Hello everyone, I’m the Turkey U21 national coach, and I’d like to address a small but recurring issue — hopefully with a bit of humor so it doesn’t sound too heavy.
It seems that one of my best big men was bought by a experienced Serbian coach. Unfortunately, since his transfer, the player has been making extra shift every week so that his teammates do not get tired. His game shape has stayed low, and his development has stalled.
I’ve sent a private message, but apparently my note is still travelling through cyberspace. So I thought I’d cry here, in case the coach (or someone who knows him) might gently remind him that Bolat needs a little love and attention. As a reminder, we do not play before final, if the motivation is this.
We all invest time in developing our young players, and it’s always disappointing when a talent is left to collect dust instead of shine. I’d truly appreciate any effort to give this guy the attention he deserves.
This is just a kind reminder, not an accusation to the U-21 staff or your community. I just feel sad because it's annoying to experience the same thing two seasons in a row. I hope nobody feels offended after this message, thanks for your understanding.
I wish you good luck in the tournament.
