Adana Demirspor players left the pitch in their Turkish Super Lig game at Galatasaray today in protest against a penalty that were awarded to the home team. It was later that the club president issued a statement saying that the players didn't leave the pitch to protest against Galatasaray but against the referee board. The visitors who currently occupy the bottom position in the league went behind when Alvaro Morata scored a penalty in the 12 minute of the game but continued playing until when the club manager signalled to them to leave the pitch.
The ball is now in the court of the Turkish football FA to address the issue and punish any party that deserves to be punished.
The most talked about non-football referees or Var referees every week. Many teams claim that they were treated unfairly, but never want justice. A foreigner came, but that was not a solution either.
In the last incident, Adana Demirspor Team was 100% right, but if their score had been close to the relegation zone, they would never have withdrawn from the field. Now they will be defeated by default and perhaps other punishments will follow.
This only went down as a black mark in the history of Turkish Football.
Secondly, most of the football players are incredibly fake. When he comes to the penalty area, he throws himself to the ground to receive a penalty at the slightest contact or contact move. Mertens is the biggest example of this. He also threw himself and received a penalty. No one talked about Mertens' thieving attitude. If the same situation were to happen in the Premier League, the audience would react even if it was their own player, and that player would never make the same move again, but unfortunately it is not like that in Turkey. The one who does it always gets away with it. Turkish League is not in the top 10 of European leagues. The teams are not successful in Europe anyway. This is the biggest measure for me.
