Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç: An interference before the election

Fenerbahçe, which drew 2-2 with Alanyaspor in the postponed match of the 1st week of the Trendyol Super League, lost 2 very critical points.

Ali Koç made notable statements after the match. While Ali Koç was speaking, Fenerbahçe players also entered the frame to show their support.

Here are the statements of Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç:

"We evaluated the issue thoroughly upstairs. The team also evaluated it in the locker room. There is an election on Sunday. This is an operation carried out before this election. Let no one tell me the story of digital assignment. Everyone at the TFF knows that it was not a digital assignment. We were expecting something like this after Sunday's match, after they knowingly and willingly appointed the last referee who should have been assigned here, someone shameless with a Galatasaray nickname for training."

"What these referees are, what these two referees are, is well known by Fenerbahçe fans. For a long time, I have tried to explain to the esteemed TFF President and the MHK President who he is, what he represents, and what ideals and ideologies he is attached to. As long as my heart beats in this body, the whole country will see, one way or another, what Mr. Ferhat Gündoğdu is and what he represents. This is not how things work. All of Ankara is talking about MHK President Ferhat Gündoğdu."

"WHOEVER SENT HIM HERE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS"

"What did the esteemed TFF president say? 'I cannot accept a VAR referee making a mistake.' We waited a while to see how the issue would be handled. It is rare to have two penalties in one position. Such a position occurred here. No matter which authority you ask, they say there are two penalties. It's like a joke! The stoppage time was already played for 2 minutes. He listened as if he were going to the VAR and ended the match. Whoever sent him here is responsible for this."

"Mr. President, I am addressing you. You said the VAR referee cannot make a mistake. We are waiting for your stance. For the sake of Turkish football, please, please listen to who your MHK president is and what he is. All of Ankara is talking about this person. Why aren't you listening, why aren't you investigating?"

"IT IS AN INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTIONS"

"He is not someone who would serve as MHK President in terms of his refereeing career anyway. They appointed him last time, and they put someone behind him named Ahmet Şahin; that was the real one. The appointment of this referee here before the election is an interference before the elections."

"Depending on the election results on Monday, I will fight against everyone, especially the MHK; this mentality will not be able to stand against Fenerbahçe. We will be champions one way or another. Did we play very well? No. Did we deserve the draw? No. We missed a penalty, we conceded ridiculous goals. If it were 3-0, 5-0, 4-1, it wouldn't matter, but okay. It is unacceptable that the VAR did not call for two positions that were both penalties, and that the referee did not call what he saw. These men came here for a duty. They fulfilled their duty. If Turkish referees are interfering in the Fenerbahçe elections, we have reached the end of the line."
