Josef De Souza breaks his silence: 'Time shows I was right'

Footballer Josef de Souza, who previously played for Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, has broken his silence on his personal social media account regarding the events that took place during the Ankaragücü - Rizespor match.

"STRICTER REGULATIONS"

Souza included the following statements in his Instagram post:

"Many Turkish television programs are calling me to talk about what happened to the referee. I don't have much to say. Actually, I said everything last year and it is still valid. I extend my best wishes for a speedy recovery to referee Halil Umut Meler. I hope the federation will implement stricter regulations against such behavior towards referees and also players. I was judged for defending a teammate, and now time shows that I was right."
