Claims of Reaction from National Team Players to Sergen Yalçın
After Vincenzo Montella, Sergen Yalçın was appointed to the Turkish national team. It has been claimed that he has had communication problems with some national team players because of the harsh criticism he made during his time as a television pundit. Journalist Sercan Hamzaoğlu's claims on his YouTube broadcast have brought the issue back into the spotlight.
The appointment of Sergen Yalçın to the national team after Vincenzo Montella has sparked a new debate behind the scenes. Journalist Sercan Hamzaoğlu claimed during a live broadcast on his eponymous YouTube channel that some national team players have not answered Yalçın's phone calls and have avoided meeting him.
According to Hamzaoğlu, the reason is the harsh remarks Yalçın made about these players during his time as a television pundit. According to the quoted words, one player said that even if someone were the national team coach, he could not work with a person who belittled him on screen. Hamzaoğlu also said that some players will attend training sessions but do not want to speak with Yalçın face to face.
Following the claims, Yalçın's comments from his punditry period came back into focus. His remarks on Barış Alper Yılmaz's performance, his criticism of Hakan Çalhanoğlu, his assessments of Kenan Yıldız and Arda Güler, and his statements on Ferdi Kadıoğlu's situation in the Premier League were recalled.
The claims in the report are based on Hamzaoğlu's account in his broadcast. The players named and Sergen Yalçın have not made any official statement regarding these claims.
