Slovak football icon Jan Durica, who himself has experience playing for Turkish club trabzonspor, recently offered his outlook on Milan Skriniar’s transfer from French giants Paris Saint-Germain to Fenerbahçe.
According to Durica, joining Fenerbahçe, while a move down from champions League football, isn’t necessarily a setback for skriniar. Durica explains, “‘Clubs he played for; Inter, Paris Saint-Germain and now Fenerbahçe. From Milan’s perspective, this is not a step back, just a level down.”
He emphasizes the crucial importance of consistent playing time at this stage of Skriniar’s career, stating “‘The vital thing is to show that you want to play. Game practice is very important.'”
Skriniar’s limited game time in recent months, save for appearances in the national team, suggests finding regular minutes must have been a driving factor.
“He has hardly played outside the national team in recent months. It wouldn’t make sense to sit on the bench in the prime of your career. He must have looked at it from this perspective too.”
Durica further highlighted the positive impact of joining Mourinho’s tactical acumen, claiming “‘Moreover, it will be under the management of legendary coach Jose Mourinho. Mourinho chose him, which is a big plus.'” Joining a club backed by a figure like Mourinho lends important weight and credibility to Fenerbahçe’s ambitions.
Durica, drawing a parallel with the successful tenure of former Slovak captain Martin Skrtel at the club, states, “‘skrtel also played for Fenerbahçe. Thus, it is indeed inevitable that it will be successful when needed. ‘”
Durica paints a picture of Turkish football’s inherent intensity, suggesting, “‘ When it comes to football, the Turkish league is really tough.There are fast and high-quality foreigners.”
Nevertheless, he expects Skriniar’s commitment and personality traits to resonate powerfully with the fans. “‘Fans are literally crazy. Milan will fascinate them with his performance and humanity, and they will love him.'”
Durica, drawing on his understanding of Turkish culture adds, “‘Turks are good-hearted. They love character and human qualities.'”
