HE MANAGED THE PROCESS BADLY
Responding to Halil Umut Meler’s statement that “Emre Belözoğlu provoked the events”, the young coach said, “What made him do that interview against me? If the people who did not like him gathered together, he could only do so much damage to himself. He gave himself away. My feelings towards him and the other referees “The interview I gave years ago was with the excitement of the match. Sometimes you become a slave to what you say. He can go to the club president who made him do this interview and tell him how difficult he put himself. He managed the process very badly. I also have a family. He targeted me on the front page of the newspaper.” used.
SEÇİL SPOKE ABOUT ERZAN’S FUND: I THOUGHT IT AS A BANKING TRANSACTION
Emre Belözoğlu also spoke for the first time about the ‘Seçil Erzan’ process that was brought to court. Belözoğlu said, “I thought it was a banking transaction and that I was making an investment. When we realized that it was something other than that, we went to court.

The date promised to us had not even arrived… There are documents with the signatures of the bank manager and his assistant. “Legal processes are progressing. I met with Seçil Erzan face to face once. I did not know her before making the investment. There is a 1-month process in total,” he said.
WE ARE VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Emre Belözoğlu responded to Erol Bulut’s claim that ‘The transfers I wanted were not made in Fenerbahçe’ by saying, “Transfers are made together. Those statements are binding on him. I will never make a negative statement about him. We are very different people. As a coach, I will not let in a player I do not want.” .
I WAS A TEACHER FOR 10 WEEKS
“I was not treated unfairly when I was a coach at Fenerbahçe. If I had been a champion, I could have continued. If we had beaten Sivasspor, we would have become champions. But it would have been strange for me to continue. After all, I was a coach for 10 weeks. We decided together with Ali Koç. I do not think it was unfair. “
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST?
In his past interview, Emre Belözoğlu said, “I have never seen a referee laugh while I was getting kicked in my life. I will never forget Halil Umut Meler throughout my life.
