Konyaspor, one of the established teams in the Süper Lig, called on the Turkish Football Federation to repeat the match against Kayserispor.
THEY REQUESTED A REPLAY OF THE MATCH
Following the statements of İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, Konyaspor made the decision to request the replay of the Kayserispor match.
TFF PRESIDENT SAID "THERE IS NO OFFSIDE" ON LIVE BROADCAST
İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu stated that there was 'no offside' in the goal scored by Konyaspor's Keyta, which was canceled due to 'offside' in the Kayserispor - Konyaspor match. While emphasizing that the Kayserispor match should be replayed, the green-white club stated, "This rightful request of ours will also be understood by the Kayserispor community."
KONYASPOR'S STATEMENT IS AS FOLLOWS
Mr. İbrahim Ethem Hacıosmanoğlu, President of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), participated in a TV program this evening and made statements regarding the Kayserispor match we played on Saturday, February 8. Following these statements, it has been confirmed that the points of Konyaspor have been unjustly taken due to the person or persons involved in VAR.
The names of the technical staff who were on duty in VAR during the Kayserispor - Konyaspor match should be shared with the public, along with the previous matches they have officiated. Furthermore, the legal process regarding the match mentioned by our club will be initiated promptly.
Our Konya Member of Parliament, Mr. Mehmet Baykan, shared the written statement from the federation regarding the third goal we scored in the Kayserispor match on his social media accounts on February 14. It seems that Mr. Mecnun Otyakmaz, the 1st Vice President of TFF, was misinformed by the person or persons on duty in VAR, and thus the public was aimed to be misled.
In light of the fair and clean football discourse that everyone has expressed, it is inevitable that the Kayserispor - Konyaspor match be replayed. Because every point in the Süper Lig is worth its weight in gold. This rightful request of ours will also be understood by the Kayserispor community.
WHAT DID HACIOSMANOĞLU SAY?
TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu: "The VAR referee in the Konyaspor-Kayserispor match is foreign. 'Draw the line from the defensive player, not from the attacking player,' he says. There is no offside in the footage either. He says it twice, but he draws the line from the defensive player, and the goal is canceled.
There is a company that does this, we told them not to send that friend again. I leave it to the public's judgment; you don't listen to the referee who is the referee there! Just to give the federation a blow, what could it be!"
