The Ordinary High Council Meeting of Fenerbahçe Sports Club was held at the Faruk Ilgaz Facilities. Speaking at the meeting, President Sadettin Saran evaluated the events following the Çaykur Rizespor match and the atmosphere within the team.
Stating that Ederson, who conceded a goal after a misjudged exit during stoppage time in yesterday's match, sent a message to the players' WhatsApp group saying, "The responsibility is all mine," Saran provided notable insights into the team's atmosphere.
On the other hand, Saran emphasized the importance of unity and solidarity, stating that they have been kept busy with non-football agendas throughout the season and that Fenerbahçe has been harmed by this situation. "This club is not a place where people try to gain superiority over one another. On the contrary, we grow by standing together. No one should wear each other down for this seat. One fights for Fenerbahçe," he said.
HARSH CRITICISM OF REFEREE DECISIONS
Saran also touched upon the controversial foul decision given before the goal in the Çaykur Rizespor match and the fact that VAR did not intervene. "The goal situation last night... We saw that a foul was called in a position that had nothing to do with a foul before the goal. VAR did not intervene. We paid a very heavy price with a goal that came as a result of that position. Is justice equal for everyone in this league? Enough! We cannot allow anyone's effort and hard work to be disregarded so easily! You might think we are silent, but we have neither been silent nor held back! We spoke after every match. We held those responsible for every mistake accountable in the necessary places."
Making a call to the President of the Turkish Football Federation, Saran drew attention to the problems in the system with the words, "We have held the necessary meetings regarding what happened. Every time we heard the same things; 'You are right.' Then why does it continue! The Central Referee Committee (MHK) owes us an explanation. I am calling on the federation president. Saying 'You are right' behind the scenes is not enough. We have been careful not to get involved in referee controversies since the beginning of the season, but this is not a point to be ignored."
Stating that they have four matches left, the Fenerbahçe President underlined that they must not lose their fighting spirit in the team: "It is easy to say we lost, I did not build this team, and to fall apart, but we have to fight again and get back up! We will not let this feeling tear us apart. We have 4 matches left. We will continue our fight until the last minute."
