Siltaş Yapı Pendikspor Coach İbrahim Üzülmez made a written statement on the club’s social media account regarding the Fenerbahçe match they played in the 29th week of the Trendyol Super League. Congratulating his players for their fight, Üzülmez said, “As Pendikspor Coach, I do not accept this perception that has been made since yesterday. My players fought until the last drop of their sweat in Kadıköy, I thank them all. I’m proud of them all. Currently, 4 of my 11 players are in the hospital for MRI. There is a possibility that Ndiaye, Murat Akça and Gökcan will not play in the Istanbulspor match I will play next week. It is perceived as if we came to Kadıköy to sleep and the referee supported us. I will not accept this. Dzeko’s eyebrow is opened, treatment is given on the field for 6 minutes. If the referee takes it out, they will have to play with 10 people. The referee does not allow this. He turns a blind eye to what Mert Hakan does and says throughout the match. It’s not right for Welinton to be kicked out. We are left with 10 people. A penalty is given for which there is no clear evidence in VAR. My team’s efforts and struggles are ignored, but if you ask, Fenerbahce will complain about the referee. Pendikspor did not lose last night, they won. In Kadıköy, Fenerbahçe finds the first clear position in the 55th minute. This is not talked about. The referee gives 11 minutes of extra time and plays for 15 minutes. He gives Fenerbahçe the time they want, this is not discussed.
Pendikspor showed last night with its game and character that it will stay in this league. “I congratulate my players and I stand behind them,” he said.
