SERGEN YALCIN STATEMENT FROM TFF: NEWS ARE UNREALISTIC

The Turkish Football Federation officials published a very clear official denial text upon the unfounded news circulating in recent sports media, especially finding a wide place in the Hürriyet newspaper. The federation immediately intervened in the situation upon these fake interviews, presented as if they came from the front of A National Team Manager Sergen Yalçın, being a complete product of imagination regarding the future of the national team and misleading the public. In the official statement made, it was emphasized with total transparency that the experienced technical man Sergen Yalçın definitively did not give any special interview, statement, or remark to any institution, newspaper, television channel, or person apart from the magnificent signing ceremony realized at the headquarters of the Turkish Football Federation located in Riva. The federation officials, stating that these unfounded expressions circulating in the press are completely unrealistic, reminded by underlining that the fans and the sports public should only respect the informations made from official channels. The officials stated that these fake news produced at the desk by using the name of the successful technical director Sergen Yalçın in this highly critical period gave a massive damage to Turkish football, and strongly invited the press to act more responsibly. Sergen Yalçın has given all his concentration solely to the pitch, tactical works, and upcoming critical tournaments since the first day he took over the position. It is publicly known that the experienced trainer consciously put a distance between the media and himself to stay away from polemics and only increase the performance. The Turkish Football Federation emphasized once again that any word other than the statements uttered in the signing ceremony in Riva must be considered completely invalid. This definitive denial succeeded in eliminating the artificial agenda created around the team completely.
