Finally, experienced coach Yılmaz Vural, who works for Menemen FK, a team in the Turkish Second League, commented on the agenda of Turkish football. Making noteworthy statements to Radyospor, Vural talked about Fenerbahçe's coach Jose Mourinho and the championship contenders. "THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT MOURINHO WILL BE CHAMPION"Speaking about Jose Mourinho, Vural said, "When you come to Turkey, it is very difficult to understand people. I think Mourinho is experiencing this problem as well. He has won the Champions League several times and the Premier League. His expertise is at a very high level. But just because Mourinho came, it doesn't guarantee that he will be champion. Managing human relationships is very difficult here. Mourinho will earn 45 million euros in 3 years at Fenerbahçe. If we, as Turkish coaches, ask for 1 million euros, they react by saying 'are you buying the club?'" "BEŞİKTAŞ IS THE STRONGEST CONTENDER FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP"When asked about the favorite for the championship, Vural said, "There is a complete team effort at Beşiktaş. It is not possible for the coach alone to create this atmosphere. The club president has very important international relations. They selected players according to their own needs. They created team dynamics and gave the coach a very good squad. I don't think the coach had a significant contribution in transfers. Of course, they may have asked for his opinion, but the real success is the management's. Van Bronckhorst is a very lucky coach. They prepared and provided everything for him. At the beginning, Beşiktaş is the strongest contender for the championship, then Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray has suffered a lot. I don't know if it will change later, but at the beginning, it is Beşiktaş."
