In the 16th week of Trendyol Super League, Başakşehir lost 3-1 away to Fenerbahçe. After the match, Başakşehir President Göksel Gümüşdağ made important statements.
HERE ARE GÖKSEL GÜMÜZDAĞ’S STATEMENTS
“I do not approve of Ba’s action. It is a direct red card. I do not accept such an attitude from a player from Başakşehir. I will give the necessary punishment. It is a fast-paced match, a match that Fenerbahçe has to win and we have to get points. 3 days before Eyüp, Beşiktaş 3 days before the match, 3 days before this match. We played a high tempo match against Heidenheim. Ömer Ali, Serdar, Keny, Muhammet… Today we played with our third goalkeeper. Even though 5 players were injured, we played well. Our goal is to beat Brugge and qualify for the playoffs. There was no chance of this match happening on Monday, because there is a match on Thursday. Points in Europe are as important as national team points.
We played with 10 people for 60 minutes. The children showed their best fight. 5 injured, 3 days apart, the match is not easy.
I haven’t made a statement since the beginning of the season. We will make the necessary statement (about the referees) when the season is over. The tension between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray does not contribute to football, it does not contribute to brand value. Only Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş do not play ball in Turkish football. Let’s not talk day and night about Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş. Referees make mistakes not only in these matches but also in other matches. When we look at the match, we are preparing a 17-18 year old goalkeeper for the national team. In this stadium, they give a yellow card at 60 minutes, in our stadium they give it at 90 + 3. Especially 17-18 year old children need to be tolerated. A child preparing for the national team. “Performances have not been good since the beginning of the season.”
