Visualforce: calling method as an action inside conditional statement

Question

This is working code, saying that Telemarketing users are routed to a standard New Event page, while other users are redirected to MyPage:

action="{!if($Profile.Name !='Telemarketing', urlFor($Page.MyPage), urlFor($Action.Event.NewEvent, null, null, true))}"/>

Instead of redirecting to MyPage, I have to call a method inside a controller. How do I do that?

This is what I am trying to do:

action="{!if($Profile.Name !='Telemarketing', {!redirect}, urlFor($Action.Event.NewEvent, null, null, true))}"/>

This code is not working. I am trying to call redirect method inside a controller.

Update1. Full code, not working:

<apex:page standardController="Event" extensions="CTRL_EventRedirect" 
       action="{!if($Profile.Name !='Telemarketing', 
                    redirect, 
                    urlFor($Action.Event.NewEvent, null, null, true))}"/>

Getting Save error: Unknown property 'EventStandardController.redirect' Also, I get error if I use redirect() instead of redirect

Update2. Controller code:

public with sharing class CTRL_EventRedirect{     
    public PageReference redirect(){
        //method body
    }
}

Update3. I found a workaround, but instead of finding a solution for Visualforce, I moved a logic to a controller.

Here's the page:

<apex:page standardController="Event" extensions="CTRL_EventRedirect" action="{!redirectByProfile}"/>

And the controller logic:

public PageReference redirectByProfile()
{   
        User currentUser = DAL_User.getCurrentUser();
        Profile telemarketingProfile = DAL_User.getTelemarketingProfile();
        if (currentUser.ProfileId == telemarketingProfile.Id)
        {           
            Schema.DescribeSObjectResult dsr = Event.SObjectType.getDescribe();
            PageReference createEventPage = new PageReference('/' + dsr.getKeyPrefix() + '/e');
            createEventPage.getParameters().put('nooverride', '1');
            return createEventPage;
        }
        else    
            return redirect();              

}

Use below,

   <apex:commandButton action="{!redirect}" rendered="{!$Profile.Name !='Telemarketing'}"/>

 <apex:commandButton action="{!urlFor($Action.Event.NewEvent, null, null, true)}" rendered="{!$Profile.Name =='Telemarketing'}"/>
