In his statement following the draw, Yazgan said, "There are 26 cameras, yet our friends did not show the position from what is a very difficult angle. We saw that it was a penalty and a red card. I don't know why the referee couldn't see it.
He also couldn't see it in the Ankaragücü-Fenerbahçe and Fenerbahçe-Karagümrük matches. There is also VAR, and it looks at whatever is sent to it. The TFF should go and ask beIN Media.
Somehow, at the end of the match, they pulled a position out of a hat like a rabbit. Were these images sent to VAR? TFF officials should ask, how many of the 26 cameras sent footage to VAR? It is a very obvious position. The referee didn't see it, what did VAR see? Our interlocutor is not beIN Media," he said.
"THEY ARE PITTING US AGAINST EACH OTHER"
Stating that the TFF needs to investigate, Yazgan said, "The TFF should question beIN Media. There is intent here, there is malice. We will file our application. Turkey's biggest problem is the broadcaster. They are acting with ill intent. They are pitting us against each other.
Naturally, İsmail Kartal feels compelled to respond to Okan Buruk's words. I hope the TFF investigates this matter and imposes the necessary penalties.
In this situation, their own referees are being called into question. One should be ashamed; we call this a world-class derby. We will follow up on this matter. These people are pitting us against each other," he stated.
"A SITUATION CONTRARY TO HUMAN RIGHTS"
Eray Yazgan said, "There was a tense atmosphere when arriving at the match. Executives have certain responsibilities. Excluding the reactions of a few Fenerbahçe executives after the match, they generally tried to show us common sense and hospitable behavior.
There were some established arrangements there. Giant speakers were placed in front of our fans. This is a situation contrary to human rights.
Similarly, when the team bus was entering the gate, there were some staff members who were, in my opinion, more royalist than the king and inclined to abuse their duties, making efforts to escalate the tension. When we contacted Fenerbahçe executives and TFF officials, these tensions were resolved," he added.
