Today, Tuesday, Fenerbahçe objected to the transfer of its player, Samet Akaydin, to the Disciplinary Committee of the Turkish Football Federation, for spitting on Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) while the latter was prostrating on the field after scoring a goal in the match that his team Trabzonspor lost in the Turkish Football League.
Pictures and video clips on social media showed Akaidin spitting towards Trezeguet, who scored his team’s only goal ten minutes from the end, in the match that ended with Fenerbahce’s 3-1 victory last Thursday.
“The legal decision of the Turkish Football Federation cannot be accepted,” Fenerbahce said in a statement on Twitter.
“It is a historic event that the Turkish Football Federation decided to refer our player Samet Akaydin to the Disciplinary Committee… It is clearly proven that he did nothing by going back to the video footage. This is scandalous.
“This incident was not included in the (referee’s) match report and is a slander by the public, but it clarifies the Turkish Football Federation’s view of Fenerbahce.
“The club calls on every official working under the umbrella of the Turkish Federation, especially in the Disciplinary Committee, which signed this decision, to resolve the matter immediately.”
Akaydin denied committing the alleged act.
“I condemn the immoral allegations by manipulating my behavior, and this is behavior that happens with athletes,” Akaydin wrote on Twitter earlier.
Trabzon said on his Facebook account after the incident, “This is disgusting. We strongly condemn the inhuman act against our player Trezeguet during the Fenerbahce match on May 18.”
“It is disgusting that Fenerbahçe’s Samet Akaydin spat on our player while he was prostrating in celebration of the goal,” he added.
Trabzon occupies sixth place in the league and has 51 points, and Fenerbahce comes in second place, five points away from leaders Galatasaray.
