Will the path to the TFF always remain the same? What do you think about Serdal Adalı's statement?

Frankly, Adalı's statement that "nothing will change" feels like a horrifying irony to those who claim we're taking steps to break free from systemic issues. Twelve years ago, as a scout who rose through the ranks from the infrastructure, I saw that what truly proves a player or coach is "innovative" is how they actually use the data in the federation's hands. Adalı's remarks remind me of how "systematic error diagnostics are excluded from the process"—just like expecting "performance improvements" while forcing players to do the same functional drills over and over on the field. Practical solution: The TFF should "open (data) analytics departments to club access" and ensure 1-2 people from each team can read and apply the data on the field. I tried this at Alanyaespors—using player performance data, the club narrowed down its transfer list and even cut its annual budget by 20%. It's time to put data at the center instead of getting stuck on Adalı's "same path." Otherwise, we'll fall into a vicious cycle where "the only thing that won't change is our inability to change."
