Former TFF Manager Selim Soydan made striking criticisms while evaluating the latest situation of the nationals to Sabah.
“There is an important derby at the weekend. Beşiktaş will host Fenerbahçe. Who do you think will win the match? Why?”
Teams that take on a completely different identity when both teams get the support of the audience in an aggressive manner in the home field, but whose game plan is disrupted as the goal is delayed against the equal teams… Beşiktaş is more advantageous with the difference of the audience. However, if Fenerbahçe gets the gas of Beşiktaş and the stands with an early goal, we can watch a very different match.
“Wouldn’t they pay any price?”
“The loss of the National Team to the Faroe Islands was an event. Is this really a reactionary result?”
What happened to us; A disaster that will go into the Guinness Book of Records. But unfortunately, those who manage Turkish football are not aware of this. defeated France 2-0, Russia 3-2, Netherlands 4-2, Norway 3-0; Together with Şenol Güneş, we left a National Team that drew 3-3 with Croatia and Germany.
Now they pretend that these successes were not won 2 years ago, and they are making a “We took over the wreckage” literature. But the Turkish football public will not eat it. After a few bad results in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, we did not avoid paying the price and left the post. Now I ask you; Will those who created this infamous painting pay no price?
“DIGGING AND HOWING WORKS…”
“TFF National Teams Officer Hamit Altıntop’s speech that slammed the table received a great reaction. You also performed this task. You know Hamit Altıntop very well. What is your comment on this speech?”
I know my brother Hamit well, we were on the same board of directors. While we were going to the 2020 European Championship, he was busy digging behind Şenol Güneş and the management. As far as I can see, the digging and shovel business has not gone as well as he had hoped.
“LIKE THEY WOULD BROUGHT JESUS OR GUARDIOLA TO THE TEAM”
“Let’s also come to the coach Stefan Kuntz. Do you really think he should be fired? Should Turkey constantly change coaches?”
Do you know what I burn the most? Those who could not endure for Şenol Güneş to recuperate the team and carry the National Team to the play-offs for 2 matches, as if they were going to put Jorge Jesus or Guardiola on duty, they found Kuntz. They also knitted the biggest stocking on our heads. Those who said “my system is my system” for Kuntz did not support Şenol Güneş 1/10 of that.
“EVERY PLAYER THINK ABOUT THE NATIONAL TEAM”
“You have been with the football players all the time, you have spent camps. If a football player plays a game without any claims, can he not perform by thinking of the league?”
Any player wearing the Turkish National Team jersey can never have any other thought than to win. Those who think the opposite are the people who see the soccer ball and take it to the police station, mistaking it for a bomb, and not passing by the football field or locker rooms.
