After Croatia scored, I saw players lying on the pitch and I told Arda to get the ball out of the goal and start again. I wasn't giving up. We could have lost but there were things we could do about it. I always say there is much more we can do as a country of 70 million people and there is more success we can achieve. We seem to come back from the dead. We always do the hard thing, not the easy thing, which shows how good my team are. When you have footballers like this, you just don't lose.
This is the key to our success.
I ve considered Terim as a mediocre and little too arrogant of a coach due to his player selections and formations even though he is without a question the most successful coach in Turkish football history. I still dont believe he is an elite tactian or a football mind by any means but he is as great a motivator in any sport and i have a great respect for him in that regard.
