found though. where the camp we were both too tired to sleep so we took turns to stare out the window at. the border. and he began to speak he said son i made a liar out of reading people's faces knowing what the cards were by the way they feel the iraqis don't mind saying i can see you're out of. sync. with different languages we fight with different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of the press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters d. w. made for minds. in the heart of climate change.

people. what ideas do they have of their future. g.w. dot com they can make a city in the making again. click it or. look

songs. don't play through and asia means europe. the place where football is like a bridge and so close. you just melt the ball out of it all the colors this is all involved in mosul things where they really live life through football. more than 80000000 people turkey's population is among the youngest in year old the country has big clubs and then amazing talent yet on the big stage they haven't been successful they. ever reported numbers teams

the he's thrown from paris on there are managing down to earth and we are in istanbul to dive into turkey is and why bring football culture. to meets past few rules and the new generation. to learn more about politics and patriotism. just one question i can't get out of my head why is turkey not a football powerhouse. coming our way through. one holds them back when they finally catch up. war. karo might be turkey's capital but when it comes to football istanbul is the

place to be. the clubs from istanbul have dominated turkish football for decades. they have the largest fan base of the country so what's it like when the national team is in action. is a different support for the club and for the national team of course national team always comes 1st all gone all die for my team and a bunch of what is special is your nation i said before we are quite like emotional people basically of course everybody was like and i do wish that we are was not did not know our time on the cover they support spears leibowitz as their song doesn't get the same support gets. accomplished but only when they're really good it's one and. then there's the hype going around round they've come back things in

euro 2000 and. 3 crazy for the comeback kid turkey have played a 2 tournaments where they showed what they can do. at euro 2008 they made it to the semifinal in dramatic fashion losing to germany in the final for a few you see only at the 2002 gold cup and the other semifinal defeat and the 3rd place finish. but the hype is over cookie haven't qualified for a world cup since then and only for one european championship in 2016 they crashed out of the group stages right now in a way to the turkish football federation every want to meet one of the turkish football legends it's how me to remember him you play football. right now he's working in the church. so it's going. to.

me just now in charge of the youth team set up and turkish for the right men in the right place. along. with the german mentality you learn just from a young age tommy was a foreigner in germany like many other famous turkish players recruiting tell him with turkish roots that born and raised in other european countries it was the federation strategy 4 years. 'd on the community. well you can only rely on telling us from abroad you also need to

develop players yourself. how much your clubs going about that i'm a doing enough. so that's what we're here to find. one of the big 3 in the stuff. we have around 21020 football schools in turkey from the ages from 9 to 14 and. 11000 kids having training with. schools. ok so yes you know all kids. almost but not the best one yet. all schools means. school coaches. best players and. but even with the best coaches only a select few make it into the 1st team and into the super league it's especially hard for turkish talents to break through in fact this super league has the highest

average playing age and europe's top leagues almost $29.00 higher than the league the premier league. if you want to. think. that. the management. must believe in these kids trickiness needs to give them the chance to play in the 1st 11. you can see your. play you can dream here.

play that it's a recurring tell them to play us like married to me shallow so young she initially you know and also. all of them left the country at a young age to make a name for themselves abroad none of them played for the big 3. turkish sports media the media and the fans ok like for example when. young kids they make a couple mistakes they get booed by their own fans and this has nothing to do with the different clubs this has to do with culture. too much passion too much bash. dana. too much passion too much pressure and then there is politics. president. is a figure on the world stage but he's not just politics as

a football fan himself even played professionally when he was younger. lost the national team and his footballing heroes. like. and the national team's record goalscorer. in 2016 of us charged with assaulting president. president accuses should be part of the movement seen as a terrorist group. claims the union movement was behind the failed military coup 26 team. left the country and is now in hiding in the united states. now an enemy of the state. they don't even say his name on television anymore.

football is politicized in turkey and many players openly support. during the qualifiers took his players gave a military salute. does not allow a political gesture criticized the players of the turkish federation to pay $50000.00 euros also because of the political context 'd the salute was made during the military offensive in north and syria in october 29000. you do if. this found you all but not everyone is on the same page when german born con ions caught the late equaliser against france he refused

to give the military salute much to the ngo some teammates. there were like tensions going on in the team or something like that yes i noticed that but. this is. slave. i don't get the cons perspective he's playing in germany there most of the people get the gesture so. he. parked there for the other perspective on. i wonder how the team will get on at the euros especially with german born players like kahn i have. some say patriotism and passion can lead you all the way others say you have to keep a cool head it's probably a bit of both. politics aside this turkish team are exciting to watch

a golden generation and they're making a surprise us all again to be the champion you know. we believe in our team. and we'll be that supports our team this one so we don't really think of the young players they're like oh you've just done this or what they can do in this such big . news that's why would i be. big then i don't know. and the spirit and i've done all. boarded george watch out for places the british bonnie and i don't often. so we spent a couple of days and we had a great insight into it took it it's not a football powerhouse yet there are many problems but the potential is there the hope for a new. successful generation will be watching closely any shots lautrec you.
