspor match. The statement from the yellow-reds is as follows;

"The immoral perception studies directed at our club in recent weeks have reached their peak with the ridiculous decisions in the match we played today.

The meaningless decisions, where the central referee and the VAR referee compete for the lead role, awarded against us, have shown everyone how difficult a victory we achieved today.

Those who have been crying for weeks saying 'structure structure' are the insidious planners of this shame today.

The aim is to create an unfair double standard against Galatasaray and to restore equality at the table.

We know this dirty game from previous years.

That is why, even if we win today, we will not remain silent.

We will continue to fight to change this mentality that accepts injustice as its right and considers every means permissible to win.

Until there is justice for everyone, not privilege for one club, we will not give up our rightful search.

We want those who signed this shame today from the Turkish Football Federation to be urgently questioned about their performance and intentions.

The attitude that this management, which set out with the promise of bringing justice, will show today is very important in terms of demonstrating their fair stance regarding the future of Turkish football.

Galatasaray Sports Club will follow this shame on every platform and will take all necessary actions."
