Ankaragücü reagiert auf PFDK – Last-Minute-Sportnachrichten
Hüseyin Aytekin, board member and spokesperson of the MKE Ankaragücü Club, responded to the transfer of his player Atakan Çankaya to PFDK due to the joy he felt after scoring a goal in their match against Çaykur Rizespor in the Trendyol Super League draw.
In his statement, Hüseyin Aytekin reminded that they played a very critical match against Çaykur Rizespor and left the field with a 2-2 draw with the goal scored in the last minute, emphasizing the importance of the point obtained.
Aytekin emphasized that Çaykur Rizespor has only lost three times this season and said: „It was very important to come back here with one or more points. We played a very superior game, especially in the second half. Even though we scored a draw in the last minute, I can say that we actually played a game that deserved to win.“ We will face Alanyaspor in front of our fans on Friday. We want to win and escape the mathematical calculations in the league. Our special request to our fans is to support us until the final whistle. Our coach Emre Belözoğlu and our players have full confidence in the cup, but our main goal will be the match against Alanyaspor.“
Aytekin stated that this season contains many different stories for MKE Ankaragücü, and explained that Atakan Çankaya’s transfer to PFDK is the latest example of this: „Football, from the players to the fans, from the technical staff to the managers, contains pressure. We experienced the last example in the Çaykur Rizespor match. Our footballer, who experienced the joy and excitement of scoring the goal in the last second, was referred to the PFDK because ‘he was seen saying something, but what he said could not be understood due to the dense crowd’ and many players said it at the end of each game. We were surprised by the recommendation of our player who felt a similar joy as himself.“
„Thought-provoking for our football“
Aytekin recalled previous examples and added the following opinions: „Although his previous action was confirmed by the cameras of the broadcaster, we have the rejection responses from PFDK in our records for the players of the opposing team. We will meticulously follow the process. I don’t believe that our footballer will be punished by PFDK at all. But in my opinion, the reaction of the opposing team’s coach to the game ‚With the final meeting, there is a high probability that such a transfer has taken place. This is thought-provoking for our football.'“
Aytekin explained that they are in a critical phase, where they will face Corendon Alanyaspor in the league and then Beşiktaş in the semi-final second leg of the Ziraat Turkish Cup: „As a club, it is our expectation to maintain equal competition conditions for all clubs in these critical matches.“
