Arda Turan

I'm just going to throw a name out there.

Arda Turan.

13th.

Action lucky.

It came from Patrick Kendrick, who was at the press conference for Shakhtar Donetsk's trip to face Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

He says, Arda Turan, Shakhtar's manager, is asked about San Siro before interrupting the journalist to say, Giuseppe Meazza, because it's Inter.

it turns out it's complete bollocks but i really love that this accepted wisdom actually no inter playing there tonight so it's the giuseppe miata i love it i love it i think it's immaculate is that right

that distinction because i i remember just on my p i remember on championship manager 97 98 learning about giuseppe miata because that's what it's called rather than san siro but i don't i didn't remember if it was a team distinction

There's enough confident people in the replies saying that Arda Turan is wrong here.

And it's just, San Siro is the area.

It's the informal name for the stadium or just San Siro.

That is a very good start for Besiktas and Besiktas coach Vincenzo Italiano.

So, also, I want to give a mention, kudos to Arda Turan's team.

Shakhtar Donetsk, they won their first match in the Champions League.

They had a tie.

They, they went a goal down, and they got back quickly with a VAR penalty, um, scored two goals later on af-after the third.

So they're managed, for those who don't know, by Ar- Arda Turan, um, who is on- only 39, um, which I hadn't quite clocked.

Um, and Arda Turan is obviously famously, um, was a very good player, and he's a bit of a firebrand.

Um, and he was, he was magnetic viewing for the en- entire game.

For the second half, I think he was playing left wing for Shakhtar, to be honest.

We're here to tell you all about it.

Arda Turan joins us.

Good morning.

[laughs]

They lost all four of their Nations League matches.

Shakhtar Donetsk boss, Arda Turan, has been linked with the job.

Montella, when he was asked about the current criticism, says he doesn't wanna pay too much attention to it.

He said, "With these players, we went back to the World Cup after 24 years, and we were promoted to League A of the Nations League." Is it as simple as that, that they've gone to a higher level in the Nations League, they're playing big hitters like France, and they're getting done, or is there a problem here that the Turkish Federation needs to solve?

I'm a little scared because when Falcao cut his hair off, it didn't grow back.

Really? That happened to Falcao? When Arda Turan, Atleti Barcelona player, when he cut his hair off, it was down to his shoulder, but when he cut his hair off, it didn't grow back.

So I wonder, I'm a little scared for Haaland right now.

Huh.
