Trabzonspor announces with 'Bravo to you'

The club shared the following statement on social media:

The VAR records published by the Turkish Football Federation declare that Turkish football is no longer a festering wound, but a decaying body.

A referee, ignoring the truth unfolding before their eyes, disregards what is "there"; because the instruction dictated to them by someone else is more valuable than justice. And then that ironic word spills out: "Bravo." This single word coming from Erkan Engin's mouth is the tip of the dagger plunged into the heart of football.

While Volkan Bayarslan compromises his own will, the honor of his profession, and the spirit of the game, it is not just Trabzonspor's goal that is canceled on that pitch, but football itself. A referee earns a 'bravo' by trampling on justice; this is exactly where Turkish football has arrived.

But bravo to you, those who grind football in the gears of this rotten system! Bravo, those who make this beautiful game an appetizer for your own dirty agendas! Do not forget, the truth is never lost, it is only silenced for a while. And one day, when that cry for justice returns to the pitches, you will only be remembered by the echo of those silent “bravos.” That is when the true owners of this game will take back the applause, and only the truth will remain on the stage.
