2. Illusionist

An illusion is a construct based on illusion. It is the misjudgment of the impressions of a real object on the senses.

The illusionist is a master of this craft.

All social, political, economic and cultural changes experienced by humans enable the individual to make sense of the visual world through perception and sensations towards objects, which leads to socialization and evolution.

Perception is a subjective event that is affected by the image obtained from the object, on the one hand, and the thought contents and acquired experience, on the other hand.

∗∗∗

Perception manipulation, on the other hand, involves a direct intervention in this subjective evaluation. It involves creating the desired environment for the intended purpose by persuading the target audience through a desired goal and idea.

These manipulations are almost illusions.

Yes, even though the "pleasure" that an unreal show can provide can cause temporary happiness for people, the realities that one faces when the show is over open the door to discussion that the content of the show is a manipulation.

Perception manipulation creates an illusion. The impact of these actions on the target audience leads to a misjudgment of the facts.

The initial enthusiasm and expectation ends with the statement "we have been deceived".

After Hasan Arat 's rant, Serdal Adalı continues the illusion where Arat left off. Those who follow know I wrote this article about Hasan Arat, and it will be a continuation of Adalı's, with only minor changes. There's no need to get too worked up, because BJK is experiencing a bit of déjà vu.

When Arat said, "We haven't yet solved the football team's problems. These aren't problems that can be solved in a day or two. Our interventions haven't yielded any results yet. This is a difficult period in every respect. It's a time when we need to work hard, both financially and spiritually. Let's support Beşiktaş "... How different is that from Serdal Adalı's statements?

Let's continue the illusion here: "Beşiktaş's reality is a situation where the debt burden has increased by another 4 billion lira, and transfer fees have all been postponed until May 2025. Beşiktaş's total debt has increased by 45 percent in one year. We see a €50 million deficit by the end of May and a second €50 million deficit by the end of December. We're talking about €100 million," he said.

Abraham €43 million, Orkun €55 million, Ndidi €24 million, Cerny €20 million, Djola €12 million, Johan €5 million for 1 year, Taylan €6 million, Toure €5 million for 1 year, Rıdvan €3 million, Jurasek €1.5 million for 1 year, Gökhan €1.5 million. Total: €176 million. If we add two Latin kids to that for €15 million, it makes €191 million. Serdal Adalı has spent 9 billion 252 million TL locally.

In the first nine months, Arat was spent on transfer fees, wages, agent commissions, bonuses, signing bonuses, and taxes, totaling approximately 120-130 million euros. In other words, 6.3 billion Turkish Lira.

The difference between the statements made by both presidents at the beginning of their term and the statements made a few months later is not a contradiction but an admission of an illusion.

While Arat made 3 coaching changes in the first 4 months, Adalı is currently at 2…

Considering that the total cost of participation and contributions to the final in the Champions League, excluding the points to be earned, is 63.5 million euros, and that the total cost of the Europa League is equivalent to 14.03 million euros, it follows that Serdal Adalı is responsible for the outcome of transfers that have no contribution other than prestige and emotional impact, without a champion.

Abraham's transfer as a rival to Osimhen is an illusion. Presenting him as a savior and imbuing him with meaning, while Orkun's standard and limited capabilities are, is an illusion. Signing Jurasek instead of Masuaku is an illusion, and despite only targeting three or four players and failing to acquire players of quality to complement the tactical setup around them, the championship goal is an illusion. In the 11th week of the league, BJK has 17 points and Galatasaray has 29.

And the basis of all these organizations is perception.

Hasan Arat has exhausted his ability to protect himself by creating an illusion through perception—by manipulating all kinds of information through the illusion of knowledge within the mental process—by presenting what doesn't exist as if it does. Serdal Adalı can no longer manage this process with the same desk-bound men who protect the president, not Beşiktaş, at congresses.

∗∗∗

Serdal Adalı's claim that "our rivals only managed to reach this level in 3-4 years" is an illusion. The reality is that Galatasaray finished 13th in the league, changed coaching, severed ties with the Ahmet Bulut-Mendes duo, and signed four key players, winning the championship the same year. Adalı's claim that it took 3-4 years is an illusion. However, the money he will spend in 3-4 years and the club's debt reaching 40 billion Turkish Lira are real.

This manipulation only works until the ball crosses the line. When the ball doesn't cross the line, it becomes inevitable to debate the facts. Look, even the Polish President couldn't save Hasan Arat...
