Compared to twenty years ago there has been a gigantic improvement in your country. I think that western european coaches have been, and are, very influential. They have introduced western european ways of playing. There has been a Turkish type of game and at that time it was easy for the Germans, the Dutch, the English to win. A new type of Turkish game will probably never come, because there's no more room anymore for a new type. Even the Holland game is now regarded as naive.
