In Turkish Super League Matchday 2, Beşiktaş lost 0-1 to Alanyaspor. During the match, several controversial decisions by referee Adnan Deniz Kayatepe drew criticism from Beşiktaş. After the match, Nihat Kahveci, a former Turkish international player and current football commentator, heavily criticized the referee's performance.

Although Beşiktaş created several chances during the match, they ultimately failed to score, while Alanyaspor scored the only goal. In his commentary, Nihat acknowledged that while Beşiktaş's own performance had issues, the referee's handling of several controversial incidents on the pitch was also questionable.

Nihat specifically mentioned an incident involving Alanyaspor center-back Aliti, who fouled Beşiktaş player Trossard, describing the action as a "UFC-style punch".

Nihat said: "Look, everything has been going well recently, the fans are happy, the team hadn't conceded in official matches before this, and Europa League qualification was largely secured. I was hoping Beşiktaş would play better today."

"Beşiktaş did play poorly today, but the referee should make correct decisions for what happens on the pitch. Come on! I personally like UFC. If there's a UFC-style slap, a UFC-style punch in a football match, and the head referee doesn't see it, the linesman doesn't see it, and VAR doesn't intervene, then with all respect, they shouldn't be doing this job!"

He continued: "Every year we discuss poor refereeing, and this season's start could be considered one of the worst in recent years."

Nihat Calls on Beşiktaş President: Speak Out!

Regarding this controversial decision, Nihat also directly called on Beşiktaş president Serdar Adalı to demand that the club publicly state their position.

He said: "President Serdar, speak out! The Beşiktaş fans are waiting now. If something like this happens, the president must stand up and speak!"

"Trossard himself said, 'He hit me in the face.' Yes, he did hit him. The president, management, or whoever is responsible for this at the club needs to come out and address it. The fans are waiting, because something like this clearly needs to be discussed."

Nihat: Beşiktaş Still Need to Sign a Center-Back, Right Winger, and Midfielder

Beyond the refereeing issues, Nihat also analyzed Beşiktaş's squad. He believes this loss should be a learning opportunity for the team, and that the club still needs to strengthen several positions.

Nihat stated: "Beşiktaş lost today, and if they can learn from this match, it will actually be good for the team's future."

He pointed out that the team needs to bring in a player who can compete with Nübel or serve as his backup, and that the midfield also needs more depth.

"We've always said that many players need backup options. We've mentioned it before, but the key is whether anyone listens."

Nihat emphasized that he doesn't only criticize Beşiktaş after a loss: "I also criticized Galatasaray when they won 4-0; I also criticized Fenerbahçe when they won 4-0. I do this because I want them to improve."

He also referenced Beşiktaş's previous defensive performance: "When the team played well and didn't concede, I said that Beşiktaş would concede sooner or later. Nübel was outstanding, and the combination of Djalo and Emirhan played well, with Nübel making many crucial one-on-one saves."

"If we overlook the matches against Eyüpspor and Žalgiris, we already said that Beşiktaş would give opponents chances and would concede sooner or later. If they had conceded two goals today, wouldn't we ask 'why so many goals?' These issues should be anticipated beforehand."

Therefore, Nihat concluded by restating: "So I'm saying now, Beşiktaş still need to sign a center-back, midfielder, and right winger."

Beşiktaş Releases Official Statement

Following what they consider unfair referee decisions, Beşiktaş also issued an official response.

Beşiktaş Football Club released a statement saying:

The refereeing performance in our match against Çorum Alanyaspor has been a shameful chapter in Turkish refereeing history.

Last year, in the Turkish Cup semi-final, a controversial decision by Adnan Deniz Kayatepe, the "favorite" of the Central Refereeing Committee chairman of the Turkish Football Federation, is still fresh in our memory. And this time, he has added yet another dark chapter to his "black history," as if telling everyone: "Where did we leave off?"

The opposing player slapped Trossard in front of the whole world. However, head referee Adnan Deniz Kayatepe did not see this. Meanwhile, Bülent Birincioğlu, sitting in the VAR room, remained silent.

And then what? Trossard broke free from the opposing player in a physical challenge and scored a goal. Because of the opposing player's dramatic fall, Adnan Deniz Kayatepe disallowed the goal.

Vlahović was grabbed by the collar and pulled down by an opposing player while attempting to enter the penalty area, but Kayatepe once again ignored this clear foul.

We do not want to see referees with malicious tendencies like Adnan Deniz Kayatepe and Bülent Birincioğlu in our future matches.

We are not seeking any advantage or demanding special treatment. All we ask for is fair, honest, and equal refereeing.

Until this unjust system changes, we will firmly continue to fight for our legitimate interests.
