The dream finished for Turkey

Brazil was twig of the eagerness of glory of the Turks, who, in spite of being one of the revelations and to leave an image of serious equipment, were heartbroken

SAITAMA, Japan. - There was no recovery for Turkey and Brazil finished being its great twig in the World-wide one. It had had left the blood in the eye the selected one of the Bosphorus when in its debut in the last fell before the equipment of Scolari with a nonexistent penitentiary minutes. It lost yesterday without excuses, but that does not clear its worthy performance nor evacuates it of its condition of joint revelation, when leaving decades of mundialista ostracism with a compact game, that was not a caramel for anybody.

Turkey will the day after tomorrow face Korea South del, in an encounter that represents more enough than a prize consolation and will distará of being the shock in which habitually it is moderate plus the degree of frustration by not to have arrived at the end that the motivation to scale a step more in the final ordering.

This is thus because equipment will play both that extended to the maximum the surprise character that impregnated to this World-wide one. They are not two insatisfechos giants to remain in the threshold of the last day of competition. They are two emergent sets, that at the most high finish will benefit them in the general consideration.

"To be between the four best ones of the world he is something very important, but we wanted to arrive at the end and for that reason we go away disappointed", expressed Turkish technician Senol Günes, discarding any type of conformity.

Up to here, Turkey cleared World-wide an interesting one. It is leaving an image of serious, hard and organized equipment. It had a complicated starting, with the defeat before Brazil and the tie in front of Costa Rica; the passage for the eighth only made sure end with the victory before China.

In the decisive stage one was grown in personality and confidence. It ended to him the dream of Japan - in the last Eurocopa also it had eliminated one of the organizers, Belgium and ended the flight that had taken Senegal. It only capitulated before frightful Brazil, which would exempt it of justifications, but equal the reasonable opposition can use that raised to him.

Most paradoxical of Turkey it is that its praiseworthy campaign made it with prescindencia of that were its referring one and player of greater prestige in Europe: Hakan Sukur, that yes was holder in the six parties, but is as if it it had not been because it did not turn nor a goal and was seen it in a low yield.

That little and null it was the contribution of the forward who, previous to this Eastern appointment, had done 35 so many in 76 international parties with the t-shirt of his country. From the delegation it is alleged that it disputed the World-wide one with an annoyance in the left thigh, sufficient reason, along with his goleadora drought, to give more minutes from field to the moving and disquieting Ilhan Mansiz, that came as artilleryman from the Turkish league.

Although the strongpoint of Turkey was its cohesion, some individualities stood out with own light. Like the arquero Rüstü, insurance under woods and with very good advance payment in the aerial game; the zaguero Alpay, applied night watchman and in the mark; Davala, in spite of its loose performance before Brazil, is a right steering wheel with a good roundtrip; Hasan Sas and Basturk are two squirrels that operate the spaces with their short and encarador handling well. It is an equipment that is handled with tight results; six encounter he turned seven goals and he received four.

Turkey, with a tenacious and competitive style, put in the soccer map to that part of Eastern Europe that not always is considered.

SEUL (AP). - With the deception to hills, but knowledgeable of which its yield in this Glass of the World is much greater than the hoped one, the establishment of Turkey traveled today to Daegu, the city where the day after tomorrow the shock by the third position will take place, that will face it Korea.

Coming from Saitama, Japan, where Brazil eliminated it of the fight by the sceptre, the Turkish set was taken frees the day. And its only training for the commitment against the premises will be tomorrow.

Senol Günes, trainer of the equipment that until Corea/Japón had acted only in Switzerland ' 54, thought on the performance of Turkey: "We came to the Glass of the World to participate in the celebration and to make see us. I believe that we reached our objective. I am proud of my players, who are been formidable in all the parties. Nevertheless, we felt sad by not to have offered to the Turkish town a new source of joy ".

Anyway, the technical director wants more for the future, as much the near one as the mediate one: "the fact to arrive at a semifinal is something extraordinary. I hope that the next time we do not stop in this stage. But now we want to be third. The party with Korea will be developed in a friendlier atmosphere and it will not be the same tension that in a end by the Glass of the World ".

Even though its next encounter is going to be by the third place and not it definition of the contest, Günes occurred the luxury to indirectly criticize Germany, when venturing that "she will be a easy rival" in the outcome of the next Sunday. "Brazil has a good equipment, with very talented soccer players. It played well in our two confrontations, but this time (for yesterday) it did a little in serious more. It has gained all his parties in this match. The end against Germany will be relatively easy for Brazil ", extended.
