TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi made statements on TRT Spor. Speaking about the foreign border, Büyükekşi also talked about the points reaction of Beşiktaş, the future of Stefan Kuntz, the number of teams in the Super League next season and the announcement of VAR records. Here are Mehmet Büyükekşi’s statements…
“OUR FIRST PROPOSAL WAS 7+4”
“Our initial proposal was 7+4, but they wanted to discuss it more. We wanted the same conditions (8+3) to continue temporarily. What will be done with a 5-year plan for the next 2024-2025. But the target is we How can we train more players from our own resources?
“BEŞİKTAŞ’S REQUEST IS DAMAGE TO MIND”
“A team comes out and says, ‘Other teams got 6 points, I got 1 point. Cancel them all.’ Such a thing makes no sense, it makes no sense. Even if we took such a decision, the champion was still another team. “How right is it that the president, vice presidents, managers, coaches make a statement every day without getting tired of it? On the one hand, you will say it is illegal, it damages the brand value of the league. All our clubs have to oppose it. It is something that is practiced constantly. A few teams are looking forward to the next year.” “We don’t have any facilities, we don’t have a field, they applied to the TFF. They want their status to be frozen for another year. We will look into that as well.”
“AFTER THAT, EXISTING RECORDS WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCED”
“The presidents of both clubs called for the public to have the VAR records released. VAR records had never been released before. There was such an atmosphere that there is something hidden here. I watched the VAR records, I listened to the VAR records, in fact, it is something that is done for and against any club. No. That’s why we talked to our teacher Sabri Çelik and decided to publish it. The red card position, the VAR referee calls the referee, and the referee shows a yellow card. VAR records can only be disclosed for educational purposes. We also explained it to the public for once. We explained that. We had that referee dismissed as well. The other referee was also suspended for a certain period of time. What we really focus on here is that there is goodwill, if there is bad intention, the results will be different. We said that it was announced for once. It will not happen again.”
“SUPER LEAGUE NEXT SEASON WILL BE 20 TEAMS”
“Next season, there will be 20 teams in the Super League. This year, each team was going by a week. It won’t happen next year. It’s an issue on our agenda, will we drop to 18 teams again or will we stay in 20 teams? There are many factors. We haven’t decided yet. League It will end, then there is the Turkish Cup final, then we have the congress. After that, we will take the decisions.”
“WE WILL CONTINUE WITH KUNTZ”
“We will continue on the road with our teacher Stefan Kuntz. These results are of course very important. Sometimes there is something, a person writes his own destiny. This will also be valid. The result of the 2 matches is very important. We will go to the congress after it. About the congress, with the favor of many teams. We have met. 6-7 federation presidents also support us. We say good luck about us. Our goal is to bring a new perspective to Turkish football, to say new things.”
