"Praises from Merih Demiral to Fatih Terim"

Merih Demiral, who plays for the Saudi Arabian team Al Ahli, spoke about Al Shabab's head coach Fatih Terim.

"A WONDERFUL PERSON"

The successful footballer stated, "We talked two days ago with Fatih Terim. He is a wonderful person. He is a great coach with what he has done in Turkey and Italy. He is one of the best coaches in Turkey. Everyone sees him as a role model. I am very happy that he is here for Al Shabab. I believe he will do great things for Al Shabab and Saudi football. We will meet soon," he said.

Merih Demiral, who mentioned that he watched Fatih Terim during EURO 2008, said, "He did wonderful things there. We were really good. I was around 9-10 years old. I remember painting my face red and white. Everything was so crazy. That's why I love and respect him so much," he expressed.
