Dilmen speaks clearly on the penalty incident

Rıdvan Dilmen spoke about the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray derby that ended in a goalless draw. Noting that Galatasaray was the side closer to victory, Dilmen also commented on Mauro Icardi's penalty incident.

Rıdvan Dilmen's statements are as follows:

• Records were broken this year that will likely not be broken again. One is Fenerbahçe, the other is Galatasaray. If they had told both managers in the 17th week of the league, 'We will give you 44 points each,' they would have said, 'I would be satisfied with 40.'
• Arda Kardeşler blew that final whistle with a sigh of relief. He added 1 minute to the first half with 20 fouls, 3-4 offsides, and several arguments. In the second half, 3.5 minutes of the 6 minutes were already not played. When giving a yellow card or a foul, he says, 'Wait a minute.' He wants it to end as soon as possible. He probably said, 'I managed the match without any trouble.'
• Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray broke records tonight. There are so many fouls in a match, so many back passes, and the ball is in play for so little time.
• If someone from abroad watched today's derby, or even made their children watch it, those children would sleep soundly. Galatasaray was undoubtedly closer to victory today. Okan's plans largely worked.
• Galatasaray is not unhappy with the points. Fenerbahçe is not unhappy. Only the fans are unhappy. In terms of chances, Fenerbahçe had the shot by Szymanski that went just past the post. And there was King's. Other than that, there was nothing. The stress and pressure worked very much against Fenerbahçe.
• From the angle we saw, Icardi's incident is an indisputable penalty. He slaps him as he is going away. If the VAR referee had called him, he would have looked for 5 seconds and given the penalty. It is a penalty that is impossible not to give or not to call.
