National team players have made their decision: New claim regarding TFF President Hacıosmanoğlu's villa promise

Following the A National Football Team's exit from the World Cup in the group stage, a new claim has been made regarding the bonus and award topics that have been on the agenda. It has been alleged that the national players have reached a joint decision regarding the promise of TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, who had previously announced he would gift villas in Bodrum to the players.

HACIOSMANOĞLU HAD PROMISED VILLAS

TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu had announced that if the A National Team succeeded in qualifying for the World Cup, he would gift villas in Bodrum to the players.

In his statement on the matter, Hacıosmanoğlu said, ''We have not been able to participate in the World Cup for 22 years. If such an opportunity exists, we, as the management, will do what is necessary. We will build 4 thousand villas in Bodrum. If we qualify for the World Cup, we will give these houses to our players. There is no situation where these houses will be given after being sold to the TFF. I will give these houses to our players out of my own pocket,'' he had stated.

IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE PLAYERS WILL NOT ACCEPT THE VILLAS

While various assessments were being made in the public eye following the World Cup, a claim shared by journalist Serdar Ali Çelikler came to the fore. Accordingly, it was alleged that the players in the A National Team squad have decided not to accept the villas that İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu announced he would gift in Bodrum.

Çelikler shared his information regarding the event, which has been a topic of discussion recently, by saying: “There are no villas. That is a plot of land in Bargilya Village that has zoning permit problems and is constantly in litigation. Because the permit was not issued, it was intended to be facilitated by saying, 'I will give villas to the National Team.'

I had said I hope it doesn't happen, because that place is a bird sanctuary. It would have ruined Bodrum! I am very happy that 26 out of 26, meaning all the players, have said yes, let's state it. The players will inform the TFF after the USA match that they do not want the villas. All 26 players are in agreement that they do not want the villa."

BONUS CRISIS CLAIM

In his assessments, Serdar Ali Çelikler also included inside information regarding the A National Team's camp process. Claiming that some question marks had formed among the players regarding bonuses, Çelikler stated that there were discrepancies between the figures mentioned before the tournament and the amounts announced later. Çelikler's remarks regarding camp conditions and support for the technical staff also drew attention.

"İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu says, '1 million euros bonus per person' after the Kosovo match. Then Mr. İbrahim says, 'I said too much, let it be 500,000 euros. 250 of this will be paid when we go to the USA, and 250 when the tournament ends.' When there was both a decrease and an installment issue, I heard that some players asked Hakan Çalhanoğlu, 'Captain, didn't you say anything?' They said that no such thing happened. But something like this did happen. Very little money was left for the staff.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu collected 150,000 euros, Merih Demiral 200,000 euros, and other players 100,000 euros and distributed it to the 'staff'.

They paid this out of their own pockets as well. I asked, 'If there is no bonus problem, why did this happen?' They said, 'We didn't understand either. Arizona is bad, the hotel is bad. There is no other problem. We experienced too much anxiety.' They didn't bring a mentor, psychologist, or psychiatrist. As for Arizona, if it was bad, couldn't they have spent out of pocket and gone somewhere else?"

No official statement has been made by the parties regarding the claim in question so far.
