The commentary from Burak Yılmaz, who participated in a television program as a commentator during the match between the Turkish National Team and Wales, received backlash with footage of him previously stating, "I will never be a commentator." Burak Yılmaz made a statement regarding the issue. Former national football player and coach Burak Yılmaz, despite having previously announced that he would not engage in football commentary, criticized players on screen. The experienced football figure appeared on a television channel before and after the match played by the Turkish National Team in the Nations League, despite his earlier promise. After retiring from football, Burak Yılmaz, who stated in a YouTube program he was a guest on, "I will never be a commentator, I can't. I will never criticize my fellow players," responded to Mehmet Demirkol's remark, "We've heard this many times," with, "Bro, then record this too. Just like I won't go to Beşiktaş, record this too. (Laughing)" Exactly one year after the mentioned program, Burak Yılmaz was a guest on TV 8.5 before and after the match between the Turkish National Team and Wales. Sports fans on social media expressed sentiments like, "Weren't you going to be a commentator? He didn't keep his word" regarding Burak Yılmaz. Responding to the criticisms on social media, Burak Yılmaz stated: "I have never done sports commentary. We did it because I couldn't refuse a request from a brother I love very much regarding a match. I said, 'I won't criticize the players, I will never do sports commentary.' I didn't criticize there anyway. I mentioned that a player fell after the 60th minute. Malicious people say such things. I don't care much. I'm not criticizing there, nor am I doing commentary. It was a one-time thing. Social media is evil. I don't care much about it."
