Serdal Adalı Said He Wants a Foreign VAR Official for the September 6 Derby Against Fenerbahçe, Provided the Rival Club Agrees in Türkiye

His comments came a day after the black-and-white team's complaints about refereeing decisions in the Alanyaspor-Beşiktaş match, when Adalı visited the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) headquarters in Riva. Following the meeting, Adalı targeted refereeing board (MHK) chief Ferhat Gündoğdu, saying: "The TFF can't do anything about the MHK president. They can't do anything about this man.

I will request an appointment and present this situation to our President." Adalı claimed there was intent in referee assignments, citing a past cup match: "After what we experienced last season, he specifically assigned Adnan Deniz Kayatepe to our match, I have no doubt; he didn't do it in good faith. We've become a laughingstock to the world now. Something that doesn't belong in football, like the slap incident, is happening.

The MHK president doesn't understand the subject, he just hands over the list in front of him. They are truly very ill-intentioned. At least 35 presidents called; there are big scandals in the lower leagues too." He added: "For three days we've been trying to fix the psychology of Trossard, who was slapped.

I will probably be punished. The essence of my visit was the bad management and the fact that the VAR colleague didn't see this slap incident. I can't find anything to say.

On the derby, Adalı said: "If Fenerbahçe also says 'yes, we have a request for a foreign VAR in the derby. At least we won't experience last week's disgrace.
