TPFD President and former national football player Saffet Akyüz made statements to TGRT News Sports Announcer Hakan Dede’s ‘Top Sende’ program. Stating that it was wrong for Galatasaray President Burak Elmas and his management to send Fatih Terim, Akyüz said, “All of the big teams start with the aim of championship. Galatasaray Club is also a team that is always a candidate for the championship. The team that has been established is a promising team. In terms of value, it came with great competition.The element of Fatih Terim was important here.
That’s why we set out together and did the necessary conditions occur in the middle of the road? Of course, in terms of points, but since this team is vision and promising team, when it is looked at by the coach, there is a big problem. Because you become the president with a value that I created, a sudden separation of ways without asking me, no matter who this is, even if it is between father and son, there is a problem and can lead to a gap.
Therefore, when we look at the process from Galatasaray’s point of view, it is very difficult, especially in terms of the teacher. While making a decision, when sending someone, the teacher you will take instead of him is also very important. Does he have that vision? Is Galatasaray a coach that reflects on its goals? When you look at the current 4-game period, Torrent is a coach, maybe he will do good things. But Fatih Terim was a character who acted outside of a coach, managed the team, acted like the president, took the responsibility on the president, silenced the media, gave direction and raised the fans.
When you look at the past history, 70 percent of all successes have Fatih Terim. It wasn’t very stylish. As far as we can see, the man who will replace him does not have these features. He can only make statements. I saw this in the 4 game period. Torrent you know Guardiola’s assistant; Even if Guardiola came, he could not fix Galatasaray right now,” he said.
