Swift response from Güntekin Onay to Şenol Güneş, who targeted the broadcaster

Beşiktaş left their away match against Konyaspor with a 2-0 victory in the 7th week of the Süper Lig. Manager Şenol Güneş spoke at the press conference held after the match.

"AN ENVIRONMENT OF DISTRUST HAS BEEN CREATED"

Stating that they are going through a difficult period, Güneş said:

"We played away. We have, of course, gone through a difficult period. We lost very cheaply in two away matches. That has also left a trauma on the team. An environment of distrust has been created off the pitch since the beginning of the season, but while we were trying to cover this up with the results we achieved, the 6 points we lost in those two matches naturally affected our position in the league."

"I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE IMPARTIALITY OF THE BROADCASTER"

Criticizing the broadcaster in harsh terms, the experienced manager said, "Arguments have also been discussed in the public eye, especially among our fans, to create distrust." and added:

"I told the broadcaster to their face just a moment ago. I am saying it now as well; I do not believe in their impartiality. I do not think they have good intentions. Because they are trying to destroy. But our fans also need to wake up to that issue. You can already show your intentions with your commentary, but it is very bad to indicate it with actual footage. If the institution that does not speak without being bothered when we score a goal in the Pendikspor match, shows that footage when a goal is scored in another match, then I have nothing to say. In other words, you put that footage on air when you want, and you don't when you don't want to. Well, how are we supposed to trust these institutions? In the same situation, your team plays poorly, of course, you will criticize. But through criticism, only this is being done: how to create distrust within the community. We have already had 'management resign' and such since the summer. Criticism is fine, but if these things are talked about every day and if you are made to feel regret for winning a match, I do not think there is any sincerity here. This is a dangerous situation. Not for us. It is a dangerous situation in Turkish football. I see it as a sign of disrespect."

"LET'S LEAVE THE PLAYERS AND THE MANAGEMENT ALONE"

Continuing his reaction, Güneş said, ''The match has been won, and then it's 'there is the Africa Cup,' if there is, there is, it's something we always talk about. When you lose, it's 'who shall we blame, who shall we destroy.' I see something strange right now. We are already criticizing our own incomplete play in the two matches we lost from time to time. You will criticize too. But we have crossed the boundaries of this criticism. Other intentions have been introduced, and I think the community is falling into a trap. I want the fans to be calmer. Because the smallest mistake we make here can cause harm. I do not find it right for the issues that are being pumped in from the outside to be discussed within our community. Everyone is open to everything. We, the players, and I are striving for the team to be successful. If there are shortcomings, they can be criticized by the community. But if we are going to ignore even the matches we win with non-existent issues, and if we always try to exclude when we lose in an exaggerated way, that is not right. Transfers have been made, this and that have been done, these are all true. Yes, I said it before. The players and the club do not have such a problem right now. But I am the one responsible for the unsuccessful results we have achieved. Therefore, let's leave the players and the management alone. But when it comes to both the president and me, and later the player, not all transfers turned out perfectly. Not all of our players are ready. These will be criticized. We are evaluating them as well,'' he said.

SWIFT RESPONSE FROM GÜNTEKİN ONAY: ŞENOL HOCA IS TENSE

Responding to Şenol Güneş's words during a live broadcast, moderator Güntekin Onay stated that the experienced figure was a bit tense, saying, "His team is 8 points behind. They conceded 3 goals in Trabzon, 4 goals in Adana, and escaped a blowout in Bruges. They were not playing as he wanted in away games. The pressure brought by the 8-point gap is significant. The words 'I do not trust the broadcaster' are interesting," and added the following:

"HE WOULD HAVE SEEN THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN HIS DREAMS"

If this were the broadcaster during Şenol Hoca's championship, it would be the same. If the broadcaster were manipulating, if they wanted to create a rivalry, Başakşehir would have seen the championship in their dreams. Let's be clear about that. Let's admit that Trabzonspor's ratings are lower than Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and Beşiktaş. Trabzonspor would not have been able to become champion either. When Sergen Hoca was at the head of Beşiktaş, who was broadcasting the matches? beIN Sports was broadcasting them. Who can do what?

"I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS JOB FOR 32 YEARS"

"Who could have a problem with Şenol Hoca? I have been doing this job for 32 years, and I have never entered into a polemic with anyone. I have never disrespected anyone. Our friend Gürler, who conducted the interview, is an extremely polite and clean-cut kid. Feyyaz Uçar, his nickname is 'Kibar Feyyaz' (Gentle Feyyaz). He has never broken anyone's heart in his life. Şenol Hoca's tension, the fact that his team is 8 points behind, and that they are not playing good football, probably has nothing to do with us or our institution."
