Beşiktaş President Ahmet Nur Çebi made a statement before the Galatasaray derby to be played in the 9th week of the Trendyol Super League. Çebi stated that there may have been an ulterior motive in the appointment of the referee for the match.
Here are those explanations…
Our President Ahmet Nur Çebi made a statement about the appointment of Halil Umut Meler to the match that our Football A Team will play against Galatasaray in the Trendyol Super League:
“Considering the form graphics for the Galatasaray – Beşiktaş match, there was an expectation in the public that Ali Şansalan would be appointed by artificial intelligence.
Having received information that Ali Şansalan would be assigned to the match, Galatasaray Sports Club board member Erden Timur deliberately brought Şansalan to the agenda for the assignment of Halil Umut Meler.
There may be an ulterior motive in Halil Umut Meler’s appointment for the match. We hope Halil Umut Meler will not become a tool for such a thing.
There is a flow of information from the Federation to Galatasaray. It cannot be a coincidence that Erden Timur used Ali Şansalan’s name when there was nothing there.
When Halil Umut Meler blows the final whistle of the match, we will understand whether there is ulterior motive in this appointment. We hope Meler was not appointed to this match as part of another plan. “We expect him to manage the derby fairly and show that he is not part of any plan.”
