บท 592: Welcome to Hell

There was supposed to be a press conference when the Forest team went to İnönü Stadium to warm up. It was the last press conference attended by both managers before the game where the reporters could ask some questions about the two teams and the evening's game.

All of the British and Turkish media outlets had prepared a host of questions, waiting to bombard the two managers.

In the end, they waited in vain for the Forest team to come to the stadium to warm up. The press conference had to be held as scheduled with only the Beşiktaş manager, Ertuğrul Sağlam, in attendance.

At thirty-seven years old, Sağlam was a year younger than Twain. He was brought in by the Beşiktaş football club to replace the famous French star player and former Fulham manager Jean Tigana after his excellent performance in leading Kayserispor. Sağlam was now an outstanding representation of Turkey's young managers and a possible successor to the Turkish national team manager, Fatih Terim.
