We can see what 18-year-old Emirhan İlkhan is doing in Beşiktaş. Shall we not appreciate the courage of Önder Karaveli, who was brave enough to risk his seat, to play this young man?
We have seen that by filling the teams with foreigners, it is not possible to become a European team, but the youth is disrupted. Especially when the situation of the big three is obvious, I also closely monitor the youth production in the national team infrastructure. If we evaluate the perspective of Umit National Team Coach and Junior National Teams Manager Tolunay Kafkas on young people, we will point out the infrastructure architecture of an investment that is so realistic and sunny that it does not require seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. We call this “to shine the light in their own souls on young people” and send our applause for courage and ingenuity. It is a privilege to discover the talent of our young people, whose names will be heard later, beforehand. After Tolunay Kafkas, we point to Soykan Başar, the coach of the U17 National Team. A football man who opened his eyes and his heart while watching football players in Europe.
The U17 National Team, coached by Soykan Başar, who has been working in the national teams’ infrastructure for 8 years, became the champion in the Viktor Bannikov Tournament. He passed Denmark in the first qualifying round of the European Championships in Malta and advanced to the Elite Round. The “jewel team”, consisting of football players playing in clubs from Turkey and abroad, will shape the future. Many young football players who have winged the dreams of the age of 17 are waiting to make their mark on the future of Turkish football.
