Speaking to FBTV, Burak Kızılhan’s statements are as follows:
“The PFDK referrals, which took place on November 30, 2021, are of a size that will seriously surprise us. It is obvious how right the demand for the change of the system and the people embedded in the system is. İrfan Can is accused of falsifying under the name of ‘Attack’. it is bad faith, ignorance. Many players are punished every week if the scuffle, which is frequently seen both in Turkey and abroad, is called attack. A similar incident on the field. It was referred to PFDK with a scandalous decision. With the referral of the said representative, 2 There is no difference between scandal and the sending of Vedat Muriqi to PFDK before the season. This issue is very clear from our point of view. The fact that referrals without an example are made through Fenerbahçe angers our community. Fenerbahçe is not a trial board for meddlesome. Vedat Muriqi was not penalized. İrfan Can was also punished TFF does not deal with such non-qualified observers. should be planted. Otherwise, TFF will harm football.”
