Reaction from Huseyin Yucel to Arda Kardesler at Besiktas!

The echoes of the Besiktas-Galatasaray derby, played in the 10th week of the Super Lig, continue. Besiktas’s Vice President Huseyin Yucel made statements about the derby that are sure to stir discussion.

Huseyin Yucel spoke to Gündem Besiktas and shared notable comments about referee Arda Kardesler. His remarks were as follows: “We had a very poor performance in the match against Galatasaray. Although the match itself wasn’t that bad, the referee’s management was disastrous. Our problems didn’t end there. At the end of the match, there was a situation involving our brother Sezgin, who was taken inside due to a small altercation. We really haven’t been able to sleep for the past 2-3 days. Yesterday, we received the good news that Sezgin has been released. He will be tried without detention. But of course, our anger towards Arda Kardesler hasn’t subsided. Before the match, I hoped for an environment where the referee wouldn’t affect the outcome in any way, but we faced the opposite. We encountered a referee management that completely affected the match. However, there is always a silver lining. Right now, the entire community, from the Besiktas board of directors to its committees, and its supporters, is united.”

‘WE MET WITH THE TFF PRESIDENT’

“We met with the TFF President in Ankara. We discussed the Galatasaray match. He is aware of how the events unfolded and promised that necessary actions will be taken. There have been reports that Arda Kardesler will not officiate any matches until the end of the first half, but that is not enough; we will pursue this until the end. I have confidence in the TFF.”
