The referee of the match and the VAR referee were acting in a management manner that would not negatively affect the course of the game. However, unfortunately, our friend insisted on his decision after the VAR called It made us sad. I talked to coach Turgut. He said that he saw that he had stepped on the cleats. Therefore, he said that he would remain in his decision, so I didn’t ask much about the footage. I hung up the phone saying we’ll talk again tomorrow. “I say it from the perspective of an audience. I did not examine the positions one by one. There are nearly 20 positions in a match. We first make a preliminary evaluation of each position, examine it within 24 hours, and put the referee mistakes next to the observer report. I am exempt from this evaluation, he was officiating matches at an acceptable level up to that point. Otherwise, I do not want to say that he was right or wrong in this position. I’ve never looked at them until now. “We are still in shock about the incident in 90+5 and we are talking about it.”
