Fatih Terim "THE KAISER". (Turk Futbol tarihinin Imparatoru!)Fatih Terim, Commendatore OSSI, (born September 4, 1953 in Adana, Turkey) is one of the most successful football players and managers of Turkey. He is considered to be one of the best managers due to his ability to motivate his players and aggressive game strategies.Euro 2008, Terim's tactics, Turkish attacking mentality and Euro-2008 semi final reaching teamRecently, Terim led the Turkish national team to the semi-finals of the UEFA European Football Championship where they lost 3-2 to Germany in a thrilling encounter missing out on a place in the final. Before this game Turkey had lost 4 of its starters -keeper Volkan Demirel, midfielders Arda Turan and Tuncay Sanli, and central defender Emre Asik- to suspensions, while a further influential 5 players including the midfield ace Emre Belezoglu, most influential central defender Servet Cetin, star forward Nihat Kahveci, midfielder Tumer Metin and starting central defender Emre Gungor were lost to injuries. The Turkish National Team had only 2 healthy outfield substitutes, while Tumer Metin was on the substitute list as a last resort. Fatih Terim proved to be the masterclass tactician he is, as in this game Turkey played a brilliant attacking football against Germany. Turkey controlled most of the midfield action and thus limited the offensive capabilities of Podolski and company. After Greece's defensive minded Euro-2004 victory the Turkish national team under the leadership of Fatih Terim have brought a new mentality to European and World football: Strong midfield with control over the ball and an attacking mentality may just be the best means of defending your goal. Turkey lost to Germany with a last minute goal but in all the statistics including shots on goal, corner kicks played and other measures of attacking power Turkey dominated Germany.Professional football playerIn 1969, Terim's professional football career began as a junior player with Adana Demirspor. Because of his financial difficulties, he was the only player in the team who was being paid secretly by the club at the time. Three years later, he became the captain of the team. He recalls his first game with the captain badge:" Just before the game, I cheered up my teammates, as a captain has to do, and ran out to the field. As I looked back on the field, no one was behind me. I was so fast that nobody could follow me. I was so excited. "Terim played 6 more years with Adana Demirspor. As a successful central defender, he joined Galatasaray SK in 1974 and played for 11 years for the club. However, during his time with Galatasaray, the club was not able to win the championship trophy in the Turkish league. Terim was capped to the Turkish national team 51 times, from 1974 to 1985, and was the national team captain for 35 international games, establishing the national record for both categories at his time. He ended his playing career in Galatasaray in 1985.Abdullah Gegic, a legendary football coach with Partizan Belgrade (of former Yugoslavia) and Eskisehirspor (of Turkey), knew Terim from his days as a central defender and described Terim as an intelligent defender with Beckenbauer like qualities. Gegic attributed Terim's successes as a coach to his unique understanding of the game that was developed during his time playing as a central defender.
