A manager has got to have a full understanding of the game and Skibbe must understand basic facts about the Turkish league (Anatolian teams putting 11 defenders, foreigners not being motivated enough, not allowed to lose at your own stadium). If Skibbe can manage this then he will be succesful. Taylor: Now you're getting it! I have a huge scarf hanging in my room with that exact quote.

Did you see how Ayhan was hugging Skibbe after the goal? Gala has the best foreigners and local players of the last 7 season and there is absolutely no excuse to lose in UEFA or Superleague. Benfica fans leaving the stadium 10 minutes before the final whistle is a proof Gala dominated the game. Maybe the Portuguese should have learned from Turks at Euro 2008 - Football is a game of 90 minutes. It is obvious the players like their coach Skibbe.
