“I won’t play under Terim again:” Bastürk

VfB Stuttgart player Yildiray Bastürk will not be playing for the Turkish team as long as Fatih Terim is the manager.

In an interview with German sports paper ‘Der Kicker’, Bastürk revealed his frustration after missing out on the European Championships.

The midfielder was one of three players to have been removed from Terim’s pre-selection, with Halil Altintop and Ibrahim Kas.

“I will never play under Terim again,” said Bastürk who has made 49 appearances for the national team so far.

“I like playing for the Turkish team, but as long as Terim has the reigns, there’s no point for me.”

There is hope for the player though, as it seems likely that Terim will be making a move to a club team after Euro 2008.
