My Take
Burak Yilmaz reads to me like pure footballing willpower. Standing at 188 cm and born in Antalya, he did something almost unthinkable by playing for all of Istanbul's Big Three. Most players burn bridges moving between rivals, but I suspect he simply scored his way into acceptance everywhere he went. Now coaching in the Super Lig, he faces the hard task of translating a striker's instinct into language young players can use. I am genuinely curious to see whether that goal-scorer's hunger survives the move to the dugout. It is a second act worth watching closely.
