Beşiktaş Technical Director Şenol made a speech at the Ordinary Election General Assembly of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). Şenol Güneş, who stated that he could not speak because he was a TFF employee when he coached the National Football Team before, but it was more beneficial to speak instead of being silent, said, “I only spoke after the Adana Demirspor match. I said ‘illegal and illogical’, I went to the penalty board. This is with me. It’s not relevant. The rules should be known and a decision should be made. If you went to the penalty board, I should be punished. It was said that the matches should be canceled during the pandemic period, an extraordinary decision was taken. An immediate decision was made. The decision of the administrations is important at these moments. And the relegation event was abolished. It was a compressed league, but I didn’t complain. We got a match against Sivas in the National Team. We made a decision, but it was wrong, because there was no audience. Nobody could come due to the pandemic. I went to meet the fans in Anatolia. I went there to meet the fans. You talk infrastructure, but the children are studying. Education does not allow it. Without the Ministry of National Education, this work cannot be done. After the earthquake, some teams from the same region continued, some teams withdrew. This opens the rule for discussion. Then take the teams to Istanbul. Now the past topic, we are talking. Transfers were made from the teams, and we received them. See the teams below. We killed the competition. I don’t mean to blame. When there is an emergency, it can’t be your pleasure. Everyone should know the rules. If you start violating the safety lane, everyone starts violating. The manager and the player have a quarrel. I’m asking, all clubs have the same problems. Foreign players receive money in Euros and local players in TL; the balance of the team is upset. Coaches and players have to pay their own taxes. For responsibility. In my youth, there was no education, facility, organization, opportunity, nobody wanted to be a football player, today everybody wants to be, but it was outside the elements of football. Now, the owner of football has started to be owned by those who have nothing to do with football. Try to bring former football players, former coaches and former managers to those stands, and remove the age of 65. The president of the club says to the local player, let’s make improvements, or he says, “If you buy Euros, let’s reduce it,” he said.
“WE WILL TRAIN MORE PLAYERS”
Emphasizing that he did not bring the 8 + 3 rule himself, Güneş said, “If it were mine, today’s administration would not have continued, anyway. I am also against it, but the decision was made that day. The league start planning made at the beginning of the season that day was also wrong. I did not receive Euros, nothing. The figures that were said at the time were not taken. During the last match in Sivas, during the international league period, my money was always talked about, I was brought into disrepute. The President also said, “We all want it to be fair and moral, but we make mistakes in practice. Let’s be well-intentioned, but let’s work according to the rules. A foreign player. If he can play domestic, I should be able to make a local player a foreigner, there must be a way. We are in the same boat, we need common sense, but an institution we can trust. Love will be of course, but the rules should be more ruthless. There are players from our infrastructure, but it is not enough. We will grow flowers in the garden. “We will train more players. Everyone is talking about Arda Güler. Arda is an important player, but whatever the club or president brought him in, he is the successful one.” A system that will bring this type of players. Today, no coach can pull out one Messi or one Ronaldo alone,” he said.
