Today football increases its level dynamically unlike Maradona’s time

1. How can you analyze Portugal- Gana match? Muntari and Kevin- Prince Boeteng were dropped out of squad in Gana and Portugal did not do its best.

Firstly, it is impossible to be a final team for Portugal with the problems of goalkeeper, defensive system. Ronaldo could only do this alone but it was not adequate for being a final team. Today football increases its level dynamically unlike Maradona’s time. Gana may be the best team in Africa but they challenge against emotional unbalances in team. The problem of Muntari and Boeteng should be considered in this manner. Their discipline understanding may be totally different.

2. Germany and USA played after the win of Portugal against Ghana. After Ronaldo scored a goal, USA breathed a sigh of relief and guaranteed the next tour. How can you analyze the match for these two countries?

Germany is the yarest team in the World Cup because it may be their last World Cup with this generation. They began to play together in 2008 Europe Championship. They are mature and have the ability of being the yarest team in the Cup.

Especially the middle position of Lahm is an opportunity for Germany because they had slower players before and it was risky but Lahm changed this situation but unfortunately our national commentators criticized him. USA continues to play in an Anglo-Saxon system and does not show individual capabilities and changes. USA is here now by its physical conditions and its pace.

3. Doubtlessly, the most significant player in Argentina is Messi… How can you analyze the performance of Messi and Argentina- Nigeria match?

Messi’s abilities are more effective than Ronaldo. It is an advantage for Argentina but due to performance and system of players, they have troubles as well and even though Messi is an advantage for forefront position, the team itself has problems. Besides, it seems that he begins to be more mature in his own playing system; he tries to be active without taking risks if he can see the result.

Cesare Prandelli offered his resignation

4. Italy said goodbye to the World Cup. Cesare Prandelli offered his resignation. Besides Italy Football Federation President Abate offered his resignation. How can you evaluate the system, players, strategies and resignations of Italy?

In my opinion, Italy Football Federation President Abate’s resignation is more meaningful than Prandelli’s resignation. Feeling such a great responsibility and trying to do his job must be a different culture’s concept. For Turkey, it is completely surprising though. It is a honorable choice…

On behalf of football:

Teams cannot be successful by playing one-way system. Both Spain and Italy showed the situation certainly to us.

Italy was pressed in the defensive and middle area especially the system in the middle area resulted in being alone for Balotelli. Pirlo faced with problems to getting help in the match and Italy should solve the problem with such a great richness in the team.

5. Algeria drew with Russia and began to next tour. Capello walked up to Cüneyt Çakır. How can you analyze the match and Capello’s movement?

Russia gave up being a football figure. They are searching for identity as well. Their genetic factors may help them but their system is a problem. The search for Hiddink and Capello did not solve the problem.

Capello’s movement is an individual reaction.

6. Lastly, how can you analyze Brazil- Cameroon match and Neymar?

Brazil feels a great responsibility and stress. Their lack of a leader player is still here but Neymar will partly solve the problem. He is great with his technique and abilities. I believe that he is the best now in the World Cup. Moreover if Neymar keeps on showing his style, he is going to be more active in the next World Cup.
