It burn, the genius that dreamed with the Barça from Turkey

In an article published in the newspaper "Sport", the one who went in 2009 member of the technical body of Frank Rijkaard in the Galatasaray together with Johan Neeskens and Albert Rock, Carles Cuadrat, has narrated to the detail which were his impressions on Burn Turan during the season in that it had it to his orders in the Turkish group. By that then Burn had only 21 years, but Cuadrat explains some anecdotes and curiosities that already reveal the personality that had in that period the new signing of the Barcelona for the next five seasons and his strong passion by the Barça.

"The first that hear of Turan was that the president of the club wanted to do it captain of the team. With so alone 21 years, and in a full staff of international by Turkey and of foreign veterans. This data speaks of what meant already of well jovencito this player. A crack of the house, fan enfervorizado from small of the colours of the Galatasaray, with a tremenda personality, but at the same time a man that the club wanted to preserve", explains Cuadrat.

Apparently, Burn Turan had been from always a passionate of the game of the FC Barcelona. "In the rondos of warming, when it did a good exchange of passes and shouted "Olé", immediately looked us to Albert and to me and said us "like Xavi! As Iniesta!!". They do not have any doubt, Burn is an enamoured of the game of the Barça, from small, and for him can play against them in Spain, contest them Leagues and final as it has occurred in these last years, is something very special. Fichar And be player of the Barcelona club will be for him the culmination to a career of dream".

Cuadrat Explains also how used Frank Rijkaard to Burn Turan in his first season in the Galatasaray. "It burn it came to play as inner right in a 4-4-2, during the last league that had won the Galatasaray, in 2008. And before, during his cession to the Manisaspor when only it had 18 years, had been a carrilero of band with a lot of route".

"But for our system of game "made in Barça", to Burn gave him a new work like left extreme, since Kewell worked very well by the right band to be able to go in to leg changed and use his powerful shot to goal from there. Burn it engaged with the group, and gave a big performance sacrificing in this new position for him. It was Rijkaard the one who attained to take him out a greater offensive performance since his best numbers like professional, with 11 goals and 26 assistances (a total of 37 goals coming by his actions), went this first season of Frank in the Turkish bench. And this that lesionó and lost quite a lot of important duels".

One of the hándicaps of Burn, however, has been always the selection. "It is necessary to understand that it Burn is an authentic icon in his country. It was chosen "Sportsman of the Year" in 2013, falls well to all the world, makes announcements constantly, captain with his Selection. Perhaps that was the big penalty in the career of Burn. Being important player, with so only 20 years, in the team that reached surprisingly the semifinals of the Eurocopa 2008". In any case, Cuadrat ensures that it Burn will be happy in the Barça. "In the Barça, Burn will be the happiest man of the Earth tracing passes with Iniesta and Messi. And one of his greater virtues; it will know to transmit this happiness to his mates".
