At the press conference held at Cengiz Aydoğan Facilities, Çavuşoğlu stated that the Fenerbahçe-Alanyaspor match has been talked about the most in Turkey since Sunday, February 11, due to the red cards not given and the penalty decision.
“We watched the match, but we did not make a statement in the heat of the moment.” Çavuşoğlu said, “I am not someone who always makes statements. All clubs have been damaged by referee mistakes. But in the last Fenerbahçe match we played, referee mistakes were directly reflected in the result. In the first half, there was a possibility that the opposing team would go to the dressing room with 9 or 10 people. At the beginning of the second half, too. “The whole public said that a penalty was given that did not exist.” he said.
Arguing that the referee’s mistakes in the match directly reflected on Alanyaspor, Çavuşoğlu claimed that penalties and red cards were ignored not only in this match but also in the Pendikspor, MKE Ankaragücü and Gaziantep FK matches.
Emphasizing that referee mistakes are a part of football and that they may happen in the future, Çavuşoğlu said, “I have never made any comments about the referees, and I never will. Because they will make mistakes too. But the mistakes in this match were in front of the referees’ eyes. Therefore, the penalty given and the two red cards not given.” “It has been expressed publicly. I hope our referees will be more careful in the future.” he said.
“ALANYASPOR IS AN HONORABLE, HONORABLE CLUB”
Çavuşoğlu also reacted to the “incentive bonus” rumors that were recently put forward on social media about the Fenerbahçe match.
Stating that no one would dare to come to them with such an offer, Çavuşoğlu said:
“Alanyaspor is an honorable, honorable club. Everyone knows this. No one can approach us like that. We also play football. We do not need anything. Thank God, this club is very well managed. This club does not need anything from anyone. . This club is in a position to solve everything with its own management. That’s why we are not people who pay much attention to what random and uncertain people talk about. We do not have the time to deal with them, to be face to face with them. We are just doing our job. We are trying to make a district team Super Super League. “We are calculating how we can survive in the league, how we can stay in this league. We will do this as long as we are here.”
ADANA DEMİRSPOR MATCH
Reminding that they will play an important league match at home with Adana Demirspor on Sunday, February 18, Çavuşoğlu said, “We will play with a serious and strong team. The only thing our fans, Alanya, need to do is to come to the stands and support Alanyaspor. Do not leave our Alanyaspor alone. Else.” There is no Alanyaspor. Alanya and Alanyaspor belong to all of us. Let’s run this business in unity. I hope we will be in better places together. But if you look at it from a distance, just because the club management is managing this business, no one has a say, I’m sorry. That’s why let’s run it together, let’s manage it together, let’s be in the stands together, let’s support Alanyaspor together.” made his assessment.
