Portuguese star Rafa Silva, who was expected to take the field in Beşiktaş, shocked the technical team and management once again.
While Rafa Silva, who did not wear the black and white jersey after the Beşiktaş Fenerbahçe derby, was expected to return to the team, the crisis moved to a new dimension.
The MRI results of the Portuguese player, who wanted to leave the team, but this time used his back pain as an excuse after the management announced that he would not be allowed to leave without a transfer, also came back clear, and Rafa started to train after the club’s FIFA threat.
The 31-year-old football player, who did not play in the Gaziantep match due to lack of training, was not taken to Trabzon because he said he was not ready and did not want to be in the squad. While Kartal started preparations for the Rizespor match yesterday after a day’s leave, Rafa gave another shock to the team by saying that he would not play in the double-goal match.

SERDAL ADALI: “YOU DISAPPOINTED EVERYONE”
While Rafa said “Forget me” in training, he said that he would train until the end of the half but would not play in the matches in order to avoid being punished by FIFA. It was learned that Rafa also said that he would not comply with Sergen Yalçın’s work schedule.
Following these developments, President Serdal Adalı and Murat Kılıç, Kaan Kasacı and Melih Aydoğdu from the football committee had a meeting with Rafa after training.
Adalı gave a historical response to the player who said, “I don’t want to play in Türkiye. Let me go”:
“Both Solskjaer and Sergen Yalçın built the team’s game system through you. But you disappointed everyone. Nobody is bigger than Beşiktaş. Call your manager and let’s talk. You can’t say you want to leave by getting both signing money and transfer money. I won’t allow it.”
